A narrow property located just west of Belmont High School is set for redevelopment with affordable housing, per a new application submitted to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The project, which is being developed by Safe Harbor Housing, would rise from a property located at 160 S. Union Place. Plans call for razing seven existing homes to clear the way for the construction of a new seven-story structure featuring 91 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments without on-site parking.

Requested approvals include development bonuses using the Citywide Housing Incentives to permit a larger structure than zoning rules would otherwise allow. The project will be set aside for low- and moderate-income renters, save for a market-rate manager's unit.

Commun is designing the project, which is portrayed in a rendering as a contemporary podium-type building.

The project site is located a few blocks to the east of the recently-completed Belle on Bev apartments by Cityview.
