Title

Ocean Avenue Project

Description

Final EIR. The proposed Project comprises the redevelopment of an approximately 82,500 square foot (sf) site with approximately 122,400 square feet (sf) of fullservice hotel space with up to 120 guestrooms, meeting and banquet rooms, and a hotel spa; 100 residential apartment units (including deed-restricted affordable units, replacement rent-controlled units, and market rate units); 36,110 sf of restaurant (including outdoor dining areas) and retail uses; and a 35,500-sf Cultural Use Campus (e.g., museum, gallery, event space). The proposed Project also includes three underground levels providing a subterranean parking garage with capacity for up to approximately 285 vehicles as well as 231 bicycle parking spaces with longterm storage available in the subterranean parking garage. The proposed Project would construct five new buildings onsite that would range in maximum height from 53 feet to 130 feet (excluding permitted rooftop projections) as well as adaptively reuse two existing City-designated Landmarks for a total Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.95 and a total above-grade building floor area of approximately 243,630 sf with an additional 4,940 sf of outdoor dining. The proposed Project includes 40,920 sf of open space to promote an active pedestrian environment. The proposed hotel would be located along Ocean Avenue and would feature an approximately 5,070-sf publiclyaccessible rooftop observation deck providing panoramic views of the Downtown, Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica Mountains, Palisades Park, Santa Monica State Beach, and the Pacific Ocean. In addition to the publicly-accessible rooftop observation deck, three ground floor pedestrian-only paseos, a ground floor publicly-accessible courtyard in front of the Cultural Use Campus, and widened sidewalks along Ocean Avenue, 2nd Street, and Santa Monica Boulevard would provide public open space.
