Redding Planning Commission Meeting 9-22-2026

The City of Redding Planning Commission held a meeting on September 22, 2026, to consider a site development permit, rezoning, and general plan amendment for properties at 2520 and 2530 Lockheed Drive. The applicant, Bullard Electric, seeks to rezone the parcels from General Commercial (GC) to General Industry (GI) to allow expansion of a contractor storage yard. Staff presented the project details, including compliance with environmental regulations, floodplain setbacks, and screening requirements. The Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) had found the project inconsistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLEP) due to land use designation conflicts, but the Planning Commission discussed overruling ALUC based on public utilities code provisions. Key procurement-related discussions included conditions on fencing materials, storage height limits (ultimately set at 50 feet), and easements for parcel access. The commission voted to forward a recommendation to the City Council to approve the general plan amendment, rezoning, and site development permit with modifications addressing durable fencing, height restrictions, and inclusion of the required supermajority vote in the resolution. No public comments were received during the meeting.
