The Commission will vote on recommendations to the City Council for the two major projects and decide on the theater permit directly.

- Courtyard at Hidden Pines (2415 North Railroad Avenue): rezone 2.8 acres from Public Facilities to Medium Density Residential, six attached single-family homes, eight market-rate apartments, 21,041 sq ft commercial, 72 parking spaces.
- Both major projects require General Plan amendments, Specific Plan amendments, Tentative Tract Maps, Planned Development Permits, and Conditional Use Permits.
- CEQA review: Westgate Village uses a Mitigated Negative Declaration; Hidden Pines uses an Addendum to a 1992 EIR.
