At its October 10 meeting, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission gave the go-ahead to two projects which would bring more than 60 apartments to sites in the Glassell Park and Mid-City communities.

The first project, approved as part of the Commission's consent calendar, is slated to replace a church at 4002 N. Verdugo Road. Project applicant Khajak Harootun of KAS Verdugo, LLC has proposed the construction of a new three-story building which would feature 14 studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments above 1,071 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 24-car garage.
Entitlements approved by the City Planning Commission relate to density bonus incentives and waivers, for which the developer will be required to set aside two apartments for rent by low-income households. Nonetheless, the proposed project would be built to less than the 35 homes the site's zoning might allow.
