La Verne holds public hearing on rezoning request for 130 Old Walton Road
Summary
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen opened a public hearing Nov. 4 on Ordinance 2025-34, a proposed rezoning of a roughly 0.6-acre parcel at 130 Old Walton Road from R-1 (low-density residential) to C-2 (highway service commercial).
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen opened a public hearing Nov. 4 on Ordinance 2025-34, a proposed rezoning of a roughly 0.6-acre parcel at 130 Old Walton Road (tax map 15 M Group E Parcel 11) from R-1, the low-density residential district, to C-2, the highway service commercial district. The Planning Commission issued an unfavorable recommendation on Sept. 30, 2025.
Anthony Eubanks, the applicant seeking the rezoning, spoke in favor and said he plans an event center on the site. "We are the ones who's trying to get this rezoned to, C 2 and, trying to, first, put up some type of event center facility on the place," Eubanks said, adding the facility would host events "after work, at any time and probably on the on the weekends" and therefore "would not do anything for the traffic" related to school times. He also said, "We're not gonna cook there. The only thing that's gonna be held there is like weddings and stuff like that."
No other members of the public took the podium. The hearing official closed the public hearing after comments and announced the meeting would reconvene at 6 p.m. There was no council vote or formal action on the rezoning at this meeting.
Why it matters: a zoning change from R-1 to C-2 would permit commercial uses that the current residential zoning does not, including uses consistent with an event center. The Planning Commission's unfavorable recommendation is a formal advisory finding that the Board may weigh when considering the ordinance in a later decision.
What was not decided: the Board did not vote on Ordinance 2025-34 during the Nov. 4 hearing. Any conditions, mitigation measures, or council direction (such as traffic studies, hours-of-operation limits, or specific use restrictions) were not recorded in this hearing and therefore were not decided or directed at this meeting.
Next steps: the ordinance remains before the Board for further consideration; the record will include the Planning Commission recommendation and the comments made at the public hearing.
