DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT

For The

WILSHIRE COMSTOCK PROJECT

LEAD AGENCY: CITY OF LOS ANGELES

CASE No: ENV-2003-5313-EIR

SCH No: 2004091031
SITE LOCATION: 10250 Wilshire Boulevard

On June 29, 1977, the Los Angeles City Planning Department issued a Conditional Negative Declaration (CND) for a condominium project at 10250 West Wilshire Boulevard (CND-213-77-SUB). The Tentative Tract Map (TTM) was recorded on October 31, 1979. Conditions for TTM 27025 provide that development on the project site be limited to no more than 35 units and a minimum of 103 parking spaces.

The project applicant proposes to develop the project site with no more than 35 condominium units (with accessory housekeeping space) pursuant to a previous Tentative Tract Map (TTM) approval. The 202,616 square foot high-rise residential building would be 21 stories in height or 301 feet tall. 52.8 percent or 13,203 square feet of the existing vacant lot would be developed with the proposed high-rise building. The remaining 47.2 percent or 11,814 square feet of the project site would consist of open space. Parking would be provided on-site for 103 vehicles in a three level subterranean parking structure. Total grading would consist of approximately 38,600 square feet of soil.

Although the proposed project is within the Corridor Specific Plan area, it is exempted from the Corridor Specific Plan’s provisions. The Corridor Specific Plan does not apply to a project, if a tract map application for a project was filed for City approval during the period of July 25, 1972 and June 5, 1980, (Ordinance 155,044, Section 14.A). The Tract Map application for the proposed project was filed in 1977 and therefore is exempt from the provisions of the Corridor Specific Plan.
