# Santa Maria Planning Commission - October 21, 2026 Meeting

The City of Santa Maria Planning Commission meeting on October 21, 2026, considered two land-use items. For Westgate Village, a proposed mixed-use subdivision with six commercial lots and 92 market-rate apartments, commissioners unanimously recommended that the City Council adopt the environmental finding and approve the general plan amendment, rezoning, specific plan amendment, tentative tract map, and planned development and conditional use permits. The revised plan met the residential open-space requirement and retained parking above the stated minimums. The commission also requested that a dog-park or dog-run amenity be included in the permit recommendation. The City Council will make the final decision; traffic improvements were discussed in connection with the city’s AB 1600 fee program, but no specific fee amount was stated.

The commission unanimously approved a conditional use permit for a small funeral and memorial facility in an existing 4,200-square-foot building at 920 South Broadway, including a caretaker’s residence. Conditions address parking coordination, directional signage and striping, landscaping, and building maintenance. No contract awards, vendor selections, procurement actions, or specific spending allocations were identified in the meeting.
