3 issues in development with medium priority
Round One Entertainment at The Shops of Montebello
Round One wants to open a Japanese food hall and arcade venue with a full liquor license at the mall, filling a big vacant tenant space. It's being framed as a way to bring families, jobs, and foot traffic back to a mall that many residents remember from its busier days.
New Planet Fitness at Montebello Mix Shopping Center
A 24/7 gym is filling the long-vacant former Rite Aid space, adding jobs and foot traffic to the center. A nearby resident raised concerns about bright signage on Montebello Boulevard affecting her home; that signage will go through a separate permit review.
Old Dominion Freight Line facility expansion
A major freight employer is rebuilding and expanding its Montebello maintenance operation, replacing a rundown 1980s building with a modern facility. The company plans to also redo its main site, potentially adding 10 to 30 jobs with benefits over the next few years.
