The Los Angeles City Planning Commission has voted to uphold the approval of a proposal which would redevelop Toyota of Hollywood with a mixed-use complex featuring housing and offices.

The project at 6000 Hollywood Boulevard, which spans 3.7 acres, is slated for the construction of of high-rise and low-rise structures featuring  350 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments, 136,000 square feet of offices, and approximately 22,500 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. A project website also indicates that Houston-based developer Hines is part of the development team.

“Our family has watched Hollywood grow and change for decades,” said Mike Sullivan, the president and chief executive officer of LA CarGuy, which owns Toyota of Hollywood. “Being part of this next major chapter is deeply meaningful to us. We want to help make sure this community continues to be a place that future generations are proud to call home.”

Project entitlements would include bonus incentives to allow more floor area than normally permitted by zoning rules. In exchange, plans call for 44 of the new apartments to be set aside for rent as affordable housing at the very low-income level.

OfficeUntitled is designing 6000 Hollywood, which would include a 35-story, 419-foot-tall residential tower anchoring the eastern side of the property, a six-story office building to the west, and low-rise residential structures in between which are likened to a village-type environment. The project site also includes frontage on Carlton Way, where a smaller apartment complex is proposed.

Interspersed among the buildings would be roughly 23,500 square feet of publicly accessible open space, including a new plaza fronting Hollywood Boulevard. Relm is serving as the project's landscape architect.

The project's hearing before the Planning Commission was to consider two appeals lodged against the project, one by the coalition of labor unions known as CREED LA, and the other by an adjacent property owner. CREED LA argued that the project's environmental impact report has failed to consider several potential hazards that could impact future site occupants, while the abutting property owner urged the Commission to block the project due to its potential to obscure a cell tower and billboard on the appellant's site. A staff report recommended denial of both appeals.

Against that, the business organizations such as the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, as well as building trades unions such as the Western States Regional Council of Carpenters, spoke in support of the project.
