Harvard-Westlake Parking Improvement Plan

Final Environmental Impact Report

Case Number ENV 2013-0150-EIR

Project Location: The approximately 25.83-acre Project Site is located on the east and west sides of Coldwater Canyon Avenue in Studio City, and is comprised of two components: (1) the approximately 6.83-acre Parking Structure/Development Site, which is located at 3701 North Coldwater Canyon Avenue (APNs 2385-018-001, 2385-018-002, 2385-018-003, 2385-018-011, 2385-019-013, 2385-019-014, 2385- 019-015, 2385-019-016, 2382-019-017, 2385-019-049, 2385-019-050, 2385-019-051, and Paper Hacienda) and (2) the approximately 19-acre campus for the Harvard-Westlake School, which is located at 3700 North Coldwater Canyon Avenue (APNs 2384-007-005, 2384-017-045, and 2384-017-047).

Project Description: The Project consists of the construction of a three-story, 750-space parking structure with a rooftop practice field and associated lighting at 3701 North Coldwater Canyon Avenue (the Development Site) to be used by the Harvard-Westlake School (Harvard-Westlake), located across the street at 3700 North Coldwater Canyon Avenue (the Campus), and the construction of a pedestrian bridge crossing over Coldwater Canyon Avenue from the Development Site to the Campus. Preparation of the Development Site includes the grading and removal of 137,000 cubic yards of soil (140,000 cubic yards were conservatively included in EIR analyses), the removal of a single-family residence, and the installation of soil nail wall retention system. The Project also includes roadway improvements and modified use of an existing Harvard-Westlake surface parking lot to facilitate traffic flow in the Project area and improve pedestrian and vehicle safety.
