ZA-2026-644-ZV / 13031 West Montana Avenue

Project ZA-2026-644-ZV involves the continued use and maintenance of a 6,370 square-foot non-residential structure and an associated surface parking lot with 10 vehicular spaces located at 13031 West Montana Avenue in Los Angeles, California. The project is situated within the R2-1 and R3-1 Zones and falls under the Brentwood-Pacific Palisades Community Plan. The primary objective is to obtain a zone variance to allow a change of use to retail and office within the existing non-conforming commercial building, as well as the installation of up to three business identification signs, each measuring up to 20 square feet. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning has issued a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 Class 1, certifying that the project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review because it maintains an existing commercial structure without significant environmental impact. The project must adhere to all Los Angeles Municipal Code requirements. Key points of contact include City Planner Esther Ahn, Applicant Karen Buttwinick, and Representative Josh Guyer.
