# Planning Commission Meeting - September 16, 2026

The City of Laguna Beach Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 16, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on a temporary use permit (TUP) for a construction employee parking lot to support the Pacific Edge Hotel remodel project. The commission reviewed and adopted a revised resolution limiting the use to employee parking only, with conditions including shuttle service, secured gates, and a maximum of 59 parking spaces. Public concerns about noise, traffic, safety, and environmental impacts were extensively discussed, leading to a condition for a compliance review six months after commencement. Additionally, the commission approved a sign permit for Amorelia Cocina Artisanal restaurant, including after-the-fact approval of an unpermitted sign, and reviewed design and coastal development permits for Jars Park renovation and a concept review for Main Beach boardwalk wood replacement. The boardwalk project included evaluation of wood materials considering cost, durability, and aesthetics, with no final material selection made. The meeting concluded with the commission setting the next meeting date for October 21, 2026.
