Development Review Project No. DRP24-0093 and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP24-0008 - ARCO Gas

The City of Whittier is reviewing a proposal to expand an existing ARCO Gas convenience store and gas station, which includes a 426 square-foot addition to the current convenience market and the construction of two new gas pump canopies alongside other site improvements. Alongside this physical expansion, a conditional use permit is being sought to authorize the sale of alcoholic beverages under a Type 21 Off-Sale General license with extended operating hours, marking a significant change in the property’s use and customer offerings. The development is subject to approval under local land use regulations, requiring compliance with zoning, safety, traffic, and environmental standards to ensure the expansion aligns with community planning goals. The project is officially documented under Development Review Project No. DRP24-0093 and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP24-0008, with public review and approval processes managed by the City of Whittier’s Community Development Department. Primary contacts for inquiries include Assistant Planner Alejandro Murillo and Assistant Director of Community Development Luis Escobedo, both reachable through the city’s official channels. The project is forecasted to be active as of August 5, 2026, and is located at the ARCO Gas facility in Whittier, CA 90605, with all relevant documentation accessible via the city’s CEQA Net portal. Approval of this proposal would transform the current service offerings and operational scope of the facility, introducing alcohol sales and extended hours to an established regional fuel and grocery destination.
