Agoura Hills Planning Commission elects Reinhart as chair, Sharon as vice chair; consent calendar adopted
Summary
The Agoura Hills Planning Commission unanimously elected Vice Chair Reinhart as chair and Commissioner Sharon as vice chair for 2026, adopted the consent calendar and heard public comments urging denial of a proposed senior facility and suggesting a park for the site.
Agoura Hills — At its Jan. 15 meeting, the Agoura Hills Planning Commission unanimously elected Vice Chair Reinhart to serve as chair and Commissioner Sharon to serve as vice chair for 2026, approved the night’s agenda and adopted the consent calendar by 5-0 votes.
Chair Roth opened the meeting and the commission approved the agenda on a motion from Commissioner Stein, seconded by Commissioner Sharon. The roll call vote was recorded as five ayes and no dissent.
The commission then moved into the consent calendar. Vice Chair Reinhart moved to adopt the consent calendar, seconded by Commissioner Sharon; the clerk recorded a unanimous 5-0 vote in favor.
Two members of the public spoke on consent item 2. David Friedman, who identified his address as 28407 Renee Drive, said he spoke at a prior meeting opposed to the proposed senior facility and that he was “glad to hear that you had deliberated and, decided to deny the applicant.” Friedman said the property would be better used as “a public park” if the city had funds to purchase it.
Terry Ahern spoke afterward and praised the commission’s recent deliberations and leadership, thanking members for listening to community feedback. Ahern said roughly 50 members he referenced were pleased with the commission’s approach and added, “You listened to us, and you thought it through.”
On the meeting’s principal agenda item, Chair Roth nominated Vice Chair Reinhardt to serve as commission chair for 2026; Commissioner Stein seconded the nomination. The clerk’s roll-call vote recorded five ayes and the commission approved the nomination.
New Chair Reinhart then called for nominations for vice chair, nominated Commissioner Sharon and, after a second from Commissioner Stein, the commission approved Sharon as vice chair by the same 5-0 tally. Staff and commissioners offered congratulations to the new leadership and thanked former Chair Roth for the prior year of service.
The commission adjourned and announced its next regular meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026, in the council chambers of the Agoura Hills Civic Center at 3001 Lady Face Court.
