Our dynamic 66-unit, 4-story apartment building at Melrose and La Brea is with the City for Plan Check. It’s a big step in getting this Transit Oriented Development one step closer to being built.
This project highlights an idiosyncrasy in Los Angeles’ zoning code. When a residential building includes commercial uses, it limits the number of allowable stories. In this case with the TOC bonus, the building would have been limited to three. However, if it’s 100% residential you are only limited by building height. This allowed our team to design one extra story for this project. That's one story taller than if it were a mixed-use project at the same site.
