The Yucca Valley Planning Commission meeting will begin with the review of an exterior color change application for a hotel, Spark by Hilton. Formerly the SureStay by Best Western, the renovated hotel plans to open in March. While the main colors of the proposed design are gray, the plan also includes a vibrant geometric design on the west end of the building, facing the parking lot. Town Staff recommends that the Planning Commission denies the application, as the Commercial Design Guidelines discourage bright or fluorescent color palettes.
The Planning Commission will then set the annual cap for the Town’s short-term vacation rentals. In 2022, Yucca Valley adopted an ordinance which mandates that the number of temporary short-term vacation rental permits does not exceed ten percent of its inventory of detached single-family dwelling units. The Town’s annual maximum number of permits for 2025 will be set at 788.
Lastly, the Planning Commission will receive the Land Development Update, which details private development and capital project activity within the Town.
Tonight’s meeting is open to the public and begins at 6 p.m. at the Yucca Valley Community Center.
