Decision

The ordinance says the City Council approved the Planned Development Permit as depicted in Exhibit C, subject to Conditions of Approval attached to Resolution No. 2026-40 as Exhibit D.

The April 1, 2026 City Council minutes list Ordinance No. 2026-05 as a second-reading-and-adoption consent item. The minutes state that the ordinance had been approved on March 4, 2026 with a 5/0 vote.

Project Context

The ordinance says Darshan Patel filed a land-use development application on May 15, 2024. It describes the application as a request for a Planned Development Permit and Design Review Permit with Density Bonus Request to facilitate conversion of an existing office building into 32 residential dwelling units.

The ordinance describes the project site as a 0.67 gross acre site at 332 S. Juniper Street, APN 229-472-11. This page does not publish map metadata, parcel boundaries, private-property access guidance, current construction conditions, or current occupancy.

Prior Review

The ordinance says the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 10, 2026 and adopted Resolution No. 2026-02 recommending that the City Council approve the project's Planned Development Permit and corresponding entitlements as detailed in the March 4, 2026 City Council staff report.

This page does not summarize the staff report, Planning Commission record, Resolution No. 2026-40, conditions of approval, or any later permitting record.

The April 1 minutes verify the recorded consent-item context for Ordinance No. 2026-05. They do not provide the full ordinance text, resolution text, condition text, current entitlement status, current construction status, occupancy, condition compliance, or later project status.

Environmental Review Statement

The ordinance says the City Council determined the project categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 for In-Fill Development Projects.

That statement is recorded here only as ordinance text. This page does not provide CEQA analysis, legal interpretation, entitlement advice, appeal guidance, or litigation status.

Source Notes

The source for this page is the official Ordinance No. 2026-05 PDF linked from the City Council Adopted Ordinances page and retrieved on May 24, 2026. The source can support ordinance-stated decision context, but it should not be treated as a current project-status source or as a complete municipal-code record.

The April 1, 2026 City Council minutes add minutes-recorded consent-item context for Ordinance No. 2026-05. They should not be used as a substitute for Resolution No. 2026-40, the staff report, conditions of approval, or later project records.

Check approved minutes, Resolution No. 2026-40, the March 4, 2026 staff report, planning records, permit records, building records, municipal-code records, and later official updates before relying on current status, conditions, construction, occupancy, current law, codification status, or legal interpretation.
