Eighteen apartments and a pocket park
A vacant third-acre parcel on Mission Boulevard in Pomona's Midtown corridor is proposed for an 18-unit apartment building — four stories, three affordable units, and a small pocket park at the rear of the site.
What's proposed
Eighteen for-rent apartments in one four-story building: five one-bedrooms, 12 two-bedrooms, and one three-bedroom. Three units — about 13 percent — are set aside as low-income under the state density bonus program, which in exchange lets the project claim one concession and two waivers: extra height along Mission Boulevard, relief from a public open-space visibility standard, and a reduced parking count. Twenty-three parking spaces are proposed for the 18 units. A roughly 1,800-square-foot pocket park sits at the rear of the site.
What it's replacing
The 0.34-acre site is vacant. It sits in the Midtown Segment of Pomona's Corridors Specific Plan, a transect-based zoning overlay adopted to guide denser, mixed-format infill along the city's commercial corridors — this parcel's T4-A designation allows up to 70 units per acre, well above what the 18-unit proposal actually uses.
How it got here
The application is a Development Plan Review (DPR-000236-2024), filed in February 2024 by developer Integrity Property Group. Because the Corridors Specific Plan already went through its own environmental review when adopted, projects that fit within it can claim a project-level CEQA exemption under Guidelines section 15182, rather than conducting a new environmental study — a form of streamlining built into specific-plan zoning. The application went to a Zoning Administrator hearing rather than the full Planning Commission: for smaller density-bonus projects, Pomona's code assigns some development review approvals to a single hearing officer instead of a commission vote. Staff recommended approval at the February 11, 2026 hearing.
Heard, not yet confirmed decided. Staff recommended adopting Resolution No. 26-002 at the February hearing; no later minutes or notice confirming that the Zoning Administrator actually signed off — or that any appeal period has run — has surfaced in the record reviewed. No architect of record is named in the staff report language reviewed.
What this means if you live nearby
If it moves forward, a vacant lot on Mission Boulevard becomes 18 apartments with a small public-facing park component. The density bonus concessions here — extra height, less parking, relaxed open-space rules — are becoming the standard toolkit for small infill in Pomona's corridor zones, not an exception.
