Second-story home addition at 211 Montego Drive
A family is expanding two undersized bedrooms and adding a bathroom with a 187-square-foot second-story addition pushed forward over the garage. Some neighbors sent emails of concern, mostly tied to a separate backyard pool project; the commission found the addition compatible with the home and neighborhood.

Hercules is kicking off its first comprehensive General Plan update since 1998 — the blueprint for how the city grows. An ~11-member advisory committee with citizen and commission reps will guide it, and the commission is choosing its voice on that body.
