The proposed development, slated for a site at 733 S. Burlington Avenue, comes from applicant Jong Tae Kim of 733 S. Burlington, LLC. Plans call for the for razing the existing improvements - built between the late 19th century and the 1930s - to clear the way for the construction of a new seven-story building featuring 79 studio and one-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.

Requested approvals include density bonus incentives (including increased density via AB 2334) to permit a larger structure than allowed by zoning rules. The project is eligible for incentives as all of the proposed apartments would be rented by low- and moderate-income households.

Kevin Tsai Architecture is designing the proposed building, which would be clad in smooth plaster and include a rooftop deck.
