Last night’s Yucca Valley Planning Commission meeting began with a Public Hearing on a Class III Home Occupation Permit for private music lessons and music composition. The lessons will be held within an accessory dwelling unit, with a maximum of five customers daily. The Planning Commission approved the permit without issue, complimenting the applicant for going through the Town’s steps prior to running a business from the home.
The Commission then considered an Exterior Color Change application for Taqueria El Comandante. Last night was the fourth time the Commission reviewed the item, which had been continued due to a bright color palette noncompliant with the Commercial Design Guidelines. The applicant was in attendance and the Commission continued the item, recommending that he work with Staff to create a visual proposal that would fall within the parameters set by the Town.
Lastly, Town Staff provided the Commission with the Land Development Update. An architect contacted Building and Safety regarding building plan requirements to convert the former Pizza Hut building to an El Pollo Loco. The Town is still waiting to hear whether the Vertical Bridge Monopine project intends to move forward, and Walmart has entered the CEQA review process for its fuel station and convenience store.
