Palatine Capital Partners has plans to redevelop a property in Tarzana for a new, nearly 100,000-square-foot self-storage project, according to a planning case posted by the city of Los Angeles last week.
The project would turn a two-story, roughly 47,000-square-foot building at 18618 Oxnard St. occupied by film school Columbia College Hollywood into a three-story, approximately 98,000-square-foot self-storage facility. Plans call for 5,000-square-foot expansion of the site’s existing building and also the construction of a 51,540-square-foot, 44-foot-tall addition to the south side of the site.
Palatine, which has offices in New York and Miami, is seeking a conditional use permit to locate a self-storage facility within 500 feet of a residential use, among other approvals, according to planning documents.
The self-storage developer is also the company behind a newly approved project in the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Nevin.
Like with that project, Palatine is joined in its Tarzana plans by project architect KSP Studio, landscape architect Emerald Design, and project representative Kathleen Hill of Alston & Bird.
Plans also call for 23 automobile parking spaces and 60 bicycle spaces, as well as about 4,000 square feet of landscaped space on the site.
So Columbia College Hollywood film school is out of business?? That’s a shame. I was planning to go to that.
The students of Columbia College Hollywood are being gaslit and stolen from by the board and president, Bill Smith. Students received an email from Smith in March 2022 to qualm a rumor that the building had been sold, saying it was just a rumor, but there was an interested party and it would not be for another 12-36 months that the school would be moving. The rumor came about because of an article released about the buildings purchase. LA County records show the building was sold in July 2021. In April of 2022, it was announced that the school would be closing its physical location for the summer quarter starting June 29th, in order to switch from quarters to semesters, and that summer classes could be taken through their new partnership with ASU. ASU has not announced this partnership. May 2022, last week, students received an email stating the college would be moving to DTLA almost 20 miles from its current Tarzana location, as of August 2022. The campus it is moving to is part of ASU, and again ASU has not acknowledged a partnership with CCH. Bill Smith and the college board members have continued to lie and omit information from students whose livelihood depends on student loans, and reliable safe housing close to the school. As of May of this year, the Flashpoint Chicago campus that was part of CCH also closed, but for reasons not quite known. Bill Smith is a liar and is hiding the truth from students and faculty, and should be held responsible.
