Greetings!
The days are starting to get longer and warmer, a sign that spring is almost here! For many, spring is a time that represents new beginnings and growth. This is certainly true for our City. We are embarking on a new beginning as we update our General Plan and make decisions about how we envision the future of American Canyon. We are also growing as a community. Lots of exciting new developments are underway, including Canyon Estates and Watson Ranch.
Community involvement is a critical part of our City’s growth process. I encourage all our residents to sign up for email updates from the City by clicking here and to participate in Planning Commission and City Council meetings. If you are unable to attend a meeting, you can still submit written comments through the City’s eComment feature here.
We hope you will join us for our upcoming 2022 State of the City on Wednesday, February 23rd, at 6:30 pm. This year's event will be held virtually and broadcast via YouTube. We have an exciting lineup of presenters to update the community on what to expect living, working, and playing in American Canyon in 2022.
A General Plan Housing Element workshop will be held during the Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, February 24th at 6:30 PM. The full meeting agenda is available here.
Please stay safe, be kind to one another.
Brent Cooper, AICP
Community Development Director

Planning Commission
February 24, 2022 - 6:30 PM
Agenda (Available 72 Hours Prior to Meeting)
We want to highlight the unsung heroes of our Planning Commission. The Planning Commission is a very important panel of 5 American Canyon residents appointed by the City Council. These residents volunteer their time as a voice for our residents to maintain the quality of new development in our City. The Planning Commission conducts public hearings on proposed development plans, conditional use permits, subdivision maps, proposed changes to the Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map, the General Plan, environmental review documents, development agreements, and more.
Each year, the Planning Commission selects a new Chair and Vice-Chair. This year, Commissioner Crystal Mallare is the Planning Commission Chair, and Commissioner Tammy Wong is the Vice-Chair. Since January 2021, Commissioner Tyrone Navarro served as the Chair, and Crystal Mallare served as Vice-Chair with distinction. Congratulations to our new Planning Commission appointees and thank you to all our Commissioners for your valuable service to our Community!
The Planning Commission typically meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 pm. Meetings are located at City Hall, 4381 Broadway, Suite 201, American Canyon, CA 94503. Public participation is invited. If you would like additional information, please email Nicolle Jones, Administrative Technician, Community Development Department, or call (707) 647-4348.

Additional Landscape at the PG&E Substation
On Thursday, February 24, the Planning Commission will review a proposed landscape plan at the PG&E substation at American Canyon Road and Highway 29. The landscape plan is a special arrangement to transfer required landscaping at a new PG&E Regional Center near the Napa Airport to the substation where it is more needed.
The landscape plan provides 12,087 square feet of new landscaping. The landscaping will be irrigated with recycled water and contains shrubs and groundcover. This plan will provide six (6) 60-inch boxes of Deodar Cedar trees, three (3) 60-inch boxes of Pepper Trees, and four (4) 24-inch boxes of Crape Myrtle trees. The Crape Myrtle trees are deciduous, but the Deodar Cedar and Pepper Trees are evergreens. The new landscaping will help screen and beautify this important corner of American Canyon!
