Temple City Self-Storage Facility

The Temple City Self-Storage Facility project involves the construction and operation of a 133,460 to 133,884 square foot self-storage building on a 2.45-acre site at 4301 Temple City Boulevard in El Monte, California. The facility will feature five levels, including a basement, providing 1,032 storage units ranging from 25 to 250 square feet, along with a 1,185-square-foot first-floor office, kitchen, and restrooms. Site infrastructure includes three elevators, two flights of stairs, surface parking with 17 spaces, and a six-foot-high wrought iron perimeter fence. The project is managed under NAICS code 236220 and is coordinated through a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of El Monte and the City of Temple City to align land use and environmental reviews. Construction is scheduled to span approximately 18 months, beginning November 3, 2025, and ending in May 2027, with a projected operational start in 2027. The project timeline is divided into five phases: demolition, grading, building construction, paving, and architectural coating. Comprehensive environmental and technical assessments have been completed, including geotechnical investigations, air quality analysis, VMT screening, and cultural resource inventories. The project has received a Mitigated Negative Declaration under CEQA, confirming no significant environmental effects. Utility services have been secured via will-serve letters from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts and California American Water. Regulatory compliance requires adherence to RCRA, CERCLA, OSHA, and SCAQMD standards, as well as the completion of a Major Site Plan Review and Development Agreement.
