sky, and other landscape and hardscape elements would be installed. On-site vehicular parking for residents
would not be provided. A service drive/garage accessed from Gayley Avenue, which would be located at the
northwest corner of the building, would provide a single parking space for service vehicles and deliveries, and
allow direct access for trash removal.
On-site alternative transportation facilities would include a bike storage room on the ground level, as well as a
designated area for scooter parking. Pedestrian access to the proposed building would be provided from the
existing sidewalk on the south side of Gayley Avenue. The site work will include demolition, excavation, site
clearing, shoring and installation of concrete shear walls. A hazardous materials report will be available for
information, abatement of hazardous materials will include select areas of roofing, sheet vinyl flooring, disposal
of fluorescent bulbs. The building will consist of concrete foundations, post tensioned elevated slabs and metal
wall framing. Exterior finishes will include glazing systems and integrally colored cementitious plaster while interior
finishes will include gypsum board, painted wall board, painted concrete, luxury sheet vinyl flooring at dorm rooms,
carpet at common areas and ceramic tile at wet areas. A large subterranean vault will be constructed to house
LADWP electrical service equipment to support the electrical needs of the building. Municipal utility connections
will include sewer, electrical, domestic and fire water. A gas service is not anticipated as the building will be fully
electrified. The project work hours will adhere to Los Angeles City noise ordinances.
