Draft Environmental Impact Report
Project Description: The 1045 Olive Project (Project) involves the construction and operation of a 70-story mixed-use high-rise development, with up to 751,777 square feet of floor area on a 0.96-acre site. The Project would include up to 794 residential units, 12,504 square feet of ground-floor commercial (restaurant/retail) uses, a ground-floor public plaza, and residential open space amenities. A 61-story residential tower would sit atop a nine-level podium structure, with a total building height of up to 810 feet. Eight above-ground levels of automobile parking would be located within the nine-level podium structure and would be partially wrapped with residential units. The Project would also have six subterranean levels of parking (depth of 64 feet) and would require the excavation and export of approximately 80,520 cubic yards of soil. Five existing single-story commercial buildings containing 35,651 square feet of floor area would be removed from the Project Site. The Project is a certified Environmental Leadership Development Project (ELDP).
Anticipated Significant Environmental Effects: Based on the analysis included in the Draft EIR the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts relating to project-level and cumulative construction noise impacts, which will be addressed in the EIR. All other potential impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to less-than-significant levels.
