Document Description
The proposed project consists of the development of a new Caltrans Disrict 7 headquarters building containing approximately 716,200 gross square feet of office space and parking for as many as 1,142 vehicles. The new headquarters building would be located on the block bounded by 1st, Los Angeles 2nd, and Main Streets and would accommodate an estimated 1,837 Caltrans employees and 564 City of Los Angeles Department of Transportation employees. The north end of the project site is occupied by several one and two-story commercial buildings and the Latino Museum of History, Art, and Culture, which has been closed for a number of months. The remaining two-thirds of the block is occupied by an existing Caltrans employee parking lot. St. Vibiana's Cathedral is located south of the project site and City Hall is located to the northwest. To execute the proposed project, the City of Los Angeles and State of California would have to reach an agreement upon a land exchange whereby the City would acquire the privately owned parcels along 1st Street on the block that encompasses the project site and exchange those properties for the existing Caltrans headquarters building property. The City is also proposing to acquire the privately owned properties on the block that contains the existing Caltrans headquarters building as part of the proposed project. These properties are located on the south side of 1st Street, between Spring and Main Streets.
