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

The project at 41.70 West Cromwell Avenue in Los Angeles seeks approval for modifications to a single-family residence in the R-1 zone, including the construction of a six-foot high fence, a swimming pool in the front yard, and an addition to the existing structure. Normally restricted to a maximum fence height of three feet six inches in the front yard and within five feet of the side street lot line on a reversed corner lot, the applicant requests a Class 1 Conditional Use Permit to exceed this limit. Additional variances are sought for parking, reducing the required spaces from four to two; reducing the front yard setback from the prevailing 27.7 feet to 18.9 feet; and increasing the allowed building height from 24 feet to 25.63 feet within both the 20-foot encroachment plane and within 20 feet of the front lot line. The applicant also requests an adjustment to exceed the maximum residential floor area limit of 3,307.5 square feet by 235 square feet, bringing the total to 3,542.7 square feet, and further seeks permission to locate the swimming pool within the front yard setback, which is otherwise prohibited. All requested modifications are subject to review under the City of Los Angeles zoning regulations and require formal approval through the Conditional Use Permit and Adjustment processes. The project is managed by the Zoning Administrator, Jonathan Hershey, with Chris J. Parker serving as the designated representative and Samuel Okabayashi and Jean Shin listed as the applicant and property owners. The project is listed under the zoning application number ZA-2024-3040-CU 1-ADJ-F and was posted on July 29, 2026. The location is within zip code 90027 in Los Angeles, California, and all requests will be evaluated for consistency with neighborhood character, safety, and zoning code intent, with public review and potential hearings required before approval.
