Neighboring homeowner’s appeal rejected, entitlements remain in place for proposed 27-apartment project
Los Angeles City Council has recently confirmed the approval of a proposed multifamily residential development project located at 2456-2460 S. Purdue Avenue. Despite efforts by a neighboring homeowner to challenge the project’s entitlements, the council decided to reject her appeal and uphold the development’s approval.
The project, which is set to replace two single-family homes, is being developed by Amir Mehdizadeh of Camden Holdings, LLC, based in Beverly Hills. The proposed development calls for the construction of a five-story building that will feature 27 apartments above a single level of subterranean parking. The entitlements issued by the Planning Department in July 2022 have utilized Transit Oriented Communities incentives to permit increased floor area and density above the property’s base zoning rights. In return, three apartments have been designated for extremely low-income affordable housing.
Designed by Bittoni Architects, the proposed development is depicted in a rendering as a contemporary low-rise structure that centers on an open-air atrium. Other planned features include a recreation room, central courtyard, gym, and a rooftop deck.
