Santa Maria Planning Commission reviews zoning changes; City Council to consider catering truck rules
No decisions were made at Santa Maria’s two Planning Commission meetings last week, but the City Council is set to take up several items Tuesday, including an update to catering vehicle regulations.
Planning Commission reviews zoning text amendments
The Planning Commission met July 1 to consider several zoning code changes, but the meeting was an agenda-only session—minutes have not yet been published, so no votes or final actions are available.
Among the items the commission discussed:
- A conditional use permit for ProForm Sports Academy at 3070 Skyway Drive Suite 402.
- Creation of a Senior Mobile Home Park Overlay District (Z2025-0003).
- Zoning amendments related to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
- Amendments for Child Day Care Centers and Transitional/Supportive Housing.
- Updates to rules on non-taxable merchandise limitations.
A separate Planning Commission study session on July 2 had no substantive items listed; the agenda consisted only of procedural boilerplate.
City Council to vote on catering vehicle rules
The City Council meets July 7 at its regular session. After a closed session to evaluate the City Attorney, discuss labor negotiations, and confer on litigation, the council will consider a consent calendar that includes:
- Adoption of Ordinance No. 2026-04, updating catering vehicle regulations.
- A resolution approving census tracts for Opportunity Zones 2.0.
- A public convenience determination for a Type 20 beer/wine license at Super Canasta, located at 2011 S Miller St.
- Amendment No. 1 to an agreement with Rincon Consultants for additional funds for environmental analysis of a package delivery warehouse.
- A resolution establishing the FY 2026-27 appropriation limit.
The council will also consider a proclamation for Recreation and Parks Month.
