Affordable Housing Development Planned near Van Nuys Metrolink Station
An application has been submitted to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning for the development of affordable housing near the Van Nuys Metrolink Station. The proposed project, submitted by Western Imperial 2000, LLC, calls for the construction of a new six-story building with 97 apartments of various sizes.
Emphasis on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Goal 1: No Poverty
- Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
The project seeks density bonus incentives to allow for a larger structure than zoning rules would typically permit. It also relies on state bills AB 2334 and AB 2097 to permit unlimited density and eliminate the requirement for parking.
California Development & Design Inc. has been tasked with designing the project, which will be a contemporary podium-type building that fits the long, narrow dimensions of the site.
Location and Accessibility
The development is conveniently located within walking distance of the Van Nuys Metrolink Station. It will also be in close proximity to a future stop on the East San Fernando Valley light rail line, which is set to break ground next year on Van Nuys Boulevard.
