The Los Angeles City Council has voted to uphold the approval of a proposed mixed-use development in Venice, rejecting a neighbor's appeal which sought to block the project's construction.

The proposal from local developer Jason Teague and Brittany DeBeikes, approved by the City Planning Commission in March for a site at 1410-1422 S. Main Street, calls for the construction of a new five-story building featuring 20 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with 3,676 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and parking for 28 vehicles.

In exchange for density bonus incentives permitting a larger building than otherwise allowed at this location, the project will be required to provide four of the apartments as affordable housing at the very low-income level.

Venice-based m_Royce Architecture is designing the proposed development, which would include a rooftop terrace deck and an exterior clad in perforated metal screening.

The appeal, which was filed by a neighboring resident, argued that the project's approval should be subject to further environmental review due to potential impacts to traffic congestion, and recommended preservation of the existing buildings in lieu of new construction. The Council's Planning Committee previously considered the appeal, and recommended that the full Council uphold the Planning Commission's decision.
