General Plan

Glendora's General Plan, known as "Community Plan 2025," is the primary land use policy document for the community. Required by state law, the General Plan serves as a blueprint for future development and creates a vision how Glendora will develop in the years to come. Community Plan 2025 was created between 2006 and 2008 with extensive community input.

Community Plan 2025 is made up of chapters called "elements." Each element addresses a different topic and provides goals and policies related to that topic. The Historic Preservation Element was adopted in 1999, prior to the creation of Community Plan 2025.

Housing Programs, Policies, and Incentives

The City of Glendora has a variety of programs, policies, and incentives to encourage and facilitate affordable and market-rate housing development in the city. These include commitments made in the adopted Housing Element, in-progress code revisions, planned code revisions, and process handouts.

Program 7 of the Housing Element addresses a range of affordable housing incentives including pledging regulatory and technical assistance to affordable housing developers and continuing to partner with San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust.

Program 12 outlines commitments made to revise the Glendora Zoning Code to make density bonus incentives consistent with State Law.

The City recognizes that Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and their development provide a naturally occurring means of affordable housing; therefore, Program 14 will amend the Zoning Code to be in compliance with state law and offer expedited reviews.

Program 16 contains an entire host of local action items to facilitate the production of affordable and market-rate housing units.

Glendora’s Municipal Code Section 21.07.070 - Grand-Foothill multifamily residential overlay - is to enact certain unique zoning policies intended to promote well-planned, multiple-family development through the logical redevelopment of properties located within the overlay area’s boundaries, and reward development that consolidates property and/or integrates energy conservation and environmental stewardship into project design.

Finally, the City has introduced post-entitlement phase permit checklists for residential developments in conformance with AB 2234 and to reduce review cycles. The City continues to comply with evolving State housing laws, and density bonus requirements, and work with developers in a good-faith manner to achieve local RHNA goals.
