The proposed Project involves the demolition of an existing Universityowned six-level, approximately 57,075 gross square foot (GSF) apartment building on the approximately 20,831 square foot (sf) (0.48 gross acre) project site, and the construction of an eight-story, approximately 112,000-gsf co-living style of housing with communal living and study spaces on each floor. Co-living housing is a hybrid of dorm-style housing with community bathrooms and shared spaces for students to cook, eat, study, and socialize. The proposed Project would provide 187 bedrooms and up to 545 beds in triple-occupancy rooms, of which at least 65 percent (358 beds) would be offered as affordable beds. When compared to the existing building, the proposed Project would result in a net increase of 445 beds (residents), and a net increase of approximately 54,925 GSF of development. The proposed project would include a central courtyard, which would be enclosed on all sides and open to the sky, and other landscape and hardscape elements would be installed. On-site vehicular parking for residents would not be provided. A service drive/garage accessed from Gayley Avenue, which would be located at the northwest corner of the building, would provide a single parking space for service vehicles and deliveries, and allow direct access for trash removal. On-site alternative transportation facilities would include a bike storage room on the ground level, as well as a designated area for scooter parking. Pedestrian access to the proposed building would be provided from the existing sidewalk on the south side of Gayley Avenue. The site work will include demolition, excavation, site clearing, shoring and installation of concrete shear walls. A hazardous materials report will be available for information, abatement of hazardous materials will include select areas of roofing, sheet vinyl flooring, disposal of fluorescent bulbs. The building will consist of concrete foundations, post tensioned elevated slabs and metal wall framing. Exterior finishes will include glazing systems and integrally colored cementitious plaster while interior finishes will include gypsum board, painted wall board, painted concrete, luxury sheet vinyl flooring at dorm rooms, carpet at common areas and ceramic tile at wet areas. A large subterranean vault will be constructed to house LADWP electrical service equipment to support the electrical needs of the building. Municipal utility connections will include sewer, electrical, domestic and fire water. A gas service is not anticipated as the building will be fully electrified. The project work hours will adhere to Los Angeles City noise ordinances.
