The City of Upland Planning Commission held a joint meeting with the Airport Land Use Committee on September 23, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the introduction and recommendation of objective design standards for multifamily housing developments, aimed at streamlining the review process and enhancing community character. The commission recommended approval of zoning code amendment 25-0006 to the city council, which codifies these standards. Additionally, a specific plan amendment was recommended to rezone a historic downtown property from Civic Center District to Old Town District to allow more varied land uses, facilitating tenant occupancy. The Buffalo Grove Specific Plan project was continued to a date uncertain pending resolution of sewer connection issues, with the commission voting to continue the item accordingly. The meeting also included updates on infrastructure projects such as the Foothill Boulevard Rehabilitation Project and discussions on public safety enhancements, including drone deployment and police staffing increases. The city highlighted its financial management successes, including pension savings and budget transparency initiatives, and emphasized ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and support local businesses. No contract awards or vendor selections were directly discussed, but the meeting reflected policy and planning decisions that will influence future procurement and development activities in Upland.
