Envision West Covina Mercedes Benz– IS/MND
The project site was located at 1800 East Garvey Avenue in the city of West Covina. The project site was bounded by East Garvey Avenue to the south and east; Azusa Avenue to the west; and the Interstate 10 (I-10) freeway to the north. Regional access to the site was from the I-10 via Azusa Avenue. The 3.54-acre project site consisted of three parcels: assessor’s parcel numbers (APNs) 8478-007-025; -031; and -042. The north and central parts of the project site were developed with an auto dealership, and the southwest part with a gas station. The site was surrounded by an auto dealership to the east and south opposite East Garvey Avenue; a restaurant and a gas station to the west opposite Azusa Avenue; and the I-10 freeway to the north.
The proposed project involved demolition of an existing auto dealership (Envision Motors Toyota) and an operating Valero gas station, and construction of a new two-story automotive sales and dealership building housing Envision Motors Mercedes Benz, selling four related brands – Mercedes Benz, Maybach, AMG and Sprinter – as well as associated surface parking, landscaping, facilities for EV charging, and an onsite car wash tunnel. UltraSystems prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project. Key issues that were considered included Hazards and Hazardous Substances, as well as Transportation and Traffic. West Covina City Council unanimously adopted the IS/MND on February 4, 2025.
