Salon permit dispute at 422 S. Murphy Avenue
A 20-year Sunnyvale stylist appealed the permit granted to a competing appointment-only hair consultation business in the same 1942 office building, saying she was told four times the space couldn't be permitted. The commission upheld the permit, saying competition isn't a land-use consideration and the applicant followed the process.
Neighborhood-Serving Retail Support (OCM 2026-1)
Sunnyvale ranks low in per-capita sales tax revenue compared with neighboring cities, and commissioners want the Council to fund a retail support program. The recommendation goes to the Council on June 2.
Food Truck Displacement at 208 S. Fair Oaks Avenue
A resident asked the commission to help save Tacos el Noa Noa, a food truck being forced out after five years due to parking requirements. Staff agreed to connect the owner with the right contact.
