CITY OF NORWALK
SPECIAL PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ZONE CHANGE NO. 2026-01
Date: Wednesday, December 9, 2026
Time: 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard
Place: City Council Chambers, Norwalk City Hall, 12700 Norwalk Boulevard, Norwalk, CA 90650
Project Description: For the Planning Commission to consider and provide a recommendation to the City Council regarding a City-initiated request to amend the zoning map to correct the zoning as R-1, not C-1 due to a typographical error for Assessor Parcel Nos. 8070-019-036, 8070-020-031, and 8070-020-032 (“Affected Parcels”) (“Proposed Project”). Background: On January 4, 2024, Ordinance No. 23-1744 (Zone Text Amendment No. 2023-01) and Ordinance No. 23-1745 (Zone Change No. 2023-01) were codified and incorporated into the Norwalk Municipal Code (“NMC”). Ordinance No. 23-1744 amended Title 17 of (Zoning) of the NMC and removed the Automobile Parking (“P”) Zone throughout the City and Ordinance No. 23-1745 authorized the zone change for the zoning map. The proposed zone change will rectify a typographical error and ensure the correct intended zoning for the Affected Parcels.
Environmental Review Information: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project is exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption), in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed zone change will have a significant effect on the environment.
