Aragon (Sunset/Everett) Properties Corporation (the “Applicant”) proposes the construction of a mixed-use residential and commercial development with 327 residential units that include 41 Very Low Income affordable units and approximately 9,462 square feet of ground-floor commercial space for a total floor area of 321,300 square feet, resulting in a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 3:1. The Project would consist of two buildings as follows: 1) Building A, located along Sunset Boulevard, would be seven stories with have a maximum building height of 91 feet as measured from grade and 85 feet as measured from Plumb Height; 2) Building B, located at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Everett Street, would be seven stories with have a maximum height of 86 feet as measured from grade and 81.5 feet as measured from Plumb Height. The Project would provide 24,540 square feet of open space, consisting of indoor amenities, roof decks, courtyards, and balconies, and 17,025 square feet of other open space not included in the common open space calculation for a total of 41,565 square feet of open space. The Project would include 13 studio units, 230 one-bedroom units, 79 two-bedroom units, and 5 three-bedroom units. Six of the units on the ground floor along Sunset Boulevard in Building A would be live/work units. The Project would provide 263 on-site parking spaces at one subterranean, one partially subterranean, and one at-ground/ and above-grade levels to be shared amongst all of the uses on the Project Site. Vehicular access to the structured parking would be provided via two stop-controlled driveways and one signalized driveway.
