A surface parking lot located just south of the 101 Freeway in Woodland Hills is up for redevelopment with apartments, per an application submitted yesterday to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

Elevation for 19923 W. Ventura BoulevardAaron Brumer & Associates

Dan Hosseini, the applicant behind the project at 19923 W. Ventura Boulevard, is seeking city approvals for the construction of a new six-story building featuring 54 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above approximately 1,250 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Plans also call for a parking garage with capacity for 41 vehicles.

Requested entitlements include density bonus incentives to permit a larger building with less parking than allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, six of the new apartments would be set aside for rent as deed-restricted affordable housing at the very low-income level.

Aaron Brumer & Associates is designing 19923 Ventura, which is depicted in plans as a contemporary podium-type building with an O-shaped footprint. Planned amenities include a central courtyard and a pair of rooftop decks.

While Ventura Boulevard has seen relatively little in the way of new housing in recent decades, new zoning rules now being contemplated by planning officials could bring multifamily buildings to the corridor. Some developers are looking to get a head start on that process, such as California Landmark Group, which recently proposed a 578-unit apartment complex for a site at 21241 Ventura Boulevard.
