Proposed 48-Unit Apartment Project on Hellman Avenue
Monterey Park
Summary
Residents from Monterey Park and Alhambra packed the meeting to oppose a proposed 48-unit apartment building at 816-824 West Hellman Avenue, citing a dangerous accident-prone intersection, overflow parking from the Courtyard Marriott, and neighborhood incompatibility. The project still must go through the Planning Commission, and the council directed staff to review the concerns and report back.

Impact analysis
The project itself is privately funded, but traffic and parking mitigation could carry city costs.
Future residents gain new housing, and the developer gains entitlement value.
Nearby single-family residents in both cities say they face more traffic, noise, parking strain and safety risk at an already dangerous intersection.
