CENTRAL AVENUE MIXED-USE PROJECT EIR

CENTRAL AVENUE MIXED-USE PROJECT EIR

The Project Site has a General Plan designation of DSP (Downtown Specific Plan) and is zoned DSP/OC (Downtown Specific Plan/Orange Central District). The Mixed-Use Building Site is developed with a 176,629 square-foot three-story retail building, a 164,308 square-foot three-level parking structure, and a small asphalt surface parking on North Central Avenue. This site includes a north-south alley that runs between the retail building and the parking structure. The Mixed-Use Building Site is almost entirely paved with minimal landscaping and the public sidewalk contains some mature street trees along the Project Site boundary. The proposed Project includes the proposed demolition of the existing structures and site improvements and construction of a new 8-story, 655,418 square-foot, mixed-use development including 666 multi-family residential dwellings units (15% reserved as affordable), 16 live/work units, and 930 parking space garage (one above grade and two levels subterranean) on the Mixed Use Building Site. The Potential Public Park Site, for future development of a public park, is currently developed with two vehicle repair buildings totaling 15,933 square-feet and associated surface parking; the site is almost entirely paved and contains minimal landscaping. The design for the public park has not been developed at this time. The public park would comply with the urban design standards set forth by the City, including the City’s Municipal Code, General Plan, and Downtown Specific Plan. Development of the site as park would require the demolition of the existing structures and surface parking. Construction of the Project would occur over an approximately 4-year period and include two phases. The first phase would include demolition of the existing structures on site improvements, and development of the proposed Mixed-Use Building on the Mixed Use Building Site to the east of the alley. The first phase includes development of 344 multi-family residential units (27 studios, 248 1-bedroom, 68 2-bedrooms, 1 3-bedrooms), 9 live/work units, and ground-floor retail. The second phase would include development of 322 multi-family residential units (10 studios, 245 1-bedroom, and 67 2-bedrooms), and 7 live/work units on the Mixed Use Building Site to the west of the alley. The park may be developed in the first or second phase of construction.
