Pittsburg Planning Commission — October 27, 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 meets October 27, 2026 with a light agenda. The key item for the business community is a 24-month time-extension request for the LMK Petro project — a previously approved gas station, car wash, and convenience store at 1625 Buchanan Road. The commission will also note two delegated design review actions and approve prior meeting minutes.
LMK Petro Time-Extension (AP-16-1189EXT)
DevelopmentA 24-month time-extension request for a previously approved Use Permit and Design Review for a gasoline sales and service station with an automated car wash and convenience store on a 5-acre parcel at 1625 Buchanan Road. The original approvals included a General Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Community Commercial and a rezoning from RS-6 to Community Commercial, supported by a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA.
Why it matters: The project would add commercial fuel, car wash, and convenience retail services on Buchanan Road, affecting nearby businesses, commuters, and the surrounding commercial corridor. An extension would keep the approved project viable without new entitlement review.
What's being decided: Approve or deny the 24-month time-extension of the existing approvals.
Notice of Intent to Exercise Delegated Design Review Authority
Design ReviewThe Zoning Administrator submits two Notices of Intent to Exercise Delegated Design Review Authority.
Why it matters: Delegated design review determines the appearance and site standards of development projects; these notices inform the commission of items being handled administratively rather than at a public hearing.
What's being decided: Receive and note the Zoning Administrator's reports; no formal action unless the commission elects to exercise review.
