234 Pico Avenue [sic] Santa Monica - Administrative Approval
You are invited to attend a virtual community meeting to review the concept design for a new mixed-use development proposed at 216-234 Pico Ave [sic]. The proposed development would replace existing commercial/office buildings. The proposed project consists of a 5-story mixed-use building across two structures including 199 residential units (including 20 deed-restricted affordable units), ground floor neighborhood-serving retail space, and 3 levels of subterranean parking with 366 total parking spaces and 301 total bicycle parking spaces. The proposed height of the project is 58 feet.
Pursuant to Interim Zoning Ordinance No. 2633 and the 12th Supplement to the Executive Order of the Director of Emergency Services Declaring a Local Emergency, prior to submittal of an Administrative Approval application, applicant shall conduct a virtual community meeting with property owners and tenant within a 750-foot radius of the proposed project. For more information about the project please visit https://www.234pico.com
Unlike the GRT Portfolio Properties 2018 proposal, developer Cypress Equity Investments is moving fast - a construction fence around the site is going up. Following the community meeting, the developer plans to submit an Administrative Approval application to the City in the 1st quarter of 2022. With Administrative Approval, the only public hearing will be at the Architectural Review Board (ARB).
