Planning Commission - September 8, 2026

The City of Desert Hot Springs Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 8, 2026. The primary procurement-related discussion involved the approval of Conditional Use Permit number 26-6, which included granting a certificate of public convenience and necessity for a Type 21 ABC license (allowing off-sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits) at a Chevron fueling station located at 64200 20th Avenue. The applicant, Steve Rawlings, representing the new property owners, confirmed plans for potential remodeling and rebranding of the convenience store. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the permit and certified the CEQA exemption, enabling the business to reopen under new ownership and branding. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
