The Planning Commission reviewed a Land Use Compliance request to increase the total number of occupants in an STVR from 8 to fourteen in a three thousand-square-foot house on Emerson Avenue. The Commissioners agreed they needed to codify the rules for bigger houses, and more discussion was needed. The staff recommended a continuation. It was unanimously approved. In additional business, the Planning Commission adopted the maximum number of Temporary Short-Term Vacation Rental permits for 2022 at 10 percent. The inventory for this year is 7,708 single-family detached homes, and the maximum of 771 will hit by October. The Commission received and adopted the resolution.
Future agenda items will include the completion of the Quick Quack drive-through car wash and Chipotle, which is making corrections to its plans to accommodate the widening of highway 62. The Diamond Automotive Cafe plans are progressing. The California Fish and Game Commission will again meet to decide the fate of the Western Joshua Tree on October 12 and 13. In conclusion, the North Park project was finished and open to outdoor activities. The Little League Drive sidewalk project is moving forward.
