Dear Neighbors and Supporters,

This week, the developers of the Silver Lake Garden Apartments presented their proposal to the City Planning Commission. This initial hearing was informational and procedural, not a final approval.
We had a strong public turnout, with many speakers voicing opposition. No members of the public spoke in favor of the project.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Planning Assistant Marie Pichay invited additional public comments to be submitted by email before the final vote on Thursday, March 12, 2026. It is crucial that we continue to apply pressure by submitting written comments to express our concerns.

Here is her email: marie.pichay@lacity.org

Every email truly counts. Please take a moment to write if you can.

Below is a recap of the key reasons we oppose this project:

• Landlord cited for 100+ active code violations and 60 LAHD complaints
• Site located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone
• Apparent California Building Code violations, particularly within a Liquefaction Zone
• Developers seeking major waivers, including increased height, reduced parking, and environmental exemptions
• An estimated 400 additional car trips per day
• Dozens of required parking spaces missing.
• Unanimous opposition from the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council.

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate you.
