1659 West Colorado Boulevard (ENV-2025-6118-CE)

The project at 1659 West Colorado Boulevard in Los Angeles involves the rehabilitation of a historic one-story oil station, designated as Historic-Cultural Monument No. LA-1286, into office use, along with the construction of a new 157-square-foot detached restroom building at the rear of the 3,002.8-square-foot site. The scope includes repairing and repainting the existing structure’s walls and roof, installing a new fence and internal gate, and eliminating required parking under the provisions of AB 2097. The site is located within Subarea II of the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan and is zoned [Q]C4-1XL with a Neighborhood Commercial land use designation, bordered by residential properties to the north and commercial uses elsewhere. All work must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties to preserve the building’s historical integrity, and the project has been cleared for a CEQA categorical exemption under Class 31 for historical resource rehabilitation and Class 3 for small structure conversion. Compliance with City of Los Angeles Regulatory Compliance Measures is required for noise, stormwater management, and green building standards, and floor area ratio limits are enforced to ensure the addition does not exceed allowable development density. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning is the lead agency overseeing the project, with oversight from the Office of Historic Resources and environmental compliance reviewed via the Envirostar and ZIMAS databases. The applicant is Paradigm Collaboration LLC, represented by Keyur Maru of Sajni Design & Architecture, and the project’s administrative contact is Debbie Lawrence, City Planning Associate. No federal contract clauses, procurement terms, or financial details are included; the documentation reflects a local environmental exemption application rather than a federal solicitation or contract.

All construction activities occur on-site, and no shipping, packaging, delivery, or inspection protocols beyond local code compliance are referenced.
