An Orange County developer is once again attempting to build a new condominium complex in the unincorporated community of View Park-Windsor Hills.
In 2017, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted a mitigated negative declaration for the View at Overhill, a proposed development near the intersection of La Brea Avenue and Overhill Drive. Plans called for the construction of a five-story, 65-foot-tall building on a currently vacant lot, consisting of 88 one-, two- and three-bedroom dwellings, residential amenities, and parking for 201 vehicles.
However, that project was upended in June 2019, when a legal challenge from the United Homeowner's Association successfully appealed the County's approval of the project to a Los ANgeles Superior Court Judge. The ruling on the project found that the mitigated negative declaration adopted by the County failed to consider potential impacts to traffic congestion in the surrounding neighborhood, and thus overturned the approval of the View at Overhill.
Now, to comply with a court order issued in October 2019, the County has initiated an environmental impact report specifically intended to address both traffic and circulation surrounding the approximately 1.8-acre development site.
A timeline is not stated in the environmental documents published by Los Angeles County.
County records list the project applicant as the Garden Grove-based entity Peak Capital Investments, LLC. Previous public presentations have linked development firm the Bedford Group and architecture firm Michael Luna & Associates to the project.
