Legado public hearing postponed

A public hearing regarding the mixed use redevelopment proposal for 1700 S. Pacific Coast Highway, scheduled for today,Thursday, Nov. 20, has been indefinitely postponed. According to Legado spokesperson Heather Lee, the meeting was postponed since there wasnt a quorum of planning commissioners slated to attend. The meeting will be rescheduled with proper 10-day notice.

The 4.275 acre Legato project site is currently developed with a 110-room hotel (Palos Verdes Inn) and 28,354 square feet (SF) of retail space, including a 21,130 SF former Bristol Farms grocery store and 7,224 SF of other retail space. The project calls for the demolition of all on-site retail space, the construction of a mixed use (residential/commercial) development and renovation of the existing hotel. The mixed-use development consists of 180 residential apartment units including affordable nine units for very low-income qualified residents. The applicant (Legado Redondo, LLC) has requested a density bonus, which includes a waiver of development standards (height and stories) and parking standards.

Lee said in October only one of the buildings in the proposal would be four stories and it will be placed farthest from the street frontage. Two other buildings will be three stories.

These buildings are all residential and will be equipped with flat solar panels on the roofs to make the units energy efficient, she said.

As currently planned, the commercial component will consist of approximately 37,600 SF of neighborhood-serving commercial development. A total of 614 parking spaces, all of which will be underground, will be provided, with 552 spaces in a parking structure, and the remaining 62 spaces in a surface parking lot.

There will be no above ground or additional parking structures. The residences have been designed for three and four stories to accommodate the public open space. This will be one of the greenest mixed use projects of its kind, Lee said.

The project includes 30,599 square feet of public open space and 49,506 square feet of private open space for residents of the community.

We will create the highest and best uses of this 4.275-acre project site by efficiently integrating high-quality residences, a beautiful, inviting public space and desirable retail services using a design and scale that will blend well with the surrounding neighborhood and will preserve the charm of the Redondo Beach community, she said.
