Pittsburg Planning Commission — September 22, 2026
Pittsburg Planning Commission meeting ·
An independent Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce summary of the City of Pittsburg's agenda — a Chamber service, not a City publication.
The Pittsburg Planning Commission's September 22, 2026 agenda includes three substantive land-use items. The Commission will review a General Plan consistency determination for a small right-of-way vacation near the San Marco Development Plan Area, consider a Use Permit for a new autobody business in an Industrial Park district, and receive a Zoning Administrator report on delegated design review authority. All three items bear on commercial development and permitting relevant to member businesses.
Avila Road Right-of-Way Vacation – General Plan Consistency
ZoningThe Commission is asked to determine whether the proposed vacation of an 828-square-foot portion of public right-of-way between Avila Road and the future West Leland Road extension, along the western edge of the San Marco Development Plan Area, is consistent with the City's General Plan under Government Code Section 65402. The determination is not a CEQA project.
Why it matters: The right-of-way vacation is tied to the San Marco Development Plan Area and the future West Leland Road extension, affecting infrastructure and development in that area.
What's being decided: Make a recommendation on General Plan consistency for the proposed street vacation.
Diamond Auto Body Use Permit, AP-26-0086
PermittingApplicant Luis Hernandez Rodriguez requests a Use Permit to establish an autobody business in a 2,200-square-foot space (Suite E) within an existing 9,440-square-foot commercial warehouse at 660 Garcia Avenue, in the IP (Industrial Park) District. Proposed operations include body and fender work, painting, detailing, minor repair to radiators, AC condensers and lighting systems, and onsite welding. The project is categorically exempt from CEQA as an existing facility.
Why it matters: The approval affects a new business establishing operations in an existing industrial-park warehouse and sets terms for autobody use at the site.
What's being decided: Approve or deny the Use Permit.
Notice of Intent to Exercise Delegated Design Review Authority
DevelopmentThe Zoning Administrator submits one Notice of Intent to Exercise Delegated Design Review Authority.
Why it matters: Delegated design review authority determines how design review for a development project is handled, which affects the applicant and the review timeline.
What's being decided: Receive the report.
