Located at 2121 Westwood Boulevard, the proposed development would replace four commercial buildings and a surface parking lot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rendering:\u00a0DE Architects AIA<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Plans call for 26 studios, 76 one-bedroom units, five two-bedroom units, and two three-bedroom units ranging from approximately 450 to 1,390 square feet. An attached findings document notes that \u201ceach unit is designed to maximize the light, air, and ease of access within the building.\u201d The majority of floorplans would boast a private balcony, but all would contain a full kitchen, living space, closets and well-sized bedrooms.<\/p>\n Thirteen units would be set aside for very low-income households and one unit would be reserved for an extremely low-income household. In exchange, the developer is requesting a number of Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) incentives, including a density bonus, parking reduction and height increase. The 27,018-square-foot site is close to several Big Blue Bus routes and is a 15-minute walk from the Westwood\/Rancho Park Metro Expo Line station.<\/p>\n Rendering:\u00a0DE Architects AIA<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n A large entry lobby along Westwood Avenue would incorporate a mailroom, secure package area, and a bike storage room with space for 40 bicycles. The ground floor would also feature a fitness room, business center, recreation room, and a landscaped, open-air courtyard.<\/p>\n Additional outdoor space would be found on the roof deck, outfitted with dining tables, lounge seating, fire pits, barbecues, a green wall with an outdoor TV, zen water feature, and a synthetic grassy area for pets.<\/p>\n Rendering:\u00a0DE Architects AIA<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n A total of 128 parking spaces would be provided within a subterranean garage. Thirty percent of the spaces would be pre-wired for electric vehicle charging, and ten percent would come with installed charging stations. There would be 80 long-term bicycle parking spaces, located in the P1 garage level and behind the ground-floor lobby.<\/p>\n Rendering:\u00a0DE Architects AIA<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
