Vagabond Drive Rezoning Dispute

Monterey Park

Summary

Property owner Nancy Nguyen asked the council to help reverse a 2020 rezoning that changed her Vagabond Drive land from residential to commercial without her notice, killing her nearly-approved home project. The mayor said the city likely can't undo it without going back to the voters, and staff will keep working with her.
