The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a five-story, 11-unit apartment project in the Valley Village neighborhood at 5246 – 5250 Hermitage Ave., according to a determination letter filed by the city this month. The project applicant and owner is listed as Mircea Horea Pop of 5246 Hermitage LLC.
The development will replace a duplex at the project site, which fronts the east side of Hermitage Avenue, with a 16,130-square-foot apartment building.
Approvals include Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, including a 22-foot height increase to 58 feet and a 70-percent density bonus, plans show. The applicant will set aside two units at below market rate: one for an extremely low-income household and the other for a very low-income household.
Called the Hermitage Apartments in application documents, the community will contain one studio, one one-bedroom, four two-bedrooms, and five three-bedrooms. Units will range in size from 451 square feet to 1,384 square feet, plans show.
The development will also include 830 square feet of open space split between a rear yard and roof deck.
Plans also call for 20 automobile parking spaces in a subterranean parking garage, as well as 14 bicycle spaces.
The project architect is Stockton Architects.
