Please join us for an Area 7, Business and Transportation Joint meeting to review and discuss updated plans for the 7500 Sunset Blvd project.
The project has been changed due to community feedback and input from Council District 4 (David Ryu). The Final Environmental Impact Report can be seen at https://planning.lacity.org/eir/7500Sunset/FEIR/index.html, but please note that the design shown in the FEIR is not the most recent version.
The original project proposed the development of 236 residential dwelling units above 30,000 square feet of ground-floor neighborhood-serving retail and restaurant uses. These new uses, which comprised approximately 210,288 square feet of floor area, were proposed to be located on two adjacent sites (referred to as the West Site and the East Site) that together comprise approximately 1.64 acres. The West Building was proposed to include approximately 127,050 square feet of floor area, with a 3:1 floor area ratio (FAR). The East Building was proposed to include approximately 83,238 total square feet of floor area, with a 3:1 FAR. The East Building would be 65 feet in height, while the West Building would be 66 feet 9 inches at its highest point. To provide for the new uses, approximately 39,939 square feet of existing low-rise commercial uses and surface parking areas would be removed.
The latest version of the project includes 202 residential dwelling units above the same amount of ground-floor retail and restaurant space. The mix of residential unit types has been adjusted to include fewer studios and 1 bedrooms and more 2 and 3 bedroom units for families. The exterior design of the buildings has been changed to brick and stone and additional trees have been added. In addition, the 5th floor has been further stepped back to 30 feet from Sunset Blvd to reduce the overall massing of the project. The FAR has been reduced to 2.86.
