Glendora : Housing Plan Revised

The Planning Commission has revised a controversial proposal for 243 low-income housing units scattered throughout six residential development sites in the city.

The commission Tuesday amended the proposal, which was part of the city’s General Plan, reducing affordable housing to 141 apartment and condominium units to be built exclusively on two sites least in dispute.

Lower-priced housing may be built on a 15-acre site north of Gladstone Street, between Valley Center Avenue and Lone Hill Avenue, and on a 3.9-acre parcel south of Galatea Street, east of Drendel School.

The other four sites were retained for single-family home development, exclusively.

The recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council next Tuesday.

Hundreds of residents have opposed the affordable housing proposal because, they said, the new tenants would overcrowd schools and increase traffic and crime.
