Robertson Sunflower project

A longtime Robertson Boulevard business owner supported affordable senior housing but urged the city to also include public parking, shops and restaurants in the project.

Opposed the project as designed, citing the undersized 13,740-sq-ft lot, the $10 million parking cost versus a cheaper alternative at 419 South Robertson, procurement/bidding questions, and a compressed funding timeline; asked that alternatives be formally studied before any vote.

Supported the project, saying she is the demographic who would qualify, praised the design echoing the Wallis and the location near transit and parks.
