2070 Nichols Canyon Road Update

Currently Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) is treating the project as “by right”. The proposed project is likely to have significant environmental impacts, which the applicant should be required to mitigate.

Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy and the Hillside Federation have all submitted letters of concern to the city. The letters request that the project not be considered by right, exempt from review under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City should order the applicant to prepare a draft environmental impact report (DEIR) on the proposed project.

A DEIR provides the public, nearby residents and property owners, responsible agencies, and other interested parties a summary of the project and conclusions of anticipated environmental effects.

Project Description
