The Los Angeles planning department has given approvals to plans for a five-story, 35-unit apartment project to replace two single-family homes in the Mid-City neighborhood, according to a determination letter posted by the city this month.
The project will rise at 3051 – 3055 W. 12th Street, which is a roughly 11,000-square-foot property owned by project applicant Twlth Ktwn LLC, a company led by Chul Kon Yang. It is being designed by Los Angeles-based architecture firm Andmore Partners, with landscape architect YKD also involved, plans show.
Approvals given this month include Tier-3 project incentives under the city’s transit-oriented communities program, such as a 22-foot height increase to 67 feet, a 25-percent reduction in minimum required open space, and a 30-percent density bonus. As a result, the developer will set aside four apartments for extremely low-income households.
Plans call for 26 studio apartments, eight one-bedrooms, and one two-bedroom over a ground-level parking garage with 19 automobile spaces and 32 bicycle stalls. Named 12th Street Apartment in application documents, the project will also provide about 2,700 square feet of open space, including 500 square feet of private balconies, a 300-square-foot recreation room, and a 478-square-foot multipurpose room.
Twlth Ktwn LLC acquired the two-parcel project site through a pair of transactions in late 2019 for a combined $2.33 million, according to Los Angeles County property records.
