Riverbank Planning Commission approves consent items, continues item to Jan. 21; staff previews Tractor Supply shopping center and housing element timeline
Summary
The Riverbank Planning Commission unanimously approved routine consent items and voted to continue agenda item 3.1 to Jan. 21, 2025. Planning staff previewed upcoming projects including a Tractor Supply-anchored shopping center on Patterson and said the housing element will be sent to the state for a 90‑day review ahead of a likely March adoption.
The Riverbank Planning Commission on an evening vote approved the consent calendar — posting of the agenda, approval of the agenda and approval of the Oct. 15, 2024 minutes — and unanimously voted to continue agenda item 3.1 to the Commission's regular meeting on Jan. 21, 2025.
Planning staff recommended the continuance, saying a few issues had come up that would be best resolved with more time and noting a date typo in the staff memo (the memo listed Jan. 20 but staff said the correct date is Jan. 21, 2025). The Commission member moving the continuance motion and the seconder were not named on the record; the chair announced the item was approved to be continued.
During staff comments, the planning department previewed several items expected on upcoming agendas. Staff said, "This is a shopping center project that includes Tractor Supply" and described the site as a currently vacant property on Patterson directly east of the Dutch Brothers; that shopping-center proposal is scheduled for the December meeting. Staff also said the Shaffer parcel map had been continued and that an apartment project on Morrell between Jackson and Howard will likely come before the Commission in January.
On the housing element, staff said the draft is being prepared for transmittal to the state for the state's 90-day review and that, once returned from the state, the housing element is expected to return to the Planning Commission around March for final adoption.
No public comments or substantive policy decisions occurred during the meeting beyond the formal motions to approve the consent calendar and to continue item 3.1. The Commission took no other votes and offered no additional formal directions on the previewed projects.
