The Baldwin Park Planning Commission held a regular meeting on September 23, 2026, primarily to review and approve a development project proposed by San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity. The project involves combining five vacant lots on Torch Street to construct two multifamily buildings with 13 affordable condominium units for low-income families. The commission reviewed the tentative tract map, general plan amendment, zone change from single-family to multifamily residential, and architectural design. After staff and applicant presentations, the commission approved the project unanimously, recommending city council approval. The meeting also included public comments addressing local code enforcement concerns and updates on other community housing projects, including the Central Metro project nearing full lease-up and upcoming ribbon-cutting events. No other procurement or contract awards were discussed.
