The site of a recently shuttered fast food restaurant in Rancho Park is set to give way to a mixed-use apartment building, according to a recent filing with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed development from RBM of California, slated for a corner lot at 10990 W. Pico Boulevard, calls for demolishing the former restaurant to clear the way for the construction of a new seven-story building containing 85 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above 3,268 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and parking for 72 vehicles.

Requested entitlements include Opportunity Corridor incentives to permit a larger structure than otherwise allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, 15 of the new apartments are to be set aside for rent by very low-income households.

Kevin Tsai Architecture is designing 10990 Pico, which is portrayed as a contemporary podium-type building, clad in stucco and accented with wood. Plans call for a rooftop amenity deck.

The project site is one of a growing number of new developments pitched for this stretch of Pico Boulevard, joining a 207-unit mixed-income development slated for a long-vacant parcel located across the street and another which recently opened next to the former Westside Pavilion (which is to become UCLA's Research Park).

RBM of CA, a subsidiary of the Japanese real estate investment firm Residence Building Management Co., has also developed mixed-use projects in the Mid-Wilshire and Palms neighborhoods. The company is currently building an apartment building just west of the 405 Freeway in Sawtelle and another on Westwood Boulevard.
