The City of Gardena is set to move forward with a significant project aimed at upgrading a local facility, following a recent planning commission meeting on December 3, 2024. The project, which has been in discussion since 2020, focuses on the installation of a new canopy at the site, with the conditional use permit now being reapplied for after its expiration.

During the meeting, staff confirmed that there are no current proposals for modifications to the underground tanks associated with the project, emphasizing that the primary focus remains on the canopy. Ahmad Gaderi, the architect for the project, was present to address any inquiries from the commission, although no questions were raised during the public hearing segment.

The anticipated timeline for the project indicates that construction will take approximately three months, which may impact traffic at the busy corner where the facility is located. This upgrade is expected to enhance the overall functionality and appearance of the site, benefiting both the local community and visitors.

As the commission prepares to finalize the details, the community can look forward to improvements that will enhance the area’s infrastructure and accessibility. Further updates will be provided as the project progresses.
