Project Description:
a. On October 9, 2024, the City Council approved a revised, downscaled project consisting of 80 residential multi-family units (including 4 affordable to the very low-income category) and 27,411 sq. ft. of new commercial space. Other project revisions include elimination of the subterranean parking garages, elimination of all residential units above the commercial space in Building B, and a reconfiguration of the green space.
On May 1, 2023, The Commons at Calabasas, LLC submitted applications for a Site Plan Review, Tentative Tract Map, (3) Conditional Use Permits, and a Scenic Corridor Permit for a proposal to improve a portion of The Commons at Calabasas (“The Commons”), located at 4799 Commons Way (APN: 2068-003-021) within the Commercial Mixed-Use Zoning District, Scenic Corridor Overlay Zone and Affordable Housing Overlay with the construction of two, new mixed-use buildings. The project’s new mixed-use buildings (referred to on the plans as Buildings A and B) contain 210,921 square feet of total new floor area with up to 119 residential units, including 12 affordable units, and up to 24,163 square feet of neighborhood-serving commercial uses. To accommodate the Project, the existing theater building (approximately 33,091 square feet) will be demolished, along with a portion of the existing surface parking lot and associated landscaping.
