The City has created this page to share information about the Hillcrest Gateway Project.

Updates can be found below. 

Background Information: 

A proposed expansion and update to the Hillcrest continuing care retirement community located in southern La Verne. The project includes redevelopment of the North and South Gateway sites through the demolition of four existing residential units, construction of seven new single-family homes, and renovation of three existing homes. Additionally, the project incorporates a Zone Change site and a Master Plan Change site, which will formally integrate these properties into Neighborhood 5 of the Hillcrest Master Plan. 

The project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Master Plan Amendments, Parcel Mergers, and Precise Plan Review. The proposed Gateway Project will be consistent with the objectives of the Hillcrest Master Plan, enhances connectivity between the East and West campuses, and provides modern, marketable homes for older adult residents.
