September 8, 2026 Planning Commission Meeting

The City of Shafter Planning Commission held a meeting on September 8, 2026, primarily to discuss Development Agreement Number 25-22 related to the Mission Lake Specific Plan area. The agreement, negotiated between the city and property owners including Land Reserve and Seventh Standard Ranch Investors LLC, updates impact fees for traffic, parks, sewer, and other infrastructure to ensure adequate funding for public improvements associated with the development of this 1,357-acre master planned community. The commission reviewed the environmental compliance, confirming no new environmental impact report was required as the development remains within previously analyzed parameters. After discussion, the commission unanimously approved a resolution recommending the city council adopt the revised development agreement, which establishes phased public improvements and impact fee structures to support orderly development and maintenance funding through a community facilities district.
