COMPLETED PROJECT SEEN FROM SUNSWEPT DRIVE

The top of the building will be 40 feet below Sunswept Drive, well below any interference with views from neighbors on Sunswept. Security on Sunswept Drive is enhanced – the building will be manned by security 24/7 monitoring by guards of the areas under the bridge and on the remaining hillside, as well as monitoring Ventura Blvd frontage. No access to Sunswept Drive from Ventura Blvd through the property. Sunswept Drive residents will be well served, thanks to CD2 and the project managers.

Project has provided 24/7 manned security to the Sunswept Bridge since June 2019, after walking in on dealers living in our home beside the bridge.
The project also owns all of the residential property up to Sunswept.

THANK YOU TO COUNCIL DISTRICT 2 FOR PARTNERING TO CLOSE OFF ACCESS TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BRIDGE IN 2021!

16 replacement Oaks) and many toyon bushes that will be planted in the above space between Sunswept and the project, will produce a “park-like” setting seen from Sunswept, eventually the foliage cover will block almost all view from Sunswept Drive.

Landscape will include shrubs, hedges, native plants, 16 Oak trees and 212 Toyon shrubs viewed from Sunswept Drive, and an additional 63 trees and bushes at Ventura Blvd including Mexican Fan Palms & Chinese Pistache

Ventura Blvd widened five feet – Mobility Plan; 15-foot-wide sidewalk to replace existing 5-foot-wide sidewalk – new sidewalk streetscape.

All power lines on Ventura Blvd undergrounded for 500 – 800 feet. Ditto for Spectrum, Crown Castle, some AT&T. 16-18 weeks, probably at night.

Building is in two envelopes, each four floors, to follow contours of steep hill – front envelope is 25 feet tall at Ventura Blvd, then next section is set back 20 feet, then 45 feet tall; second relatively small envelope on west side is 20 feet higher, but set back 60 feet from Ventura Blvd.

Façade on Ventura is 25 feet high – think “Caruso” style

Ground floor approx. 13,900 sf restaurant and 3,500 sf retail – total of approximately 17,400 sf, second and third floors hidden parking, fourth floor and rear envelope 27 condominiums set back 20 feet from Ventura Blvd – five are Very Low Income

Approximately 7,500 sf Open Space is provided, far above 2,800 sf required, including pool deck, barbeque area, extensive courtyard with landscaping and seating areas.

154 parking spaces on second, third, and fourth floors – no public view

112 short-term and 36 long-term bicycle spaces – designed for 2071 and beyond!

Customer Station for LADWP – all underground. No vaults, no transformers. All in separate underground room we build for LADWP.

Residential Condominiums: The project includes 27 condominiums, of which 5 are for very-low-income tenants. The project is entitled to 50,440 sf / 400 = 127 residential units, more with Affordable Housing incentives. 27 condominiums suit the scope and character of this project, and complements the scope and character of the Studio City community.

At present, alleys usually have overhead utilities. In the future, and as funds allow, all utilities should be placed underground. Utility undergrounding is crucial to the visual improvement of the Boulevard. This policy extends to include major cross street intersections, parking lots, and streets crossing or abutting Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard at least to the limits of this Specific Plan.
