Planning Commission — June 25, 2026
Neighbors fought a 15-bed senior care home at 631 Benjamins Road, arguing the SB 9 lot split behind it was fraudulent and that traffic and parking on the narrow street can't handle it. The commission sided with staff and let the approval stand. An appeal to the city clerk is still possible within 10 days.
