5809-5813 Cloverly Avenue

A nine-unit apartment building is entitled for a pair of combined lots on Cloverly Avenue in Temple City, with the Planning Commission signing off in August 2025 — though as of May 2026, building permits still hadn't been issued.

What's proposed

One three-story building holding nine units, each with an attached two-car garage. Unit sizes range from about 1,650 to just under 2,000 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms apiece — sized more like townhomes than a typical apartment unit. The project works out to roughly 20.6 units per acre.

What it's replacing

The project combines the parcels at 5809 and 5813 Cloverly Avenue into one building site.

How it got here

The Planning Commission approved a major site plan review and adopted a CEQA exemption in a single 5-0 vote on August 26, 2025. Project designer Henna Li of HL Design drew the plans and is the applicant of record; there is no licensed architect, and no parent development company is identified in the case file reviewed for this piece.

Where it stands

Approved, not yet permitted. The city's 2025 year-end report for the Community Development Department lists the project as Planning Commission-approved, and a May 2026 city update video has staff saying they hoped to issue building permits soon so construction could begin — but no permit issuance had been confirmed as of that update.

What this means if you live nearby

This is a small, fully entitled infill project — nine units where two single lots used to sit, with the main approval already secured. Watch for building permits to clear before expecting any visible construction on Cloverly Avenue.
