The proposed development from property owners Roozbeh Toorani and Maryam Zavareh, slated for a property at 5922-5930 N. Buffalo Avenue, calls for razing six existing rental units to clear the way for the construction of a new five-story edifice featuring 104 stduio and one-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.
Requested approvals include density bonus incentives to waive certain zoning standards. The proposed development is eligible for incentives by reserving all apartments for low- and moderate-income renters.
KB Fard Architects is designing the building, which is portrayed in plans with a U-shaped footprint wrapping around a central courtyard at ground level.

The existing apartment complex, known as the William Mellenthin Birdhouse Apartments, is the subject of a preservation campaign. The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission took up the matter earlier this year.
