Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Monterey Park public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Condominium conversion at 141 Casuda Canyon Drive
An existing four-unit apartment building could be converted into four individually owned condos. That could mean the current rental units become owner-occupied, and it adds to the small supply of for-sale housing in the city.
Development pipeline and vacant Garvey Avenue lot
Staff showed a long list of housing and commercial projects in various stages, and council members grew impatient with the owner of the long-vacant 808 West Garvey Avenue lot, asking staff to pressure them to build. Members also worried rising interest rates could stall projects across the pipeline.
Deerfield Mixed-Use Development Project approval path
The applicant asked the council to let the project skip another Planning Commission stop and go straight to the council; instead the council kept the commission in the loop and set the council hearing for Nov. 18. The applicant wants to avoid reopening issues already resolved in two-plus years of staff review.
