Colton Planning Commission to weigh apartment project, zoning changes after canceled meeting

No decisions were made by Colton's Planning Commission last week because its July 28 meeting was canceled and rescheduled to August 11. The Library Board of Trustees did meet on July 28, but minutes have not yet been published. The upcoming Planning Commission meeting will consider a 252-unit apartment project and two zoning ordinance changes.

Recent meetings

The Planning Commission's July 28 meeting was canceled, and all agenda items were continued to the next meeting on August 11 at 5:30 p.m. in the Colton Council Chamber. The original agenda included three items: an ordinance to add Section 18.46.080 to the Colton Municipal Code for amortization of noxious nonconforming uses (DAP26-0011); a proposal by Greystar for 252 new residential units at 1020 S. Mount Vernon Avenue, including a Conditional Use Permit and a four-story building (DAP25-0046); and a zoning text amendment (DAP26-0019) to modify industrial and residential zoning standards citywide. Staff had recommended approval for the two zoning items and continuation of the apartment project to August 11.

The Library Board of Trustees met on July 28. The agenda included discussion and action on a Library Board of Trustee City Ordinance and a status report on the Bertha Hartley Memorial Fund. No minutes or outcomes are available yet.

Coming up

Utilities Commission – Monday, August 10 (today)

The commission will hear informational items only, including draft Electric Rules and Regulations (table of contents, general provisions, Rule 1 and Rule 2), a presentation on the Vespers Solar and BESS project, and a discussion on commercial vehicle charging. The agenda also includes approval of minutes from prior meetings. No business items or public hearings are scheduled.

Planning Commission – Tuesday, August 11

The commission will hold public hearings on three items:

• A request to continue review of the Greystar Apartments project (DAP25-0046) to August 25, 2026. The project proposes 252 units at 38.8 units per acre in a four-story building on 6.5 acres at 1020 S. Mount Vernon Avenue.
• A zoning text amendment (DAP26-0019) affecting industrial zones, parking, fence heights, warehouse logistics, and residential zones.

The commission will also consider approving draft minutes from its July 14 meeting.

Residents interested in the apartment project or the citywide zoning changes may attend the August 11 meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the Colton Council Chamber.

Colton Planning Commission meeting canceled; 252-unit apartment proposal and zoning changes moved to August 11

The Colton Planning Commission's regularly scheduled July 28 meeting was canceled, pushing all agenda items — including a proposed 252-unit apartment complex at 1020 S. Mount Vernon Avenue — to August 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Colton Council Chamber.

No votes or decisions were recorded from the July 28 session because it did not take place. The agenda, however, outlines what commissioners will take up when they reconvene.

Planning Commission items continued to August 11

Three items were set for the July 28 agenda and will carry over:

• **Greystar Apartments (DAP25-0046):** A proposal to build 252 new residential units at 1020 S. Mount Vernon Avenue. The project includes a Conditional Use Permit and a four-story building. Staff recommended continuation of this item to August 11, 2026.
• **Amortization Ordinance (DAP26-0011):** Would add Section 18.46.080 to the Colton Municipal Code to establish procedures for phasing out certain noxious nonconforming uses. Staff recommended approval.
• **AB 98 Plus zoning text amendment (DAP26-0019):** Would modify industrial and residential zoning standards citywide. Staff recommended approval.

Because the meeting was canceled, no action was taken on any of these items. The staff recommendations reflect what city staff proposed, not what the commission decided.

Library Board of Trustees

The Library Board of Trustees was scheduled to meet July 28 to review library and community services reports. The agenda listed two items:

• Discussion and action on a Library Board of Trustee City Ordinance.
• A status report on the Bertha Hartley Memorial Fund.

Minutes from this meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes — including whether the board took action on the ordinance — are not available.

Recreation & Parks Commission

The Recreation & Parks Commission met July 22, 2026. The available document is a meeting agenda and notice; it does not record outcomes, votes, or decisions from the session. No substantive actions are documented in the text.

Coming up

The continued Planning Commission meeting is set for August 11, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Colton Council Chamber. That session will take up the Greystar Apartments proposal, the Amortization Ordinance, and the AB 98 Plus zoning text amendment.

No other upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days.

Colton Planning Commission considers new home at 1626 Walter Court; no upcoming meetings scheduled

Colton’s Planning Commission last week weighed a proposal to build a 2,409-square-foot two-story home on a 3-acre lot in the Reche Canyon area. The commission also held a training workshop on the Subdivision Map Act. Minutes from the June 23 meeting have not yet been published, so the outcome of the vote is not yet known.

Planning Commission (June 23)

The commission’s agenda included an architectural and site plan review for a new single-family home at 1626 Walter Court. The property is zoned Estate Density within the Reche Canyon Specific Plan. Staff recommended approval via Resolution R-09-26.

Because the meeting minutes have not been released, it is not possible to report whether the commission voted to approve, deny, or continue the item. The agenda also listed a training workshop on the Subdivision Map Act, a state law governing the division of land into parcels.

No other items were on the commission’s agenda for that date.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings of the Colton City Council, Planning Commission, or other city bodies are publicly listed for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city’s official meeting calendar for any late-posted agendas.
