The Elk Grove Planning Commission held a regular meeting on August 20, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers. The sole action item was a public hearing on a Major Design Review Amendment (PLNG26-028) for the previously approved Elk Grove Subaru dealership. The amendment updated the building's exterior elevations to reflect Subaru's new design and branding, with no changes to the site plan, footprint, or parking. The Commission unanimously approved the amendment after finding that no further environmental review was required under CEQA.
