STATUS & BABWP's TAKE
As of this writing, it’s our understanding Planning has sent the developer (Southern California Affordable Housing-LA) back to update their ED1 application. (Per a 11-15-24 email BaBWP received from Planner Steve Garcia.)
We will continue tracking the status of this application, but are cautiously concerned.
- While we applaud new affordable housing coming to our community, BaBWP has concerns about about this ED1 application and the developer SCAH-LA.
- Based on our research, there’s a worrisome lack of transparency about their activities.
- Plus SCAH-LA can potentially have a significant impact on Westchester’s downtown area, if this developer is found to own any of these other properties slated for ED2 development. Specifically: 8813 Sepulveda Eastway, 8814-8818 Sepulveda, and 8820-8844 Sepulveda.
