The Willows Planning Commission approved its consent calendar at the start of the Dec. 2 meeting, including amended minutes that were updated to show motioners, seconders and vote totals for a previously discussed retail cannabis zoning item.

During the discussion and staff reports, commissioners raised a long‑stalled manufactured‑home development on Lassen Street. Joe Bentancourt, Community Development Services Director, said plans had been approved but the owner had not completed required encroachment filings and building‑permit follow‑through. Bentancourt said staff contacted the owner, received intermittent responses, and will pursue code‑enforcement action if progress is not made; he noted that the conditional‑use permit and building permits may have expired and that any reactivation would require the applicant to return to the commission and likely face timelines and conditions to prevent future delays.

Bentancourt also announced civic outreach and infrastructure events: the city is accepting applications to fill upcoming planning‑commission seats (application deadline Dec. 29 at 5 p.m.), is hosting a public charrette on the municipal code (Title 18) at the ARC Center and will hold a ribbon cutting for completed wastewater lift‑station upgrades — a bond‑funded program the director described as a roughly $1.7 million project that upgraded five lift stations and added SCADA monitoring.

The meeting concluded with no additional formal actions recorded.
