The Los Angeles City Council denied the CEQA appeal filed by Supporters Alliance for Environmental Responsibility (SAFER), sustaining the Los Angeles City Planning Commission's approval of a Categorical Exemption for the project. This development involves the demolition of two commercial structures and a nursery to construct a new seven-story, 153-unit mixed-use apartment building. The building will include 16 units reserved for Extremely Low Income households, commercial space totaling 4,800 square feet, a Floor Area Ratio of 3.41:1, 207 vehicular parking spaces, and 119 bicycle parking spaces.
This project enhances residential and commercial space in a key area of Los Angeles while addressing affordable housing needs. It supports urban infill development and aligns with zoning and environmental guidelines.
