East Hollywood Target: Draft Environmental Impact Report Released

The Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Target Shopping Center project proposed for the corner of Sunset and Western (5520 Sunset Boulevard) in East Hollywood has recently been released and is available for comment. The Draft EIR is available at the Department of City Planning’s website and several Hollywood area libraries.

The proposed Target Shopping Center project described in the City's Draft EIR has essentially the same scope as the Target Project that was previously approved – and then withdrawn – at this site. The Target Shopping Center project proposes to construct a 163,862 square foot Target store along with 30,887 square feet of other smaller retail, food, and associated uses in a 3-level (and up to 84 feet high) building. The first floor of the building would have retail (along both Sunset and Western) while the Target store itself would be located on the structure's third level. A total of 458 automobile parking spaces would be provided in two parking levels, on ground floor and one above ground.

In order to construct the project, as currently proposed, the project would require a number of discretionary approvals from the City, including exceptions from the Vermont/Western TOD Specific Plan, a Site Plan Review, and a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol.

Written comments on the Draft EIR are due March 5, 2012. All comments on the Draft EIR should be directed to:
