City Planning Commission approves mixed-use building at 361 N. La Brea Ave. in Fairfax

As part of its consent agenda, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission has approved plans to redevelop car rental business in the Fairfax neighborhood with a mixed-use apartment building.

The proposed project from Samuel Einhorn of 361 North La Brea, LLC, filed last September with the City of Los Angeles, would rise at 361 N. La Brea Avenue. Plans call for the construction of a new six-story building featuring 40 one- and two-bedroom apartments above approximately 2,100 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and parking for 16 vehicles.

City Planning Commission approval was required for the issuance of density bonus incentives to permit a larger structure than otherwise allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, four apartments would be set aside for rent as affordable housing at the very low-income level.

Architect Edward Carlson is designing the proposed podium-type building, which would be clad in white stucco and include a central courtyard.

The project site, located at the southwest corner of Oakwood and La Brea Avenues, sits just south of a property at La Brea and Melrose Avenue where a similar project with 66 apartments is planned.
