The September 23, 2026 Lodi Planning Commission Regular Meeting is a short, two-hearing sitting. Both items are quasi-judicial and require ex parte disclosures under Resolution No. 2006-31. Neither reopens the underlying environmental analysis: staff relies on categorical exemptions and a Section 15162 finding on the 2025 Maverik Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration.

Item 4a is a Tentative Parcel Map to split one lot into two at 401 North Ham Lane in an RMD (Residential Medium Density) infill setting on 10,700 square feet. Staff argues the site is already two legal lots dating to a 1957 conveyance and this action only re-divides the western legal lot. Item 4b is a Use Permit authorizing a Type 21 off-sale ABC license (beer, wine, and distilled spirits) at a proposed Maverik convenience store and gas station at 4872 East Kettleman Lane — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at a freeway-adjacent parcel that was annexed into the City by LAFCO on August 26, 2026. Because ABC has classified the entire City as overconcentrated with alcohol licenses, the Commission must also make a Public Convenience or Necessity (PCN) finding.

A short agenda with two public hearings, both quasi-judicial and both requiring ex parte disclosure under Resolution No. 2006-31, plus Government Code §84308 campaign-contribution disclosure, since both items are discretionary land use permits.

Item 4a splits a City-origin parcel on South Stockton Street so each phase of the 110-unit Lodi Commons at Salas Park affordable senior housing project gets its own building site. Item 4b would let Rogers Media install three programmable LED signs on City land — a program whose staff justification is City revenue that the draft Development Agreement never actually quantifies.

The Lodi Planning Commission meets Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Carnegie Forum, with Zoom and YouTube participation available and written comment accepted at pccomments@lodi.gov until 3:00 p.m. that day. The agenda is short but consequential: two linked public hearings that together set up Lodi’s next major westward expansion — a Phase 4 Development Code overhaul governing annexation, and the 95.3-acre Westside “F” Annexation itself.

This is the Commission’s first meeting since June 10, 2026. June minutes are up for approval. Staff had previously indicated that this meeting would cover an annexation, related code amendments, a car wash, and electronic signs on city property. The car wash and electronic sign items do not appear on the posted agenda.

The June 10, 2026 Regular Planning Commission meeting carries a light agenda anchored by a single public hearing — a Tentative Parcel Map (PL2026-005) to split one Downtown Mixed Use parcel at 116 West Lockeford Street into two lots. The packet also bundles two sets of prior minutes for approval (May 13 and May 27, 2026), the latter of which advanced a significant rewrite of the City's mobile food vending rules under Municipal Code Chapter 9.18, including removal of the long-standing 25-vendor cap.

Heads-up on scheduling: the June 24 and July 8, 2026 Planning Commission meetings are cancelled, and a special City Council meeting on annexations was set for June 9, 2026 at 6 p.m.

The Lodi Planning Commission meets Wednesday, May 27 with a single, consequential public hearing: a top-to-bottom rewrite of Lodi Municipal Code Chapter 9.18, the city's mobile food vending ordinance. Staff is asking commissioners to recommend that City Council eliminate the population-based cap on food trucks (currently roughly 25 citywide), ban mobile food vendors west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in the historic downtown core, and add new noise, residential-interface, and operational standards. The packet also asks the Commission to approve the May 13 minutes, which document a unanimous 6–0 recommendation to enter into a Development Agreement with Rogers Media for three city-property electronic message signs.

The Lodi Planning Commission convenes on May 13, 2026 for a single-topic public hearing: a recommendation to the City Council to adopt the Downtown Specific Plan (DTSP) pursuant to California Government Code §65450 et seq. The DTSP is a long-range policy and implementation framework covering the area from Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street, and from Pleasant Avenue to Washington Street — including the historic School Street core and the expanded Downtown Mixed Use zone along Main Street east of the Union Pacific Railroad. Environmental review relies on an Addendum to the 2025 Focused General Plan Update SEIR. Staff recommends approval of Resolution P.C. 26-__ forwarding the plan to the City Council.

The Lodi Planning Commission meets with two public hearings on the agenda: a Use Permit for Five Window Beer Co. to add a Type 47 ABC license allowing distilled spirits service at their downtown brewery, and a Development Agreement with Rogers Media Company to install three electronic message signs on City-owned properties at South Hutchins Street and West Kettleman Lane. Both items carry staff recommendations for approval. The meeting also includes approval of February 25, 2026 minutes and standard reporting items.

The City of Lodi Planning Commission convenes for a regular meeting with one public hearing item: a Use Permit application (PL2025-020) by Lodi Christian Life to establish a church at 631 East Oak Street in the Industrial (M) zone. Staff recommends approval.

The Lodi Planning Commission will hold a regular public meeting to consider one primary public hearing item and conduct standard commission business. The central action item is a request for a Use Permit and related approvals to allow beer and wine service at an expanded Guantonio’s restaurant location at 606 West Lockeford Street.
