Beaumont Planning Commission approves permit for downtown veterinary hospital
Summary
The Planning Commission unanimously approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 2026-0009 on June 24, 2026, allowing TrueVet Animal Hospital to occupy a 2,400 sq ft building at 320 East 6th Street; staff cited a CEQA categorical exemption and no public opposition was recorded.
The Beaumont Planning Commission on June 24, 2026, approved Conditional Use Permit CUP 2026-0009 to allow TrueVet Animal Hospital to operate at 320 East 6th Street, voting unanimously (5–0).
Planning staff member Kylie Preciado told the commission, “The item before you tonight is a request to approve conditional use permit CUP 2026-0009 for the establishment of TrueVet Animal Hospital located at 320 East 6th Street.” Preciado said the application was submitted May 14, 2026, by Beaumont Pet Care and proposed to reuse an existing approximately 2,400-square-foot building previously configured as a veterinary hospital.
Staff recommended the commission find the project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301 (existing facilities), saying no interior or exterior expansions are proposed and there was no substantial evidence of significant impacts to traffic, air quality, noise, or water quality. Preciado also noted the applicant does not plan to provide 24/7 boarding or overnight stays.
On operational details, staff said the site would offer six on-site parking spaces (including one ADA space) and seven on-street spaces along the property’s 6th Street frontage. The proposed hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with the business closed on Sundays.
A commissioner characterized the proposal as appropriate for the location, saying, “It seems like a good use for that property,” and commissioners generally voiced support for reestablishing a clinic in a building already configured for veterinary services.
The commission moved to approve the CUP; a roll-call vote was recorded as Commissioner Southerd — Yes; Commissioner Cooley — Yes; Commissioner Koblen — Yes; Vice Chair Cueva — Yay; Chairman Smith — Yes. Chair Smith congratulated the applicant and wished them luck.
Staff advised that the deadline to appeal the commission’s decision is July 9, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., and that, if approved, staff will prepare a notice of exemption for filing with the Riverside County Clerk-Recorder. The commission adjourned the meeting at 6:10 p.m.; the next regular meeting is scheduled for July 8, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.
