GP: Regional Center Commercial.
Z: Commercial Uses with a height and bulk designation of 4D (C2-4D).

Document Description
The project consists of approximately 3.2 million gross square feet of residential, office, hotel and retail uses in four high rise buildings with associated parking and open space in downtown Los Angeles. The project would include 836 residential units and a 480 room hotel. The maximum building height would be up to 620 feet above the existing grade exclusive of antennas and other rooftop mechanical equipment. Parking would be provided in excess of code requirements within a five-story parking podium with one at-grade level, four above-grade levels, and from one to four subterranean levels varying by phase. The potential environmental effects of the project have been the subject of a certified Final EIR, an Addendum approved in 2000. The project was approved by the CRA in October 2005 and by the City of Los Angeles in December 2005 and February 2006. In July 2006, the Los Angeles Superior Court considered a CEQA challenge to the project's approval and upheld the 2005 Addendum in all respects except one: the analysis of police services. The Order required clarification of the potential effect of a new residential component of the project on police services, and explanation of the effectiveness of proposed mitigation measures. The Draft SEIR has been prepared to fulfill the requirements of the Court Order and therefore focuses only on an analysis of potential impacts on polices services.
