Document Description
The 7022 Sunset Boulevard Project (the Project) is located at 7014-7022 West Sunset Boulevard and 1438-1446 North Sycamore Avenue (Project Site) in the Hollywood community of the City of Los Angeles (City). The Project Site is 28,919 square feet (sf). The Project Site is currently developed with a 6,690- sf adult day care facility built in 1963 (7014 Sunset Boulevard), a 6,633-sf, one-story vacant commercial building built in 1932 (7022 Sunset Boulevard), and a surface parking lot (1444 North Sycamore Avenue). The Project would demolish the existing on-site structures to construct a seven-story building with 112 residential dwelling units (42 studios, 61 one-bedrooms, and 9 two-bedrooms) and 2,875 sf of retail space
on the ground floor over one level of partially underground parking and one level of ground level parking.
The Project would have a total floor area of approximately 91,665 sf. The Project would include 12 very low-income units, 99 market rate units and one manager's unit (112 units total). The Project would
provide 60 automobile parking spaces (47 residential automobile parking spaces and 13 commercial automobile parking spaces) and 93 bicycle parking spaces (83 long term bicycle stalls plus 10 short term spaces). Currently, there are four trees on the Project Site including a Mulberry tree (Marus spp), Italian alder (Alnus cordata), Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia), and Ficus (Ficus elastica).1 There are two street trees; the one on Sycamore Avenue is a Camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), and the one on Sunset Boulevard
is a Mexican fan palm (Washingtonia robusta). None of these six trees is a native tree that is protected by the LAMC Protected Tree Ordinance No. 177404. The Project would retain the two existing street trees and would remove the four existing on-site trees. The Project assumes a worst-case scenario of removing all street trees, in the event of changes to the right--of-way improvement plans after approval of the environmental clearance. However, this environmental analysis does not authorize the removal of any street trees without prior approval of Urban Forestry, in compliance with LAMC Sections 62.169 and 62.170 and their applicable findings. The Project proposes to plant 29 trees of varying species within and
around the exterior of the Project Site and along North Sycamore Avenue.
The Project would provide 15,064 sf of open space, including 1,650 sf of open space in the form of balconies attached to the residential uses and 13,414 sf of common open space for the residents. The
Project proposes 91,665 sf of floor area over 24,726 sf of combined buildable area, which constitutes an average FAR of 3.71:1. Project construction would occur over approximately 20 months, with construction beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and ending in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Project is anticipated to be operational in 2027. The Project will include 11,000 cubic yards (cy) of cut, with no fill and will include 11,000 cy of export.
