The Los Angeles planning department has approved plans for a six-story, 17-unit apartment project in the Palms neighborhood, according to a determination letter posted this month by the city.
The new community will replace a two-story, three-unit multifamily building at the northeastern corner of the intersection of National Boulevard and Kelton Avenue, providing two studio apartments, seven one-bedrooms, and eight two-bedrooms, plans show.
The owners and applicants behind the plans are listed as Nenad and Masa Sekulic and Kresimir Corak, who are joined by project architect MAKE Architecture and landscape architect Fiore Landscape Design in the planned development.
Approvals given this month allow for Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, including a 70-percent, or seven-unit, density bonus, as well as a reduced minimum parking ratio to half a space per unit. Per TOC incentives, which also allow for a 22-foot height increase to 67 feet, the community will include two units reserved for extremely low-income households.
The project will provide nine parking spaces in a one-level underground garage with an automated car lift.
Plans also call for about 1,575 square feet of open space, including private decks in 15 of the units, a roughly 400-square-foot recreation room, and a roughly 400-square-foot rooftop common area.
