The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a six-story, 54-unit mixed-use Studio City apartment development near the intersection of Ventura Boulevard and Radford Avenue, according to a determination letter posted by the city last month.
The 57,829-square-foot development will replace an auto repair shop at 4021 Radford Ave. owned by project applicant Rafi Kuyumjian, according to planning documents. The latest project plans call for four studio apartments, 27 one-bedrooms, 18 two-bedrooms, and five three-bedrooms, all over 3,374 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and two levels of underground parking.
Approvals given last month include Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s Transit Oriented Communities Incentive Program, including a two-story height increase, a 20-percent density bonus, and a 25-percent reduction in required open space to just under 5,000 square feet. The developer will reserve six apartments for extremely low-income households in accordance with the TOC program, plans show.
The project will provide 77 automobile parking spaces and 44 bicycle spaces.
Designs for the planned development, which is named Radford Place in application documents, are being led by Sam Aslanian Architect. They call for indoor cafe space fronting Radford Avenue to the south and another 1,500 square feet or so of retail space at the southwestern corner of the Radford Avenue and Hoffman Street intersection.
