CITY REZONING
Currently, the City of South El Monte’s zoning map is not consistent with the City’s general plan. California Law mandates that the zoning map be consistent with the general plan. To remove the inconsistencies and conform to California law, the City of South El Monte has begun the process to change the general plan and/or zone designation of inconsistent properties.

The general plan/zone changes affect many South El Monte residents, property owners and business owners. Should you have any inquiries or concerns regarding the general plan/zone changes, please contact the City's Planning Department at 626 579 6540 or attend the first City Council hearing on the matter on Tuesday September 13, 2011* at 5:30pm in the City Council Chambers at City Hall. Only the zone changes will be discussed at this meeting. The general plan changes will be made after the zone changes are complete.

*date for the public hearing is subject to rescheduling to a later date.
