In a recent government meeting, the commission addressed two significant requests concerning property developments in the area.

The first item involved a request from Mauro Hida, who sought approval to complete a carport that had been halted due to permit issues. Hida explained that he was unaware of the necessary permits when he hired a contractor, leading to a stop-work order from the city. After a lengthy wait for the meeting, Hida expressed his desire to continue the project, noting that he had revised the design to include a pitched roof as required by the commission. The commission unanimously approved the motion to allow Hida to proceed with the construction.

The second item on the agenda was a request for a zone change from a single-family residential district to a commercial general designation for properties located at 720 Walnut. The owner, represented by Rodney Cody Guard of Beals Auto Service, explained plans to extend their existing building and improve the overall appearance of the area. The commission noted that all property owners within a 100-foot radius had been notified of the change, with no protests received. The request was also approved unanimously, with the commission emphasizing that the change posed no threat to public health, safety, or welfare.

Both approvals reflect the commission's commitment to facilitating local development while ensuring compliance with city regulations.
