Industrial-Commercial General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Project (GPA 2025-1)(ZMA 58)

The City of La Mirada is implementing the Industrial-Commercial General Plan Amendment (GPA 2025-1) and Zoning Map Amendment (ZMA 58) project. This initiative involves the rezoning of 10 parcels across two sites totaling 36.9 acres located near the I-5 Freeway at Firestone Boulevard and Knott Avenue. The project will reclassify approximately 20.4 acres from manufacturing to commercial use and 16.5 acres from commercial to manufacturing. The primary objective is to process a Programmatic Negative Declaration (PND) and an Initial Study to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Environmental assessments indicate that the administrative reclassification will not result in significant adverse impacts, and no mitigation measures are currently required. Technical reviews include detailed emissions reports for the South Coast AQMD air district and trip generation analysis based on ITE standards. Caltrans has reviewed the proposal and noted no significant transportation safety or Vehicle Miles Traveled concerns, though they recommend incorporating multi-modal and complete streets elements in future developments. The public review period for the PND concludes on November 19, 2025, with a public hearing scheduled for November 20, 2025, at La Mirada City Hall.
