A new housing development is set to transform a vacant site in San Gabriel, with plans for three contemporary buildings that will house a total of 12 condominium units. Each unit will feature one of four distinct floor plans, spanning between 1,239 and 1,486 square feet, and will include private roof decks and ground floor garages for two cars. Additionally, the project will offer four guest parking spaces.

The proposal has been thoroughly reviewed and meets all requirements outlined in the San Gabriel Municipal Code for the R3 zone, including density, lot coverage, building height, setbacks, and open space. The site, previously occupied by a church and meeting hall built in the mid-20th century, has been evaluated for historical significance. A report concluded that the property does not qualify for listing on any federal, state, or local historical registers.

The applicant's team had previously filed for a demolition permit in June 2022 due to issues of trespassing and illegal dumping. The structures were demolished by September 2022, leaving the site vacant. The new design aligns with the city’s residential design guidelines, as confirmed by city staff and the city architect.

This development marks a significant step in addressing housing needs in San Gabriel, reflecting the city’s commitment to modern residential solutions while adhering to regulatory standards.
