West Covina Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-09-25 · West Covina

As part of a conditional use permit approval, the Planning Commission may require development standards stricter than the regulations of this Code (e.g., less sign area, less building coverage, lower density, increased parking, increased fence or wall height, etc.) when such restrictions will alleviate potential impacts to surrounding properties or achieve greater aesthetic or functional integration and compatibility with neighboring developments.
