UPDATE: This meeting has been canceled due to three councilmembers being unavailable. The hearing has been rescheduled to June 2, also the last day for voters to vote.

Residents of Fullerton will have the opportunity to weigh in on a proposed housing development during a public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 5:30 pm in the Fullerton City Council Chamber, located at 303 West Commonwealth Avenue.*

The hearing revolves around an appeal of the Planning Commission’s recent decision to deny a Major Site Plan and Vesting Tentative Tract Map 19342. The proposal aims to construct 32 residential townhomes at 111 West Hermosa Drive, five of which are designated for low-income households, complying with the Housing Accountability Act, Government Code Section 65589.5.

The property is currently zoned as R-1-20, which allows for single-family residential use with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet. The city is encouraging community participation in the decision-making process, inviting residents to submit questions or comments before the hearing.

City Council meetings are accessible to the public through live streaming on the city’s website at http://www.cityoffullerton.com/agendas, as well as on Spectrum Cable Channel 3 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. For those wishing to attend in person, seating in the Council Chamber is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Public participation is also encouraged through remote methods, allowing residents to comment from the comfort of their homes using a computer, a smart device, or a telephone.

David Lopez from the Community and Economic Development Department is the contact for questions or comments related to the proposed development. He can be reached at (714) 738-6878 or via email at David.Lopez@cityoffullerton.com.

Details about the project will be available on the city website 72 hours before the hearing, including links to the staff report and information about oral public comments during the meeting.

In a commitment to inclusivity, the city plans to provide the agenda and backup materials in alternative formats upon request for individuals with disabilities.

Residents should note that if they intend to challenge the council’s decision in court, they may be limited to addressing only those issues raised during the public hearing or in written correspondence submitted before the meeting, as stated under Government Code 65009 (a).

This public hearing presents a pivotal moment for Fullerton’s housing landscape as the city navigates the balance of development and community needs.
