Zoning Code Amendment (CA 26-01)

The City of West Covina is implementing Zoning Code Amendment CA 26-01 to modify Chapter 26 of the West Covina Municipal Code. The primary objective of this initiative is to establish reasonable development standards for supportive and transitional housing and to update the land use table specifically concerning the conversion of hotels and motels. Additionally, the amendment introduces formal criteria for the automatic withdrawal of planning applications that are deemed inactive or incomplete. This project consists solely of text amendments to the Development Code and is performed city-wide within West Covina, California. Under the guidance of Deputy Director Arturo Cervantes, the project adheres to the California Environmental Quality Act and claims a categorical exemption under Section 15061(b)(3), as the text amendments do not authorize a specific development project and are not expected to result in significant environmental effects.
