820 N. Central Ave. Design Review Case No. PDR-002693-2023

The project at 820 North Central Avenue in Glendale, California, involves the demolition of a 5,688 square-foot commercial building and two surface parking lots to make way for a new 105-unit, 8-story residential building totaling 131,846 square feet, along with 186 parking spaces distributed across a ground-level and two subterranean levels. The 36,173 square-foot site, located at the southeast corner of Central and Arden Avenue within the Downtown Specific Plan’s Gateway District, also includes a 3,388 square-foot publicly accessible open space. The project is situated on Lot 18-21 and a portion of Lot 17 of the Glendale Mountain View Tract with APNs 5644-003-033, 5644-003-073, and 5644-003-081, and is classified under NAICS code 541350. It has been determined eligible for a CEQA Class 32 exemption for in-fill development, satisfying criteria related to consistency with the general plan, urban location on a site under five acres, lack of environmental impacts, and adequate utility capacity. The City of Glendale is the responsible agency, with Aileen Babakhani, Senior Planner, listed as the primary point of contact.

The project is referenced under Design Review Case No. PDR-002693-2023, with posted and signature dates in November 2025 indicating planning and approval phases rather than active construction or procurement.
