A 1940s single-family home near the Van Nuys Metrolink Station is set to make way for affordable housing, according to an application submitted last week to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.
The proposed project - which comes from applicant Tal Hassid of the entity Western Imperial 2000, LLC - calls for the construction of a new six-story edifice featuring 97 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments.
Requested entitlements include density bonus incentives to allow a larger structure than zoning rules would otherwise permit. The application also relies on the state bills AB 2334 and AB 2097 to permit unlimited density and to eliminate any required parking.
California Development & Design is designing the project, which is portrayed in plans as a contemporary podium-type building which conforms to the long, narrow dimensions of the project site.
In addition to being located a short walk from the Van Nuys Metrolink Station, the project will also sit in close proximity to a future stop on the East San Fernando Valley light rail line, which is slated to break ground next year within the median of nearby Van Nuys Boulevard.
