1501 Del Norte Street Residential Project

The 1501 Del Norte Street Residential Project in West Covina, California, is a large-scale residential development comprising 232 new homes, including 34 two-story single-family detached units and 198 three-story attached townhomes, to be constructed on a 13.62-acre site. The project will involve the demolition of existing structures, site preparation, grading, and construction activities scheduled to occur between January 2026 and January 2028, with work conducted Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in accordance with local municipal codes. The development will dedicate a 1.45-acre existing baseball field to the City and extend West Del Norte Street by 0.37 acres to connect with North Sunset Avenue. Single-family homes will feature two-car side-by-side garages, private yards, and maximum roof heights of 24 feet 6 inches, while townhomes will include private open space totaling approximately 27,467 square feet, three-story designs up to 37 feet 10 inches in height, and two-car garages. A total of 530 parking spaces—464 enclosed and 66 uncovered—will be distributed throughout the community to accommodate residents and guests. The project is subject to extensive environmental regulatory compliance, including adherence to California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act (SB 375), the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), and the Clean Air Act. Environmental mitigation measures are required for air quality, emissions, and hazardous materials management, with compliance monitored through air modeling standards such as AERMOD and AERMET. Prior to demolition, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and asbestos abatement by certified professionals must be completed. All earthwork must meet ASTM D1557 compaction standards, achieving at least 90% of maximum dry density, with fill layers limited to 8 inches in loose thickness. Acceptance of critical work such as grading, subdrain installation, and backfilling is governed by a geotechnical consultant acting on behalf of the City of West Covina. The site, identified by APN 8458-020-901, lies at the intersection of North Nora Avenue and North Sunset Avenue, and all construction activities must occur within the project boundaries.
