100% affordable senior housing at 327-335 South Robertson Boulevard
Summary
The city is weighing whether to spend roughly $9-10 million on three levels of subterranean public parking under a proposed 64-unit, 100% affordable senior housing project on land it bought in 2019 for parking. Southeast residents and businesses pushed back hard, saying the corridor needs parking and revitalization first; councilmembers ultimately directed that parking be included if the project proceeds and to study diagonal parking on the street.

Impact analysis
Roughly $9.6 million to build the parking, $500K-$750K for equipment, and about $200K-$250K a year to operate, if the council proceeds.
Seniors seeking affordable housing to age in place, plus Robertson businesses and shoppers who would gain 82 public parking spaces.
Nearby residents and business owners who say the project's traffic, spillover parking and scale would burden an already congested corridor.

City Council Regular Meeting and Parking Authority Meeting - Sep 1, 2026
The council approved the option to ground lease that unlocks roughly $18 million in tax credits for the Robertson Sunflower project — five levels of affordable senior housing over three levels of city-funded subterranean parking. Neighboring business owners want the site to also deliver public parking and retail, and the final ground lease terms are still to be negotiated.
City Council Regular Meeting and Parking Authority Meeting - Aug 4, 2026
The city is buying a former gas station site, at a negotiated lower price, for a future affordable housing project. Councilmembers debated who bears the risk if further contamination is found during the state-mandated cleanup process — the seller won't indemnify the city, so the council is essentially accepting that risk to keep the deal alive.
City Council (Special) - Jul 28, 2026
The city is considering a 62-unit, 100% affordable senior housing project on its own land at 327-335 South Robertson, part of its state-mandated commitment to build 557 affordable units on city property. No final decision has been made; residents' comments will feed into the design and the eventual council vote.

Would add 82 public parking spaces to the Southeast corridor plus affordable senior housing, but neighbors fear traffic, spillover parking and loss of the parking the site was bought for.
401 South Robertson Boulevard Acquisition (Affordable Housing Site)
The city gains a site for affordable housing but accepts potential environmental remediation obligations; a DTSC-approved response plan will shape what can be built, likely without underground parking.
