Planning commission extends Rolling Hills Road apartment project two years
Paso Robles Daily News
October 15, 2026
Big news for the north side of town: the Paso Robles Planning Commission voted 6-1 Tuesday to give the Rolling Hills Road apartment project a two-year extension, so those plans aren't dead in the water just yet. If you've driven that stretch lately, you know exactly where this is headed — and you've probably got opinions about traffic, water, and what "growth" should look like here.
The same meeting brought a 4-H livestock permit approval (love that our ag roots stay front and center) and a spaceport update, which is about as Paso Robles as it gets — barns and rockets in the same agenda. The Paso Robles Daily News had the full rundown.
Why it matters: two years is a long runway, and neighbors along Rolling Hills Road will want to stay tuned as this one moves through the pipeline. Local decisions like this shape our town for decades.

Paso RoblesPaso Robles High School approved for county’s first JROTC program
Big news for Bearcat families: Paso Robles High School just got the green light from the U.S. Army to launch the county's first JROTC program. That's a first for all of SLO County, and it means local students won't have to look elsewhere for leadership training, drill team, and that sense of belonging that comes with the corps. The school board also heard updates on the Culinary Academy café and the Chiado scholarship fund — signs that PRHS keeps widening the paths available to our kids, whether they're headed to a kitchen, a college, or a career. As the Paso Robles Daily News reported, this approval is the start of a process, so expect details on sign-ups and staffing to roll out over the coming months. If you've got a Bearcat at home, keep an eye on school announcements. It's a proud day for Paso Robles — and another reason this town feels like a place where kids can grow into their next chapter.
Paso RoblesObituary of Adolfo Holguin Pichardo, 69, of Paso Robles
Some news just stops you in your tracks, and this is one of them. Adolfo Holguin Pichardo, 69, of Paso Robles, passed away on Oct. 7 — and our hearts go out to his family and everyone here in town who knew him. He was born in Berrendos, Zacatecas, back in 1956, and made his way to Paso Robles, where he built a life and became part of the fabric of our community. That journey — from a small town in Mexico to the Central Coast — is one so many of our neighbors know firsthand, and it's what makes stories like Adolfo's worth pausing for. The Paso Robles Daily News shared his obituary this week. Take a moment to read it, and if you knew him, maybe share a memory with his family. In a town like ours, that's how we honor our own.

The Paso Robles Daily News is opening up its opinion section and inviting readers to send in letters to the editor — and honestly, that's an invitation worth taking. Our town has plenty to talk about these days: growth on the north side, water, traffic on Spring Street, what downtown should look like in ten years. Council meetings only give you three minutes at the mic, but a letter lets you lay out your whole argument, calmly and on the record. You don't need to be a polished writer. You just need to care about this place. So if something's been bugging you — or something's going right and nobody's noticed — write it down and send it in. Local papers run on letters from neighbors like us.
