Westminster Gardens Specific Plan Update

Westminster Gardens Specific Plan Update

The proposed project will update the Westminster Gardens Specific Plan (WGSP) through a comprehensive update, repealing in its entirety the existing Specific Plan, replacing it with a new Specific Plan to facilitate redevelopment of the existing LPC. The updated WGSP identifies the long-term vision and objectives for private redevelopment, new residential and non-residential development capacity, and associated public and private improvements within the WGSP area over a 15-to-20-year span. The WGSP update establishes the general type, parameters, and character of the development aimed at transforming the current Westminster Gardens LPC campus into a vibrant and dynamic environment with senior-centric amenities, services, and multiple housing and continuum of care options at various price points, providing aging Duarte residents a destination to continue to reside within the City. Redevelopment under the updated WGSP is intended to address the unmet demand for senior housing and services within Duarte and the surrounding communities. Implementation of this amendment allows for redevelopment of the Westminster Gardens LPC campus to allow an increase in build-out capacity from 149 to 550 residential units/beds and from 27,663 to 112,000 square feet of non-residential floor area. Another major goal of updating the WGSP is to achieve a coordinated, cohesive environment and character within the Westminster Gardens LPC by updating development and design standards.
