Client: Palisades Landmark, LLC Lead Agency: City of Los Angeles Date Completed: December 2003 CAJA prepared an EIR for the Palisades Landmark project. The project site is located in Los Angeles County, within the Pacific Palisades community of the City of Los Angeles, at 17331-17333 Tramonto Drive. Two apartment buildings (consisting of a total of 20 dwelling units) known as the Ocean Woods Terrace apartments are present in the central portion of the site. In addition, there is a swimming pool located between the two buildings and a carport area for 32 cars with additional surface parking for approximately 15 cars. The western portion of the project site includes the central portion of the active Revello Landslide. A third building which contained 12 units within the Ocean Woods Terrace apartment complex was destroyed by the landslide in 1965. The properties situated below the project site are developed with apartment and commercial buildings, except the area of the Revello Landslide, which remains vacant. The proposed residential development consisted of 82 condominium units on 3.98 net acres of hillside terrain. All existing on-site structures would be removed. The 82 units would be split into six buildings: three buildings are proposed to contain three levels and include 25 three-bedroom townhomes with parking below each unit; and three buildings are proposed to include four stories consisting of 57 three-bedroom flats with parking provided in a subterranean garage. None of the proposed buildings would exceed 45 feet in height, and all would correspond with the existing zoning, which is designated as RD2-1. The grading for the proposed project would require 130,000 cubic yards (cy) of cut and 80,000 cy of fill. Approximately 100,000 cy of the cut material would be exported off-site and approximately 75,000 cy of fill would be imported to the site for landslide repair. The on-site portion of the Revello Landslide would be permanently stabilized and repaired as part of the development for the proposed project. Primary access to the site would be provided off of Tramonto Drive via an existing private driveway, which would be widened to accommodate the new project. The driveway would divide into two separate ramps. The first ramp would lead directly up to the fire lane and townhouse access roadway, providing direct access to the parking area designated for each individual townhome. The second ramp would lead down into the subterranean garage for the parking area designated for the flats. In addition, guest parking would be provided along the southern edge of the fire lane and access roadway. The access roadway would end in a "hammerhead,"which would provide a turn around area for the fire department vehicles. Utilities required for the proposed project (e.g. electricity, natural gas, sewer, and water) already exist on-site. Overall, the grading and construction of proposed project is estimated to take approximately three years.
