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

The project pertains to the continued operation and maintenance of a 6,370-square-foot non-residential building located at 13031 West Montana Avenue in Los Angeles, within the R2-1 and R3-1 zoning districts. The applicant seeks approval to change the building’s use from its current non-conforming commercial status to a mixed-use facility accommodating both retail and office functions, while retaining the existing structure and its associated surface parking lot with ten vehicle spaces. No new construction is proposed, and the intent is to adapt the current building to serve new commercial purposes consistent with evolving neighborhood needs. Additionally, the applicant requests permission to install up to three business identification signs, each not exceeding 20 square feet in area, to properly identify the new retail and office operations. The project remains within the bounds of the existing footprint and does not involve expansion or substantial alteration of the building’s exterior form. The City of Los Angeles is the overseeing agency, with Esther Ahn listed as the primary point of contact and Karen Buttwinick identified as the applicant, supported by representative Josh Guyer. The project was posted on July 13, 2026, and is governed under zoning application number ZA-2026-644-ZV, with all activities centered in the 90049 zip code area of Los Angeles, California.
