Hemet’s planning commission takes up a rewrite of the city’s warehouse rules Tuesday night. Same evening, staff is asking commissioners to turn down a request to sell hard liquor at the Unocal 76 on Sanderson.
That is the busiest agenda in the valley this week. San Jacinto’s council and the county Board of Supervisors also meet Tuesday. Below is what each body has posted as of Monday morning, Oct. 5. Where a packet is not up, we say so.

Hemet Planning Commission, 6 p.m.
Council Chambers, 450 E. Latham Ave. The city posted a revised agenda Oct. 3 with five items.
- Public hearing, Item 8.A, Zoning Ordinance Amendment 26-005. Rewrites the city’s manufacturing-zone rules and adds a new section for logistics, e-commerce and warehouse uses in the B-P, M-1 and M-2 zones. It sets truck, siting and operating standards and a tiered approval process. Tier 3 starts at 250,000 square feet. The city says the change carries out state law AB 98 and SB 415. The commission only recommends; the City Council decides. Exhibits in the packet refer to an Oct. 13 council hearing, but no council agenda for that date has been posted.
- Continued hearing, Item 7.A, CUP 26-004. Just 4 Fun LLC wants to move the Unocal 76 at 1111 S. Sanderson Ave. from a beer-and-wine license to one that adds distilled spirits. Staff recommends denial. The commission’s decision is final unless it is appealed to the council within 10 days.
- Continued hearing, Item 7.B, Extension of Time 24-006. FB Montego Bay HMT LLC asks for more time on a 96-unit, three-story apartment project on 4.68 acres north of Sanderson and Devonshire avenues, first approved in October 2022. Staff recommends a three-year extension. The staff narrative also refers to a two-year request; the recommendation says three.
- Item 6.A. A hearing on naming the community garden at 143 S. Juanita St. the Linda Krupa Community Garden, after the mayor. The council has final say.
