LARGE “BIG BOX” COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT GETS FIRST APPROVAL, ATWATER VILLAGE NC MEMBER LENORE SOLIS EXPRESSES HER SUPPORT FOR THE PROJECT

The proposed Mitaa Plaza Project at 435 West Los Feliz Road in the City of Glendale got initial design approval from the Glendale City Council.

The rectangular 2.1-acre Mitaa Plaza site is within the San Fernando Road Corridor Redevelopment Project Area and is bounded by Fernando Court to the north, Gardena Avenue to the east, Los Feliz Road to the south, and the Costco Site in Atwater Village (Los Angeles) to the west.

The “big box” project includes a 5-story commercial, mixed-use development, one level of which is subterranean. The project would include a 36,000 square-foot supermarket (possible Korean supermarket) on the basement level; 33,065 square feet of retail and restaurant uses on the ground floor; 5,025 square feet of retail space and a 25,000 square-foot health spa on the second floor; approximately 32,000 square feet of general office space located on the third floor; and 32,000 square feet of medical office space on the fourth floor. A nine-level parking garage, two levels of which would be subterranean, containing approximately 597 spaces, would be located on the western portion of the project site.

Atwater Village Neighborhood Council (AVNC) Board Member Lenore Solis expressed her opinion that the Mitaa Plaza would be “great community asset”. However, Solis did not clarify how the “big box” commercial development would benefit Atwater Village’s small business community, including small retail shops on Los Feliz and Glendale Blvd’s.
