Draft Environmental Impact Report
Project Description: The Project Site consists of multiple lots totaling 46,877 square feet (1.076 acres). The Project Site contains 11,672 square feet of existing on-site development, and a 60-space surface parking lot. Additionally, a 2,963 square feet existing outdoor landscaped area is located on-site. There is also a temporary vegetable garden, the Cook’s Garden, at 1033 Abbot Kinney Boulevard and a temporary private pop-up park at 1021½ Abbot Kinney Boulevard. The Applicant proposes to demolish a portion of the existing uses and the final development at the Project Site would be a 70,310 square-foot mixed use development, including 58,638 net new square feet of development, and 13,389 square feet of open space (10,426 square feet of net new open space). The Project would consist of a three-story building with a maximum height of 30 feet, a floor area ratio of 1.5:1, 175 parking spaces in a three level underground garage and 56 bicycle spaces.
Anticipated Environmental Effects: Based on the analysis included in the Draft EIR, the Project would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to: historic resources and noise and vibration during construction. All other potential impacts would be less than significant or mitigated to less-than-significant levels.
