The Los Angeles City Council approved a zone change for a mixed-use project at 3216 West 8th Street and adjacent parcels, allowing for the demolition of a four-unit residential building and construction of a seven-story hotel and apartment complex. The project includes a 60-room hotel, a 5,385 square-foot restaurant, and 20 residential units, four of which are designated as affordable for Extremely Low Income Households. The development will feature three levels of subterranean parking, providing 71 automobile parking spaces and 38 bicycle spaces. The new zoning designation, (T)(Q)RAS4-1, will allow for increased density and mixed-use operations, including the sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for the hotel and restaurant. The project also requires the export of approximately 32,396 cubic yards of dirt and includes conditions related to environmental impact monitoring and compliance.
This zone change enables a high-density mixed-use development in a transit-oriented area, promoting walkability and economic activity. The project enhances the neighborhood with a hotel, residential units, and retail space while addressing affordable housing needs in Los Angeles.
