# Planning Commission - 6:00 P.M. 9/17/2026

The City of Encinitas Planning Commission held a meeting on September 17, 2026, addressing several key items including a residential addition and remodel project at 1500 Neptune Avenue and a pedestrian path project along Vulcan Avenue. The commission reviewed and approved the coastal development permit for the residential remodel, which included discussions on geotechnical stability, bluff setbacks, and compliance with coastal commission requirements, including the removal of unpermitted stairs. The applicant agreed to conditions related to the stairs removal. The commission also considered the Vulcan Avenue pedestrian path project, which involves constructing a decomposed granite walkway and a wooden pedestrian bridge, with discussions focusing on materials, maintenance, ADA compliance, and project timing. The project received community support and was approved unanimously. Additionally, the commission reviewed an omnibus zoning code cleanup ordinance aimed at correcting typographical errors, clarifying regulations, and streamlining processes, including a proposed future amendment to allow zero-foot interior sideyard setbacks for twin home developments in a specific Cardiff neighborhood. The commission recommended approval of the ordinance and supported moving forward with the Cardiff twin home amendment as a separate future ordinance. No votes were taken to allocate new budgets, but motions were passed to approve the projects and ordinance as presented.
