What this means
The Planning Commission voted to send a recommendation to City Council to change Cesar Chavez Boulevard back to its original names along the corridor. If Council approves the change, property addresses and directional designations will not change and affected property owners and tenants will be notified by mail. A separate proposal to subdivide about 26.25 acres into 138 single‑family lots was not decided and was continued to May 6, 2026 for further review.
