Project Description: The 1000 Seward Project includes demolition of two existing commercial buildings totaling 10,993 square feet and a surface parking lot, and the development of a 10-story commercial building on a 34,152 square-foot (0.78-acre) site located at 1000 and 1006 Seward Street; 1003, 1007, and 1013 Hudson Avenue; and 6565 Romaine Street (Project Site) in the Hollywood Community Plan Area of the City. The Project would include the development of new office, restaurant, and retail uses totaling 150,600 square feet. Specifically, the Project would develop 136,200 square feet of office uses, 12,200 square feet of restaurant uses (of which 6,100 square feet may be used for an entertainment use), and 2,200 square feet of retail uses. The proposed uses would be located within a single 10-story building (with an additional rooftop level for mechanical equipment and an outdoor entertainment/tenant terrace) with a maximum height of 133 feet to the top of the highest occupiable level and a maximum height of 155 feet to the top of the mechanical equipment level. In accordance with the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC), the Project would provide 310 vehicular parking spaces and 58 bicycle parking spaces (36 long-term and 22 short-term) within four subterranean parking levels, one at-grade level, and three fully enclosed and mechanically ventilated above grade parking levels. Upon completion of either option, the Project would result in 150,600 square feet of floor area within the Project Site with a floor area ratio (FAR) of 4.4:1.
ANTICIPATED SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS:
Based on the analyses provided in Section IV, Environmental Impact Analysis, of this Draft EIR, implementation of the Project would result in significant impacts that cannot be feasibly mitigated with respect to on- and off-site construction noise; on-site construction vibration (building damage and human annoyance); and off-site construction vibration (human annoyance). Furthermore, as evaluated in Section IV, Environmental Impact Analysis, the Project would also result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to cumulative off-site construction vibration (human annoyance). All other potential impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to less-than-significant levels.
