The February 25, 2026 City Council minutes, embedded in the official April 1, 2026 agenda packet, record Item 5 for Parkview Townhomes as approved 5-0. The minutes list Resolution Nos. 2026-23, 2026-28, and 2026-29 and Ordinance No. 2026-03 first reading for that item.

Project Context

The ordinance says Touchstone Communities filed a land-use development application on June 18, 2024. It describes the application as including a General Plan Amendment, Zone Map Amendment, Tentative Subdivision Map/Condominium Permit, grading exemption, administrative adjustment, and Major Plot Plan and Design Permit for 70 "for-sale" dwelling units.

The ordinance describes the project site as a 4.96-acre site at 550 W. El Norte Parkway, APN 226-380-48-00. This page does not publish map metadata, parcel boundaries, private-property access guidance, current construction conditions, current sales, or current occupancy.

Prior Review

The ordinance says the Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 13, 2026 and adopted Resolution No. 2026-01 recommending that the City Council approve the project's Zone Map Amendment and corresponding entitlements as detailed in the February 25, 2026 City Council staff report.

This page does not summarize the staff report, Planning Commission record, Resolution No. 2026-01, Resolution No. 2026-23, Resolution No. 2026-28, Resolution No. 2026-29, conditions of approval, or any later permitting record.

The February 25 minutes verify the recorded Council action and vote for Item 5. They do not provide the full resolution text, condition text, current entitlement status, current construction status, sales, occupancy, condition compliance, or later project status.

Zoning Map Language

Exhibit C to the ordinance says the Zone Map Amendment associated with PL25-0010 changes APN 226-380-48-00 from Professional Commercial (CP) to High Multiple Family District (R-4-24), and that the subject parcel will carry the R-4-24 zoning classification.

That statement is recorded here only as ordinance text. Check the current zoning map, municipal code, City Clerk records, later amendments, and parcel records before relying on current zoning status or parcel-specific zoning determinations.

Environmental Review Statement

The ordinance says the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026-23 adopting the Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the project and the associated Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

That statement is recorded here only as ordinance text. This page does not provide CEQA analysis, legal interpretation, entitlement advice, appeal guidance, mitigation-compliance status, or litigation status.
