RESISTANCE WATCH—Email Councilmember Paul Koretz! Send a message to his deputy today! [AVIV KLEINMAN ](mailto:aviv.kleinman@lacity.org)
EXPLAIN WHY YOU OPPOSE a small two-story retail and office building at 16161 Ventura Blvd in Encino will be demolished and replaced by a seven story (six levels plus mezzanine) high rise 114-unit apartment complex with two underground parking levels. The more emails he receives the better. Only you can help stop excessive development in Encino on our main artery – Ventura Blvd. It is important you email [AVIV KLEINMAN](mailto:aviv.kleinman@lacity.org) TODAY!
PROJECT DETAILS: The project seeks to replaces a two-story building on the north side of Ventura Blvd. with a seven-story building with 114 apartments and have live work spaces on the bottom floor. The project will not have enough parking for the tenants. Developer has proposed less than 1 parking space per unit.
The applicant has requested density bonus incentives for the development, which will contain 11 “low income” housing units. The applicant seeks to waive the 5-foot dedication and improvements along Ventura Boulevard, as required per the Mobility 2035 Plan and Ventura Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan.
All traffic will enter and exit directly on to or off Ventura Blvd. in the middle of the block. The project will increase traffic at Hayvenhurst, Libbit, Woodley, Haskell and other intersections!
The project will make parking spaces harder to find and overflow from their inadequate parking lot will mean tenants will be parking their cars overnight on Woodley, Libbet and Morrison. Address: 16161 VENTURA BL., ENCINO.
