The Planning Commission convened on August 6, 2026, with Chair Oscar O'Con absent and Vice Chair Varinder Singh presiding. The meeting included a consent calendar, general public comment, and a public hearing on a proposed moratorium on new personal storage facilities. Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend the moratorium to the City Council. Several residents spoke during public comment urging protection of rural Elk Grove, though their comments were not tied to an agendized item.
