Draft Environmental Impact Report
Draft Environmental Impact Report - Recirculated
Project Description: The Project proposes the demolition of three existing vacant commercial buildings totaling 172,500 square feet of floor area and the removal of associated surface parking areas in order to construct an approximately 584,000 gross square-foot mixed-use development on an approximately 8.9-acre site. The Project involves the construction of seven buildings containing approximately 200,000 square feet of commercial floor area and 422 multi-family residential units. In addition, parking for approximately 1,690 vehicles and 858 bicycles would be provided on-site. Commercial uses would be located within five separate one- and two-story buildings on the eastern and southern portions of the site and would be served by a six-level parking structure within the center of the property. Two separate seven-story residential buildings (five stories of residential over two levels of above-ground parking) would be located along the western and northern portions of the site.Anticipated Discretionary Actions:The Project Applicant is requesting approvals from the City of Los Angeles. This EIR addresses the environmental impacts of the Proposed Project that could occur upon approval of the following actions by the City of Los Angeles:
- Vesting Zone Change pursuant to Section 12.32-F from the [Q]C2-1-CDO and [Q]P-1-CDO zones to the [T][Q]C2-1-CDO zone over the entire site and request to modify [Q] Condition related to signage;
