The San Gabriel City Council unanimously approved steps to move forward with a 73‑unit affordable senior housing development at 405 South Del Mar Avenue, voting 5–0 to introduce Ordinance No. 714 by title and grant the entitlements needed to pursue financing and construction.
City and developer presentations framed the project as the city’s first 100% affordable senior rental development. Planning staff told the council the proposal includes a general plan amendment and rezoning (M1 to R3), a density bonus to permit 73 units on about 1.62 acres, and a street vacation of roughly 12 feet along Main Street. Planning Manager Samizar Tewarzard said the proposal requests incentives including a building height increase to 41 feet and reduced side setbacks to 5 feet, and that staff found the project consistent with the general plan housing goals. Staff cited a CEQA exemption for qualifying affordable‑housing projects under recent state law (AB 1449) as part of the environmental analysis.
