Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin is planning to fight a building that he believes is out of character and scale with the neighborhood. The project would be the tallest building on Venice Blvd from downtown to the beach.
“This isn’t the right project for Mar Vista, and I intend to continue to vehemently oppose it as proposed,” Bonin wrote. “To be clear, I support building more affordable housing — especially along transit corridors where we need it the most — but this proposal is too tall and out of character with the neighborhood.”
The project would offer 77 units, including 7 affordable units for artists, and ground floor retail.
Two neighborhood organizations are supporting Bonin in his attempt to fight the appeal coming before the Planning Department later this month.
