San Gabriel Council to weigh ADU rules, park grant, condominium project this week
San Gabriel's City Council is set to consider several significant items this week, including new ordinances to comply with state housing laws, a $500,000 grant for park renovations, and approval of a 13-unit condominium project. Meanwhile, last week the Design Review Commission reviewed four proposed new homes, though official minutes are not yet available.
Recent Meeting: Design Review Commission (June 22)
The Design Review Commission held public hearings on four applications for new single-family residences. The projects, each requiring site plan review, are located at:
- 508 Gerona Avenue: a new two-story residence with existing detached garage
- 822 South California Street: a new two-story residence, detached three-car garage, and an accessory dwelling unit
- 311 North Del Mar Avenue: a new one-story residence with detached two-car garage
- 143 Alabama Street: a new one-story residence with attached two-car garage
All projects were listed as exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. As of this writing, the meeting minutes have not been published, so no vote tallies or final decisions are available.
Upcoming: Community Services Commission (July 6)
The Community Services Commission will meet Monday to receive updates on after-school and middle school sports programs and a new bike event. Members will also discuss and continue developing the commission's workplan, and are scheduled to approve the minutes from the June 1, 2026 meeting.
Upcoming: City Council (July 7)
The City Council will hold a second reading and vote on Ordinances No. 728 and 729, which update the municipal code for urban dwelling units, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and junior ADUs to comply with recent state laws.
Other items on the agenda include:
- Accepting a $500,000 grant from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District for planning and design of renovations to Smith Park.
