In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the ongoing development planning around the Glendora Station, focusing on a refined study area within a half-mile radius. The area has been narrowed down to parcels deemed most likely to develop or redevelop, a decision approved by Metro. This strategic move aims to enhance the potential for housing and community assets in the vicinity.

The project, managed by PlaceWorks, is currently in the existing conditions analysis phase, with public engagement efforts underway. An open house held earlier attracted over 30 community members, indicating strong public interest. The project is on track to be completed by summer 2025, aligning with the anticipated start of service.

PlaceWorks presented findings from their analysis, highlighting the abundance of community assets such as public facilities and parks within the study area. They also conducted a comparative review of recent developments in neighboring cities along the Gold Line, noting a consistent trend of increased density and market-supported development.

A scoring system was introduced to evaluate properties based on their potential for redevelopment. Properties were rated on a scale from 0 to 10, with factors such as size and vacancy influencing their scores. The analysis identified several high-scoring parcels, particularly two large sites owned by Metro, which are positioned for future investment.

The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement and data-driven planning in shaping the future of Glendora, as officials prepare for the next stages of development scenario planning.
