Holtville Planning Commission elects officers and approves planning case PC 25‑901

At its Feb. 13 meeting, the Holtville Planning Commission elected officers, appointed new commissioners to fill recent vacancies and approved a planning case and the meeting minutes.

The commission elected Cindy Pacheco as chair in a roll‑call vote. Commissioners recorded unanimous votes in the roll call when confirming the chair and when electing a vice chair at the same meeting (nominee for vice chair not specified in the transcript). The commission also moved to appoint new planning commissioners to fill two open seats created after Vanessa Ramirez joined the city council and after the previous chairman, Ross Daniels, resigned; the transcript notes two appointments were made but does not state the appointees’ full names.

On a separate agenda item, the commission considered and approved a motion to adopt planning case PC 25‑901. The motion to approve PC 25‑901 carried on a recorded roll call: Stacy Bretchke — yes; Georgina Camacho — yes; John (last name variant in record) — yes; Devron Gray — yes; Cindy Pacheco — yes. The transcript does not record a mover or seconder for the motion.

The commission also approved the minutes of the Dec. 17 meeting by roll call; votes recorded in the transcript show all present commissioners voting yes. No amendments to the minutes were recorded.

Remarks about the planning elements requirement were made during the meeting; one speaker summarized that there are several required elements of a general plan (land use, circulation, conservation and open space, safety, noise, housing and related elements) and said California cities must include them in their plans. The transcript does not cite a specific statute or ordinance for that statement.

No appeals, subdivisions of the PC 25‑901 decision, or follow‑up deadlines were recorded in the transcript.
