This Is the City of Montebello Planning Commission Meeting (09/01/26)

The City of Montebello Planning Commission held a meeting on September 1, 2026, where they reviewed a conditional use permit and zone variance request from Round One Entertainment to establish a new entertainment and dining venue at 1800 Montabelloo Town Center. The proposal included occupying approximately 43,331 square feet on the second floor of an existing commercial space, with plans for arcade games, a Japanese food hall, and a full line of alcoholic beverages under a type 47 license. The commission discussed the zone variance request to deviate from the municipal code's 1,000-foot separation requirement between amusement arcades, as the new venue would be about 300 feet from an existing arcade. After public comments and a presentation by the applicant, the commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit and zone variance with recommended conditions. This approval supports local business investment and community engagement at the shopping center.
