Fresno Planning Commission
The Fresno Planning Commission recommends actions on various planning issues, such as plan amendments, rezones and appeals for development permits or conditional use permits. It is an advisory committee, consisting of seven members appointed by the mayor and city council.
Meetings usually occur at 6 p.m. on the first and third Wednesdays of each month in the city council chambers at 2600 Fresno Street. They can also be joined via Zoom and are webcast on CMAC.
After nearly two hours of discussion and public comments from business owners in support and a few against, the Fresno Planning Commission moved forward an amendment that will allow electrified fencing in more non-residential zones in the city, if it is approved by the city council.
The commissioners advanced a proposal to add an industrial overlay district on 92.5 acres in southwest Fresno and approved sending a rezone application to the city council that would rezone the same land from neighborhood mixed use to light industrial use.
The commissioners approved a Granville Homes subdivision in North Fresno and received an overview of SB 330, commonly referred to as the Housing Crisis Act of 2019.
The commissioners approved a rezone in Southwest Fresno for the construction of a Busseto Foods warehouse campus and denied the appeal of a Verizon tower.
