511 West Avenue 49 (ENV-2026-648-CE)

A rear yard addition of approximately 416 square feet is proposed for an existing single-family residence measuring 888 square feet, resulting in a total improved area of 1,304 square feet on a 4,959.9-square-foot lot located within the Mount Washington-Glassell Park Specific Plan area. The project does not propose the removal of any trees on the private property, as confirmed by the Tree Disclosure Statement and the Arborist Letter authored by Certified Arborist Arsen Margossian, License #WE7233A, dated October 6, 2025. The site currently contains seven trees, none of which are classified as Protected Trees, while two are identified as Significant Trees under the Specific Plan guidelines. One tree is located within the Public Right of Way, and any alteration or removal of this tree requires prior approval from Urban Forestry in accordance with LAMC Sections 62.9169 and 62.170. The environmental analysis issued under project number ENV-2026-648-CE does not permit tree removal without explicit authorization from the appropriate city department, and no street trees are included in any proposed action. The project is managed by the City of Los Angeles, with Pablo Estrada listed as the primary point of contact and Kate Haffenden as the applicant.
