This offering is positioned on two (2) parcels totaling 9,986 square feet (SF) of land with a zoning ordinance of LAC2-1D where the D suffix is a limitation to the buildable area of the lot, and for conformance to the Vermont/Western Station Neighborhood Area Plan (SNAP). The property is a rare corner, double-lot along Santa Monica Boulevard with two (2) points of access for easy development. The current building is vacant, ready for immediate entitlement process under Executive Directive 1 (ED1). Under the State Density Bonus program CA Code 65915(f)(3)(a)(ii) and pursuant to ED1, the site has no maximum density when qualified as a 100% affordable development (b)(1)(G). Utilizing these guidelines, there is ample potential to design a project at almost any scale, up to around one hundred twelve (112) units while keeping the project under “high-rise” qualifications. Additionally, the site is AB 2097 eligible, meaning there is no minimum parking requirement for ED1 designs, Buyer to verify. The location carries strong market fundamentals, ranking as one of the highest LA County submarkets for apartment unit market absorption.
