The City of Perris Planning Commission convened on August 6, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the approval of minutes, street naming proposals, and significant development plans.

The meeting commenced with a roll call of commissioners, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Commissioner Lopez. The first item on the agenda was the consent calendar, which included the approval of the minutes from the July 16, 2025, meeting and a proposal to name nine streets in a new residential development. Chair Hammond recused himself from the street naming item due to a conflict of interest. The minutes were approved unanimously, with a vote of 5-0.

Following this, the commission discussed the street naming proposal. Commissioner Jimenez suggested changing one of the proposed street names from "Sales" to "Shade Stone Lane." This amendment was accepted, and the revised street naming proposal was approved with a vote of 4-0, as Chair Hammond was recused.

The meeting then moved to public hearings, starting with Item 6a, which involved a tentative parcel map and development plan review for a trailer storage and maintenance yard on Mann Street. The applicant requested a continuance to August 20, 2025, to finalize details with staff. Public comments were solicited, with Kurt Heintz from March Air Reserve Base expressing the need for compliance reviews due to the site's location in an accident potential zone. The continuance was approved unanimously.

Next, Item 6b focused on the proposed Ayarta Marketplace Shopping Center, which would occupy 10.55 acres at the southeast corner of Placentia Avenue and Paris Boulevard. The development includes a grocery store, convenience store, drive-through coffee shop, and several restaurants. The commission reviewed updated conditions of approval and discussed the project's compliance with environmental regulations. Staff recommended adopting resolutions to certify the environmental impact report and approve the development plans. After a brief discussion and a minor amendment to the resolution's wording, the commission voted 5-0 in favor of the project.

In conclusion, the meeting addressed important developments in Perris, with the commission approving minutes, street names, and significant commercial projects, all aimed at enhancing the community's infrastructure and services. The next meeting is scheduled for August 20, 2025, to continue discussions on pending items.
