Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in West Covina public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Mariscos Choix restaurant at former Sears Auto Center
A vacant former Sears Auto Center downtown gets new life as a family Mexican seafood restaurant with live music and a patio, adding 75-100 jobs. Commissioners flagged tight mall parking as the main concern.
232-Unit Residential Project at 1501 W. Del Norte Street
A proposed 232-unit apartment project was headed to public hearing, with environmental review, a general plan amendment, zone change, tract map and tree removal permit all bundled in one approval. Neighbors would have had a chance to weigh in before the council acted.
City Yard property sale negotiations
The Council was to consider letting the Acting City Manager negotiate exclusively with Brandywine Acquisition Group to sell the City Yard site at 811 South Sunset Avenue. What gets built or redeveloped there could change the surrounding neighborhood.
