A 1920s single-family home in Van Nuys could make way for an Executive Directive 1 affordable housing development, per a recently application to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
ES MBN Investment Properties, LLC, listed as the owner of the site at 14717 W. Victory Boulevard, is seeking city approvals for the construction of a new five-story building featuring 24 studio and one-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.
The plan 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.
GA Engineering is designing the proposed project, which is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building.
The project site is located a short distance northwest of the Van Nuys Civic Center, where multiple city-owned properties have been pitched as potential sites for similar affordable housing developments.
