Plans for a large-scale mixed-use development in Warner Center are moving forward, following a recent meeting with the Los Angeles City Planning Commission. During that meeting, the City rejected two appeals for Kalan Companies’ District at Warner Center, allowing the approximately 1.16 million square foot project to progress in the entitlement process.
Located at 6100 N. Canoga Ave. on an 8.8-acre lot, the development would include the construction of a 204-room hotel and 852 residential units. The project site also would accommodate 2,171 square feet of commercial space and more than 1,500 parking spaces. Designs for the project come from architecture firm AO.
The site is currently home to a former Fry’s Electronics store. The 114,057 square foot structure would be demolished in order for the development of the planned project, which would be done in three phases. Each phase includes the construction of a new building, with the total construction timeline anticipated to take about four years, according to city documents.
The first building, which is referred to in the project plans as The North Building, would consist of an 11-story building with 445 residential units, including 58 live/work units. The building also would feature a 2,171 square foot market and 717 vehicle parking spaces.
The second phase would be for the construction of The South Building. This building would also stand 11 stories and consist of 407 residential units, with 158 live/work units. Parking for 673 vehicles would also be constructed during this phase of development.
The third phase would be for the construction of the hotel, a 12-story building with a ground floor lobby, bar and restaurant space. The hotel would also have a 112-car garage, including some valet parking spaces.
The project was appealed twice, once by an entity affiliated with West Valley Alliance for Optimal Living and also by Jeff Bornstein; both appellants share an address. The appeals claimed that the project should be subject to additional environmental review. However, both appeals were ultimately rejected by city officials.
