El Monte Planning Commission reviews self-storage project, recreation center; City Council to meet July 8
The El Monte Planning Commission on June 23 considered a proposed 133,657-square-foot self-storage building and a new indoor recreation center, according to the meeting agenda. Minutes revealing the commission's decisions have not yet been published.
Planning Commission agenda
The commission’s agenda included a conditional use permit for a four-story self-storage facility at 4301 Temple City Boulevard, a project spanning properties in El Monte and Temple City. A related environmental document, a mitigated negative declaration, proposed measures to address geologic, hazard, and tribal cultural resource impacts. A separate item sought a conditional use permit, design review, and a minor variance for a 9,024-square-foot indoor recreation center at 9960 Lower Azusa Road. The project would require demolition of an existing 720-square-foot commercial building on the site. The commission also had on its agenda approval of minutes from its May 12, 2026 meeting.
