The Planning Division has released the draft update to Title 17 of the Covina Municipal Code for public review. During the past two years, the City has undertaken a comprehensive effort to modernize, simplify, and consolidate more than 50 chapters of the municipal zoning code into 14 chapters! This project is being led by Nancy Fong, Community Development Consultant with Interwest Consultant Group, in collaboration with the City’s Community Development staff.
The proposed code update would modernize code language, improve usability, simplify development standards, and incorporate tables intended to provide clearer direction regarding applicable zoning and development requirements. The public may learn more by visiting the project webpage, which includes the project timeline, the full draft code for review, and an interactive map showing properties proposed for a zone change as part of the update.
The proposed zone changes are primarily administrative in nature and designed to align the City’s zoning map with the General Plan. As proposed, the identified properties would not experience changes to their underlying permitted uses.
A workshop is planned for summer 2026.
Maintaining yard and vegetation upkeep can be challenging for some residents
due to age, health, financial hardship, or other circumstances. The Code Cares
pilot program is designed to assist those in need while promoting community
pride and involvement.
How the program Works
The public may submit a nomination form to Us. Our team will review the
candidates and select up to three properties for a community clean-up day.
