The Planning Hearing Officer meeting held on May 21, 2025, in Glendale focused on a proposed project located on a 7,431 square foot trapezoidal lot on the south side of Magnolia Avenue. This site, situated between Los Angeles Street and San Fernando Road, is designated as part of the IND Industrial Zone.

The project involves a single-tenant industrial building that occupies most of the lot, along with a grain silo located at the northeast corner. The surrounding area features a mix of manufacturing and light industrial developments, as well as commercial establishments, including automotive services and the Glendale Tap tavern.

The existing tavern operates from a 5,781 square foot Quonset-style building, originally constructed in 1946 for manufacturing purposes. Currently, there is one ADA-compliant parking space available on-site, accessible via an existing driveway on Magnolia Avenue.

In a related development, a conditional use permit (case number PCUP1625871) was approved on February 23, 2025, allowing the operation of a tavern and brewery with a tasting room, which includes the sales and service of alcoholic beverages. This approval is significant as it supports the ongoing evolution of the area towards a blend of industrial and commercial uses.

The meeting underscored the city's commitment to balancing industrial growth with community needs, as it continues to navigate the complexities of urban development in Glendale.
