Additionally, building a project like this along a transit corridor with a planned Expo Line stop makes good sense. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, I share the worries of many Westside residents who are concerned about the size and scale of the project, and its traffic impacts,\u201d Rosendahl said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>City planning commissioners are expected Thursday to recommend approval of the 11.5-acre development, which would include 385 homes, many for elderly residents, and more than 500,000 square feet of commercial space at the northwest corner of Bundy Drive and Olympic Boulevard. <\/p>\n<p>Most of the commercial space would be devoted to medical facilities. Plans also call for more than 3,200 parking spaces. <\/p>\n<p>Engineers say the development would result in 21,000 additional daily car trips to the area. <\/p>\n<p>The project would replace a vacant Teledyne building, three low-slung brick office buildings and a large parking lot. <\/p>\n<p>If planning commissioners approve &quot;this project today, I am committed to working with the developer to make sure that community concerns are addressed, that the project is scaled back, and that additional traffic mitigations and community benefits are secured,&quot; Rosendahl said. <\/p>\n<p>[<strong>Updated <\/strong>at 3:15 p.m. In a surprise action, the Los Angeles Planning Commission voted Thursday to postpone a decision on the proposed Bundy Village &amp; Medical Park.]<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Martha Groves <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who has voiced support for a controversial development that would bring a large medical complex and hundreds of residences to a West Los Angeles neighborhood, softened his position Thursday on the Bundy Village &amp; Medical Park project. &quot;I support this project proposal in concept,\u201d Rosendahl said in a statement released by his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4135,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-309362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4135"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309362\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mereja.media\/index\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
