Planning Commission to Discuss Affordable Housing Development at 4464 Sepulveda

The Culver City Planning Commission is set to sign off on plans to redevelop a portion of the Culver Palms United Methodist Church property with affordable and permanent supportive housing.

The agenda for the Jan. 25, 2023 meeting will  consider a request to create two air space lots for the church property at 4464 Sepulveda Boulevard, thus enabling non-profit developer Community Corp. of Santa Monica to redevelop the back half of the site with a new building featuring 95 apartments, catering to households earning between 30% and 80% of local median income level. Roughly a third of the apartments would be set aside as permanent supportive housing.

The Culver City Council heard a staff report in June of last year approximating the total cost of 4464 Sepulveda at $66.5 million. 

While Community Corp. of Santa Monica will develop the new housing, Culver Palms United Methodist Church will continue to own the land following construction. Ground lease payments are expected to cover the cost of the new church and pre-school buildings.

In addition to housing, the project would include the construction of two new buildings on the property to House Culver Palms United Methodist, as well as its associated pre-school.

FSY Architects is designing 4464 Sepulveda, which is depicted in renderings as a contemporary six-story building located above a subterranean parking garage. Plans show that a rear yard would sit at the back of the new apartment complex, which would be centered on a large open-air courtyard.
