710 Wilshire Boulevard Development Agreement
Update!
The proposed Development Agreement is for the construction of a
proposed hotel and mixed-use project located on eight lots
fronting on Wilshire Boulevard, Seventh Street and Lincoln
Boulevard. The proposed project includes two potential
development scenarios. The first scenario (“Development
Scenario 1”) would involve construction of a 285-room hotel and
16,421 square foot (sf) retail/restaurant project, including
adaptive reuse of an existing Landmark building structure (Santa
Monica Professional Building), and a separate mixed use 24-unit
residential building with 1,600 sf of ground floor retail on a
separate lot across 7th Court alley with frontage on Lincoln
Boulevard. The hotel and retail/restaurant project would occupy
the lots currently addressed as 710 Wilshire Boulevard, 718
Wilshire Boulevard and 1213-1233 7th Street. The mixed use
building would occupy an adjacent lot addressed as 1218 Lincoln
Boulevard. The second scenario (“Development Scenario 2”) would
involve the development of the same hotel and retail/restaurant
project components of the first scenario, but would not include
the development of the mixed use residential building. In
accordance with CEQA, a
Draft EIR with
Appendices for the project was prepared and circulated with
the closing comment date of September 1, 2011. In accordance
with CEQA Guidelines §15089, the City of Santa Monica has
prepared a Final EIR:
Volume I – Draft EIR Sections and Appendix A-G
Volume II – Appendix H-I
Volume III – Final EIR Sections 8.0-10.0.

Roberts Center Project & Development Agreement [2849-2912
Colorado Avenue]
The proposed project would require the removal of the
approximately 79,000 square feet (sf) of existing
commercial space, surface parking areas, and vegetation on the
project site. The proposed project would consist of mixed uses
in four buildings with an overall allowable floor area ratio of
2.5 to 1. The project uses would include creative
office/production space, neighborhood-serving retail and
restaurant space such as a green grocer or café, and housing
units estimated to consist of somewhere between 169 and 231
for-rent units in a mix of housing types (ranging from market
rate to low income with studios, one and two bedrooms, as well
as live-work units). The proposed project would result in the
construction of approximately 304,368 sf of building area within
four buildings. Under Option 1, a maximum of approximately
95,151 sf of creative office uses, 22,050 sf of retail, 22,468 sf
of amenity/open space (including the spa/gym or game room), and
169 residential units would be located on the site. Option 2
would develop up to 37,220 sf of creative office, 22,050 sf of
retail, 22,468 sf of amenity/open space (including the spa/gym
or game room), and 231 residential units. Total square footage
and site plan would be the same for both Options.
A two-level parking garage would be provided. Gym
and exercise areas and ancillary improvements such as lobbies,
public showers, etc. in the subterranean garage would aggregate
up to 24,468 sf of floor area. The amenities at the subterranean
levels would be private, serving the project tenants. Both
options of the project would include a large plaza and public
paseos allowing pedestrian access through the project site to
streets at the boundaries of the property and related
facilities. In addition, a retail kiosk up to 500 sf of floor
area would be provided in the plaza. The project proponent
would extend Pennsylvania Avenue between Stewart Street and
Stanford Street only across the project site. If the approved
related project immediately to the west (Lionsgate) and the
pending related project immediately to the east (Village Trailer
Park) are constructed, the proposed project and the two related
projects would extend Pennsylvania Avenue from Stewart Street
east to provide a complete connection between Stanford and
Stewart Streets. In addition, a new north-south street (New
Road) would be developed along the site’s eastern border from
Colorado Avenue. The New Road would intersect the Pennsylvania
Avenue extension and terminate at the
property’s southern boundary.
In accordance with Section 15082 of the State
CEQA Guidelines, the City has prepared a
Notice of Preparation
to provide Responsible Agencies and other interested parties
with information describing the proposal and its potential
environmental effects. Comments are due January 26, 2012.

2500 Michigan Avenue / 1908 Frank Street – Santa Monica Resource
Recovery Center Project
The
proposed project consists of the renovation and physical
improvement of the existing City of Santa Monica Community
Recycling Center and Refuse Transfer Station (City Transfer
Station), and Southern California Disposal Recycling and
Transfer Station (SCD Transfer Station) to create an integrated
transfer, recycling, and disposal facility on City and SCD owned
land. The improvements at the City Transfer Station include
approximately 57,000 square feet of enclosed and semi-enclosed
space for materials recovery and processing, recycling drop off
and buy back, self-haul receipt, and household hazardous waste
storage – all existing uses on site. 65 parking spaces are also
proposed. The improvements at the SCD transfer station include
an approximately 4,848 square foot addition to the existing
transfer station facility. The proposed project would not
increase the amount of solid waste being processed at either
transfer station but would allow the facilities to achieve a
higher diversion rate due to increased sorting areas and a more
efficient storage system.
