Chowchilla Planning Commission recommends City Council approve General Plan and zoning amendments and pre‑zoning for annexation
Summary
At its April 15 meeting the Chowchilla Planning Commission voted to recommend City Council approve General Plan Amendment 25‑0806, Zoning Ordinance Amendment 25‑0805 and pre‑zoning for a proposed annexation; all motions passed by voice vote with Commissioner Michael Wallen recorded as absent.
The Chowchilla Planning Commission on April 15 voted to recommend that the City Council approve three planning actions: General Plan Amendment 25‑0806, Zoning Ordinance Amendment 25‑0805 and pre‑zoning for a proposed annexation.
Vice Chair Gil Hale moved each recommendation during the public‑hearing portion of the meeting. The minutes record that each motion passed by voice vote and that Commissioner Michael Wallen was recorded as absent for the voice votes. Planning Resolution #26‑03 (General Plan), Planning Resolution #26‑05 (zoning amendment) and Planning Resolution #26‑04 (pre‑zoning/annexation) were each adopted by the commission for transmittal to the City Council.
The public hearing on the annexation‑related pre‑zoning was opened at 5:12 p.m. and closed at 5:24 p.m.; the minutes note that Community & Economic Development Director Denise Munoz spoke during the hearing but do not include a verbatim transcript of her remarks. The record does not show public commenters or detailed staff presentations in the minutes beyond that notation.
Earlier in the meeting the commission approved the March 18, 2026 consent calendar; Chair Cheryl Salter said, “All in favor say ‘Aye.’ The ayes have it to Approve the Consent Calendar.” That vote also was recorded with Commissioner Wallen absent.
The commission’s recommendations are advisory; final action on the General Plan amendment, zoning amendment and the proposed annexation will be taken by the Chowchilla City Council at a later meeting. The commission scheduled its next regular meeting for May 20, 2026 and adjourned at 5:28 p.m.
