Glendale to change permit services hours; ADU zoning amendment removed from Feb. 4 agenda

City planning staff told the Glendale Planning Commission on Feb. 4 that the city's Permit Services Center will change operating hours beginning Feb. 9. Under the announced schedule the center will be open 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with extended walk-in hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.; the center will be closed on Fridays going forward.

Staff (Speaker 2) presented the schedule change as an operational update and said the change is effective Feb. 9. The change was presented as a way to provide additional walk-in service on set days while consolidating weekday morning hours; no budget numbers or staffing details were provided in the transcript.

Staff also told the commission that a scheduled zoning code text amendment—case PCC-0015-2025, related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs)—was removed from the Feb. 4 agenda and will be re-noticed at a later date while staff continues work on the amendments. No new hearing date was announced during the meeting.

During board comments a commissioner (Speaker 3) announced a community health workshop hosted by the Filipino American Business Association of Glendale and the YMCA of Glendale on Feb. 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the YMCA facility at 140 North Lewis Street; the event was described as free and open to the public.

No public comments on the permit-hours change or the ADU amendment were recorded during this meeting. The commission adjourned after the updates and procedural business.
