Santa Monica and Barrington Mixed-Use Project

Draft Environmental Impact Report

Project Address: 11650-11674 W. Santa Monica Boulevard, 1551 S. Barry Avenue, and 1560 S. Barrington Avenue, Los Angeles, California, 90025

CommunityPlan Area: West Los Angeles Community Plan Area

Project Description: The Project involves the construction and operation of a new five-story 316,520 square-foot mixed-use development, comprised of 64,759 square feet of ground-floor and mezzanine-level grocery store and restaurant uses along Santa Monica Boulevard and 180 residential apartments (20 of which would be set aside of Very Low Income households), over three levels of subterranean parking (up to 40.0 feet in depth), on a 2.6-acre (114,563 square-foot) vacant site. The Project would be a maximum of 62 feet in building height, with a maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 3:1. The Project would also include the installation of rooftop-mounted cellular antennas on 8-foot poles with supporting equipment cabinets. Excavation activities would result in the export of 152,000 cubic yards of soil from the site.

ANTICIPATED SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS:

Based on the analysis included in the Draft EIR, the Project would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts. All potential Project impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to less-than-significant levels.
