The project will replace a single-story, single-family residence near the intersection of Melrose Avenue and Ardmore Avenue, rising to a maximum height of 56 feet and including about 20,500 square feet of floor area. It will contain five one-bedrooms and 11 three-bedrooms, with two units reserved for very low-income households.

Approvals granted this week include Tier-2 project bonuses under the city’s Transit Oriented Communities Incentive Program. As a result, the development will move forward with designs that include a 60-percent density bonus and 11-foot height increase (to 56 feet).

Plans also call for one level of underground parking with 15 spaces accessed via a single driveway on Ardmore Avenue near the pedestrian entrance.

Raeen is joined by other companies including land-use consultant nūr – Development | Consulting, planning documents show.

The LLC linked to Raeen acquired the project site in August for about $1.1 million, according to Los Angeles County property data.

Also called for in the design for the North Ardmore Avenue project is 2,554 square feet of open space, including a recreation room, fifth-floor terrace, rear yard, and 16 private balconies.
