Commission discusses proposed Derrick/Belmont gas station; resident raises fire, trash and unhoused-person concerns on Bass Avenue
Summary
During its April 22, 2025 meeting the commission discussed a proposed gas station at Derrick and Belmont and heard Diana Oliva express concerns about a Bass Avenue property — including fire risk, trash and a rise in unhoused individuals; staff said a tentative parcel map application will be returned for future consideration.
City Planner Jeff O'Neal told the Planning Commission that staff will return to a future meeting with an application for a tentative parcel map. Commissioners also discussed a proposed gas station at the corner of Derrick Avenue and Belmont Avenue; the discussion involved commissioners and staff but produced no motions or votes.
During the commissioners' reports and the public-comment portion of the meeting, resident Diana Oliva asked whether the City is responsible for maintaining a property on Bass Avenue and said she was concerned about fire risks, trash and debris and an increase of unhoused individuals at the site. Commissioners and staff discussed possible steps that could be taken to address Oliva's concerns; the record does not show any formal direction, enforcement action or timeline was adopted.
No formal decisions were recorded on the gas station proposal or on follow-up action for the Bass Avenue property at this meeting. Staff indicated the parcel map application will be agendized for a future meeting when materials are ready.
