# 11.04.26 Salinas Planning Commission Meeting of November 4, 2026

The Salinas Planning Commission meeting on November 4, 2026, approved the 2027 meeting calendar and the minutes of October 21. Its main substantive item was a required general-plan conformity finding for the proposed disposition of downtown Parking Lots 8 and 12, comprising eight parcels. The commission approved the resolution finding the proposed disposition consistent with the 2002 General Plan. Staff clarified that this action did not approve a sale, price, buyer, or development project; environmental review and negotiations are underway, and future development proposals will undergo further review. Staff described plans for interim employee parking and underground parking in a proposed development. No contract awards, bids, or procurement spending approvals were identified.

Commissioners also noted a housing Notice of Funding Availability report planned for the November 18 agenda. Staff said the public review draft of the General Plan, Climate Action Plan, and draft Environmental Impact Report was targeted for release December 4, with a 45-day review period and a Commission study session planned for December 16. A commissioner requested a future presentation on city road plans, but no action or funding decision was taken on that request.
