Resident letter asks Planning Commission to consider smog facility use; staff says site not currently zoned
Summary
Wendy Sundberg submitted a letter asking the Planning Commission to consider allowing a commercial property to be used for a smog facility; staff said the property is not currently zoned for that use and that the commission cannot act on non-agendized items at this meeting.
Wendy Sundberg submitted a letter to the Twentynine Palms Planning Commission requesting that a commercial property be used for a smog facility. Planning staff summarized the letter at the meeting and said the site is not currently zoned for that purpose.
The Community Development Director told the commission that the Planning Commission cannot make a decision on items not on the printed agenda and offered to provide additional background at a future meeting if the commission directs further consideration. In response the chair and staff said they would keep public comment open for the related agenda item and return to it in a later meeting if it is agendized.
Why it matters: The request would require a zoning review or a permit change for a commercial lot; staff emphasized procedural limits under the Brown Act and that no decision would be made at this session.
Details: The letter was summarized by staff at the meeting; the transcript does not specify the parcel address, the applicant for the change, or technical zoning classifications. Those details were not provided in the meeting record.
