Hermosa Beach – Pier Avenue Comparable to 5‐7’ sidewalk + 5’ setback no obstrucƟons Riviera Village street tree & planƟng buffer in parkway, open space and seaƟng along sidewalk 1426 AviaƟon Blvd ‐ This is the issue with addiƟonal height and landscaped setback. It forces the pedestrian away from the building.
The parking under the building doesn’t count toward the FAR so there is no incenƟve to go underground for office. This space could never be used as a retail or restaurant.
The Montecito – technically mized use and has wider sidewalk but all commercial spaces are blocked by mechanical equipment ramps and double rails. Not landscaped in the setback but no landscaping in the parkway leaves a pedestrian very exposed.
