41.70 West Cromwell Avenue - ZA-2024-3040-CU 1-ADJ-F

Project ZA-2024-3040-CU 1-ADJ-F involves the construction, use, and maintenance of a swimming pool, a six-foot high fence, and a 235 square foot addition to an existing single family dwelling located at 4170 West Cromwell Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The project is situated in an R-1 Zone and requires a Class 1 Conditional Use Permit and various zoning adjustments to deviate from standard regulations. Key requests include increasing the fence height to six feet, reducing the required parking from four spaces to two, decreasing the front yard setback to 18.9 feet, and allowing a building height of 25.63 feet within the 20-foot encroachment plane and front lot line. Additionally, the applicant seeks an adjustment to increase the total residential floor area to 3,542.7 square feet and permission to place the swimming pool within the front yard setback. The project is managed by the City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning and is subject to the Los Angeles Municipal Code and the California Environmental Quality Act. It has been granted a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15303, asserting that the modifications will not result in significant environmental impacts. The project is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, requiring compliance with specific landscaping and brush clearance standards. Administrative oversight is provided by Zoning Administrator Jonathan Hershey, with representation by Chris Parker of Pacific Crest Consultants for applicants Samuel Okabayashi and Jean Shin.
