A collection of small residential buildings located just west of Crenshaw Boulevard in Hyde Park could be razed and redevelopment with a larger apartment complex, according to an application submitted last month to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

The proposed project, slated for properties located at 6313-6323 S. Brynhurst Avenue, is describe in a case filing as a five-story building which would feature 50 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments above ground-floor parking for 26 vehicles.

Project applicant Farbod Shadpour of 6319 Brynhurst Ave, LLC is seeking the approval of Transit Oriented Communities incentives to permit the construction of a larger building than would typically be allowed by zoning rules. In exchange, five of the new apartments would be set aside for rent as extremely low-income housing, partially offsetting the eight existing dwellings that would be demolished.

GA Engineering is designing 6313 Brynhurst, which is portrayed in renderings as a contemporary podium-type building clad in painted stucco and fiber cement boards. Besides housing, plans call for a recreation room on the ground-floor and a central courtyard.

The new development would rise a short walk north from a similar multifamily residential complex recently built with prefabricated modular units at 6559 Brynhurst Avenue. The site is also located near both Crenshaw and West Boulevard, where a number of new income-restricted and permanent supportive housing complexes have recently been built.
