PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 6200 Sunset, LLC, the Applicant, proposes to develop a mixed-use project that would provide 270 residential units, approximately 12,420 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial retail and restaurant uses, and a minimum of 361 vehicle parking spaces in the Hollywood Community of the City of Los Angeles. Of the 12,420 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial uses, up to 10,000 square feet may be used for restaurant uses. Overall, the new building would comprise approximately 243,315 square feet of floor area. The proposed uses would be located within a seven-story building with ground level and subterranean parking below. The maximum height of the building would be 92 feet. The proposed floor area ratio (FAR) would be approximately 4.5:1. To provide for the new uses, approximately 22,029 square feet of low-rise commercial strip center uses and surface parking would be removed.
