# Planning Commission 11/5/2026

The Mendocino County Planning Commission meeting on November 5, 2026, addressed several land-use matters; no procurement, contract awards, or spending actions were identified. Commissioners discussed a proposed local coastal program amendment and rezoning to allow a potential inn of up to 10 units (the applicant’s stated plan was five units), including public access, lower-cost lodging, habitat buffers, and the lengthy approval path through the Board of Supervisors and Coastal Commission. The transcript does not capture a vote on that item. The Commission also approved, 4–1, a modification to a wireless communications tower permit, allowing a proposed height increase from 135 feet by 20 feet; public commenters raised concerns about separate fiber-optic work and appeals, which staff characterized as outside the scope of this permit item.

Other agenda matters included a proposed rezoning of an 80-acre parcel from rangeland to timber production zoning and an item concerning agricultural-preserve acreage and Williamson Act contracts. The transcript is incomplete around motions and votes on these items, so their outcomes cannot be confirmed. Commissioners also raised concerns about agenda-document organization and the placement of public notices in local newspapers.
