City Council meetings will continue to be live-streamed on Channel 17, the City's website, and the City's Facebook page. 

A public hearing will be held to consider a Zoning Text Amendment to add vehicle-related uses such as Vehicle Sales, Rentals, and Minor Repair and Maintenance to the Administrative Office (CO) zone. Other uses added in the amendment include Tasting Room, General Retail, and Restaurant for both sit-down and fast food uses to the zone as well. These uses are all proposed to be permitted uses. Additional uses of Fuel and Service Stations, Convenience Markets, and Vehicle Washing would be allowed only with a Conditional Use Permit that requires a separate application process. While the Administrative Office zoning is found throughout the City, all of these uses would only be allowed on a site that is an acre or larger. There are three parcels in the City at this time that are zoned Administrative Office (CO) and are larger than one acre: APN’s 728-310-17, 728-310-19, and 817-050-41. Please view a map of all Administrative Office (CO) zoned land.

A public hearing will be held regarding the Half-Dividend (Crosswinds) Residential Development project and will include consideration of an Environmental Impact Report and Design Review and Vesting Tentative Map application for a 269-unit residential development consisting of 56 court-yard style single-family homes, 64 duets, and 149 townhome-style condominiums located on the southwest intersection of Half Road and Mission View Drive.

This project is an SB330 application and conforms to the City’s Residential Development Design and Development Standards, which are the City’s “Objective” design standards and have been developed consistent with the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan. For more information on the project and to view elevations, please view the Crosswinds webpage.
