The Los Angeles Planning Commission on Thursday gave unanimous approvals to the Reese Davidson Community, a 140-unit affordable housing project planned along Venice‘s Grand Canal. The project is being developed by Hollywood Community Housing Corp. and Venice Community Housing Corp.
The commissioners’ vote follows months of vociferous support for and against the project by different Venetian residents. Earlier this month, the Venice Neighborhood Council voted to oppose the development.
Now moved forward, the project is slated to offer 136 units for low-income households and four managers’ units. Plans call for 68 units for homeless individuals, 34 for low-income artists, and another 34 for other low-income households.
The latest plans also involve 685 square feet of supportive services, 2,255 square feet of retail uses, an 810-square-foot restaurant with 1,060 square feet of indoor and outdoor service floor area, and 2,875 square feet of art studio space.
The Eric Owen Moss Architects-designed project consists of two main structures: a 36,157-square-foot portion west of the town’s Grand Canal and a 67,800-square-foot portion east of Grand Canal. Designs call for both sides of the project to be three stories and be served by 136 bicycle parking spaces and 357 automobile parking spaces to serve future residents, patrons, and other users.
