A property abutting the G Line busway in Van Nuys could make way for an Executive Directive 1 affordable housing development, according to a new application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed project from ETZ Development, slated for a site at 6100 Hazeltine Avenue, calls for the construction of a seven-story edifice featuring 72 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.

The scale and density of the project relies on density bonus incentives to permit a larger structure than zoning rules would otherwise allow. With the exception of a single manager's apartment, all of the new housing would be restricted to rent by low- and moderate-income households.

Architect Jamie Matz is designing 6100 Hazeltine, which is shown in renderings as a contemporary low-rise structure.

The project site is located east of the Van Nuys Civic Center, where multiple city-owned properties have been pitched as potential sites for similar affordable housing developments, and next to the G Line's at-grade crossing of Hazeltine Avenue, which will add crossing gates as part of a $668-million upgrade to the busway that broke ground earlier this year.
