Planning Commission considers RV storage rezone; Economic panel to discuss downtown funding
The Patterson Planning Commission held a public hearing June 25 on a proposal to recommend that Stanislaus County rezone an 8.79-acre parcel at 261 Orange Avenue for an RV and boat storage facility. The commission’s meeting agenda, for which minutes have not yet been published, included consideration of a General Plan amendment and rezone application (PLN 2026-0010) that would change the property’s designation from Urban Transition and General Agriculture to Planned Development. The proposed facility would contain 197 graveled parking stalls for RVs, trailers, and boats. City staff noted the use is inconsistent with the property’s existing Low Density Residential designation under the city’s General Plan.

The agenda also included a consent agenda item to approve meeting minutes from May 28 and June 11, 2026.
