3 issues in development
Scale, neighborhood compatibility, and infrastructure limits

Adult day care facility in downtown West Covina
PALS Inc. will bring a daytime program for adults with developmental disabilities to 421 S. Glendora Avenue, serving 30 participants with staff-led life skills, cooking, and recreation programming. Commissioners flagged the six-hour-a-day footprint as a modest contributor to downtown vibrancy but welcomed the service.
