Project Description:
The proposed project involves the development and occupation of 47 residential units on the 327 Harbor Site, the adoption of the OSP Specific Plan to guide redevelopment of the OSP Specific Plan Site, the phased demolition of existing structures on the OSP Specific Plan Site, and the construction of up to 1,553 residential units on the OSP Specific Plan Site, as well as 85,000 sf of Neighborhood Serving Uses and 45,000 sf of commercial retail uses on the OSP Specific Plan Site. The 85,000 sf of Neighborhood Serving Uses would be primarily for the benefit of the residents of the proposed project and/or residents of the immediate neighborhood and are typically required for the needs of the future residents. These uses include, but are not limited to, a property management office, community rooms, social service offices, social hall, workforce development office, health clinic, wellness center, business incubator, nonprofit offices, and municipal offices. Neighborhood Serving Uses also would include small-scale retail not exceeding 3,000 sf in size that would provide goods and services to future residents to meet typical needs, such as dry cleaners, flower shops, small convenience stores, and bakeries. The 45,000-sf commercial retail component of the proposed project would include businesses larger than 3,000 sf such as restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies. In addition, the proposed project would include a variety of public open space amenities, including a linear park along Palos Verdes Street, a community center, a youth sports field, a pedestrian street along 2nd Street from Palos Verdes Street to Harbor Boulevard, and several courtyards and plazas interspersed throughout the proposed buildings. In total, approximately 5.3 acres of public open space would be provided on the OSP Specific Plan Site. Parking on the site would include a mix of street parking and one- to two-level underground parking structures beneath the proposed buildings.
Construction of the OSP Specific Plan includes three Phases and four Subareas. The phasing of the proposed project is planned to minimize disturbance to current residents on the OSP Specific Plan Site. The proposed project would pursue a build-first approach. When residents must be relocated, HACLA would adhere to all requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. Resident relocation would be guided by the One San Pedro Relocation Plan, which, once adopted by the HACLA Board of Commissioners, would set forth procedures to assure the fair, uniform, and equitable treatment of persons displaced from their homes when development occurs.
