What the commission approved on Nov. 6, 2025
- Approval of minutes from the Oct. 2, 2025 Planning Commission meeting.
- Approval to close the public input period for the meeting.
- Approval of the Planning Commission 2026 meeting schedule (move meetings to the second Thursday in months where the first Thursday conflicts with holidays/events).
- Rivertown Road North Phase 1: motion recommended approval to extend and reduce the letter of credit for one additional year; staff reported about 16 vacant lots remain in Phase 1 and recommended approval of a reduced letter of credit of approximately $163,761.
- Rezoning, Agenda Item 6(a)(1) (Coastal Heights annexation): staff recommended annexation and R‑1 (low‑density residential) zoning to align with adjacent R‑1 lots; staff said first reading at City Council was scheduled for Nov. 17 and final reading could occur Dec. 1. The commission voted to approve the rezoning recommendation.

Vote details and procedure
Most votes were taken by voice; the transcript records unanimous or unopposed voice votes for the listed items but does not provide a roll‑call tally or named yes/no votes. Where the transcript records only an affirmative voice vote, this article reports the recorded outcome as "approved." If and when an item proceeds to City Council (annexation and rezoning ordinances noted), Council will record formal readings and vote tallies.
Notes
- The Rivertown letter‑of‑credit figure is staff's approximate recommended reduced amount ($163,761). The developer representative from Beverly Homes was present, according to staff, but the transcript does not include a formal statement from that representative.
- No ordinance amendments were adopted at this meeting; two substantive discussions (HC use table and permanent outdoor event spaces) were held and staff will bring back draft options next month.
