Per AB 2011, the proposal is to demolish the existing building improvements on Block 2979A / Lot 019 and construct a new building containing 64 dwelling units and approximately 4,100 square feet of ground floor retail space. Approximately 113,670 total square feet of construction will be residential uses and approximately 94,384 square feet will be residential Gross Floor Area. The project proposes 27 off-street parking spaces located in a basement garage. A 100% density bonus per AB 1287 will be utilized. Five dwelling units representing 15% of the base project density would be designated very low-income units. An additional five dwelling units, also representing 15% of the base project density, would be designated moderate-income units. The remainder of the units would be market rate. The existing project site consists of a vacant movie theater, temporarily occupied by a Social Service/Philanthropic Facility use, and retail uses fronting West Portal Avenue.

Per SB 423, the proposed project is for 159 rental apartment units (158 units will be one-bedroom units leased to low-income seniors age 62 years and up and a two-bedroom unit for on-site staff); 100% of the units will be restricted at 60% SF AMI or lower. Approximately 1,231 square feet of office space will be designated for on-site property management and services coordination staff. The building will include a community room, two laundry rooms, 360 square feet of health service space, and 360 square feet of office space for an in-home support services provider to provide health services to the residents. There will also be a 2,300-square-foot senior center to serve noon meals and to provide a social recreational services model to the senior housing residents and to seniors age 60 and up that live within the neighborhood. In addition, an early childhood education center of approximately 6,000 square feet serving approximately 60 children ages 0-4 is proposed. The project includes 31 open-air, surface parking spaces. The parcel will be subdivided from the larger Laguna Housing Hospital parcel and ground leased to the senior housing owner entity, an affiliate of Mercy Housing California.

The 250 Laguna Honda Blvd. project seeks to demolish the two existing structures and on-site pavement parking to develop a 172-unit, 100% affordable housing project designed to provide permanent supportive housing and large-family housing. The eight-story building will include 35 one-bedroom, 93 two-bedroom, and 44 three-bedroom units with 25% designated as permanent supportive housing for formerly unhoused households. All units will be adaptable or mobility and the ground floor will include a community room, flex room, office spaces, support services, and bicycle and vehicle parking. The project is publicly funded and is utilizing streamlined approval (AB 2162) and the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330). The affordability levels will range from 30% AMI to 50% AMI, ensuring deeply affordable options for low-income families and individuals. Supportive services will be provided on site to help residents maintain housing stability, achieve self-sufficiency, and integrate into the community. The lead service providers are Mission Housing Development Corporation and Lutheran Social Services.
