Document Description
The project is a proposal to construct a 226-unit condominium (flats and townhomes) above two-story parking garages with a centralized recreation area, tot lot, pool and club house on property currently used as surface parking for a commercial office complex. The project would also include a four to six-level parking structure to replace the loss of existing parking spaces needed for the Financial Center. The units will range in size from approximately 1,265 to 2,010 square feet and would be two and three-bedroom. There will be centralized courtyard areas with planters and walkways on top of the podium garages for both the north and south portions of the project. The project will be considered a mixed-use project and will feature pedestrian and vehicular integration with the commercial property. A Conditional Use Permit is required for condominium purposes, a Development permit because the project is within the Hawthorne Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Area (Del Amo One Subdistrict), Modification of the Financial Center entitlement (CUP65-38), a Tentative Tract Map for condominium purposes and for a lot line adjustment and a Variance to allow tandem parking.
The 226-unit condominium complex proposes a gross size of 431,533 square feet, to be located on a 5.5-acre site. The resulting density of the proposal is 41 units per acre and the residential project has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.8.
