Summary
Gerard Ngo has submitted entitlement applications requesting to develop a new
residential /commercial mixed use development. The project consists of the demolition
of all existing structures to construct a five -story, mixed use development with 15,553
square feet of retail /restaurant space on the basement/first and second floors and 60
residential units on the third through fifth floors, comprising 54,609 square feet, for a
total built area of 70,162 square feet. Parking is proposed as a combination of surface
and two stories of subterranean basement parking. The City is proposing to participate
by vacating the existing public alley that bisects the site. Access to the proposed
project will be provided via the rear of the structure with one entrance each on Del Mar
Avenue and Brighton Street. The project also includes a density bonus application
under Senate Bill (SB) 1818, which amended the state bonus law to allow density
bonuses up to 35 %. The property is located at the northeast corner of Del Mar Avenue
and Garvey Avenue in the C -3 (Medium Commercial) zone.
A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the project was
distributed for a 20 -day public review and comment period from May 21, 2014 to June 9,
2014. During the review period, staff received comments from several agencies. Due
to the extent of the comments received from the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
( LACDPW), it is requested that this item is continued to a future Planning Commission
date.
Staff Recommendation
The Planning Commission continue this public hearing item to a date uncertain. The
continuance will allow the Planning Division, Applicant, and Environmental Consultant to
work with Caltrans and LACDPW to ensure that all reviewing agencies deem the MIND
acceptable.
