The DRC is comprised of three (3) members of the Planning Commission (see member roster). The DRC is responsible for approving, conditionally approving, or denying the above-listed projects. The DRC also reviews and comments on all major development projects before such projects are scheduled for review and consideration by the Planning Commission and/or City Council for final action.
The focus of the DRC’s review is to determine conformance of proposed projects with the City’s: General Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Zoning Ordinance, Design Guidelines, and other applicable City policies, resolutions, and standards, as well as compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
The DRC meeting is open to the public. Agendas are posted on the Notice Board located on the south side of the Library Building next to the pay phones. To get on a DRC Agenda, an applicant would need to fill out a Development Application. See the Minor Development Application Guide for guidelines on what needs to be submitted.
