Community Plan Area: Hollywood
Council District: 4—David Ryu
Project Description:
The Project proposed the development of 236 residential dwelling units above 30,000 square feet of ground-floor neighborhood-serving retail and restaurant uses. These new uses, which comprised approximately 210,288 square feet of floor area, were proposed to be located on two adjacent sites (referred to as the West Site and the East Site) that together comprise approximately 1.64 acres. The West Building was proposed to include approximately 127,050 square feet of floor area, with a 3:1 floor area ratio (FAR). The East Building was proposed to include approximately 83,238 total square feet of floor area, with a 3:1 FAR. The East Building would be 65 feet in height, while the West Building would be 66 feet 9 inches at its highest point. To provide for the new uses, approximately 39,939 square feet of existing low-rise commercial uses and surface parking areas would be removed.
In response to comments received regarding the Draft EIR, the number of residential units is proposed to be reduced from 236 units to 213 units. The proposed 30,000 square feet of ground-floor neighborhood-serving commercial uses would remain. With the proposed reduction in residential units, the floor area of the Project would be reduced from 210,288 square feet to approximately 203,204 square feet, or a reduction of approximately 7,084 square feet. Accordingly, the Project’s total average FAR of 3:1 has been reduced to 2.91:1. Also in response to comments on the Draft EIR and input from the community, the southernmost portion of the building on the East Site has been modified to decrease the height from five levels to three levels and increase the setback area; however, the overall height would remain the same. Similarly, the building on the West Site has been refined to increase stepbacks at the fourth and fifth levels and reduce the massing of the building to a primary three-story building with a reduced, five-story backdrop.
