# Huntington Beach Planning Commission Meeting - October 27, 2026

The Huntington Beach Planning Commission held a study session on October 27, 2026, regarding California Resources Corporation’s proposed amendment to the Palm Golden West Specific Plan. The proposal would revise land uses on the 92-acre CRC site to allow up to 800 homes, up to 350 hotel rooms, visitor-serving commercial uses, and expanded public open space and coastal access. Plans described include a roughly 1.2-mile esplanade, about 100 coastal parking spaces, new pedestrian and bicycle connections, and 10% affordable housing. The applicant characterized the amendment as establishing a framework for future development, not approving a specific construction project; later review would include public hearings and Coastal Commission review, following site remediation.

Commissioners asked about traffic and PCH access, parking, street and open-space maintenance, utilities and drainage capacity, and the level of detail to be provided in later project applications. The applicant cited an estimated $3.2 billion build-out value and projected city fiscal benefits, including an estimated $12.2 million in gross annual fiscal benefits and approximately $10 million in park fees. No procurement activity, spending authorization, contract award, or vote was identified; the item was informational and scheduled for future consideration.
