  • Regionl Connector Transit Corridor Draft DEIS/DEIR
    Regional Connector Transit Corridor Cultural Resources – Built Environment Technical Memorandum were designed to legally and financially assist cities to address problems of decay and neglect within their communities. In response to this new legislation, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA) was established in 1948, in part to cure economic "blight" by funding and overseeing redevelopment. As its first major project, the CRA sought to improve the Bunker Hill area, which had been one of the more exclusive residential neighborhoods at the turn of the twentieth century but had deteriorated and fallen out of fashion. Despite many proposals, plans to redevelop Bunker Hill were rejected, and ultimately not begun until the 1960s, when large hotels and Victorian-era homes were bulldozed and the landforms were rearranged. Slowly, over the past 50 years, a community of high-rises has been constructed in their place (Kawaratani 2008). When the Harbor Freeway (Interstate-110) was completed in 1952, it was hopefully called “downtown’s new Main Street” by noted local architect A. C. Martin, Jr. (Los Angeles Times 1967). Construction of the freeway and the repeal of the building height ordinance in 1954 created a significant new concentration of high- and midrise buildings, eventually concentrated on Figueroa and 7th Streets. The downtown civic center began to take shape in the post-war era. As discussed in California: A Land of Contrast: Business blocks of the late nineteenth century have been replaced by the Civic Center, whose buildings, most of contemporary design, are flanked by multi-acre parking lots. The Civic Center has encroached westward upon Bunker Hill, once occupied by the city’s wealthier residents and now experiencing impressive [redevelopment] (Lantis, et al.

  • Conservancy Comments on NOP, Wilshire Mullen Project, December
    December 22, 2015 Submitted Electronically Ms. Erin Strelich Environmental Analysis Section Department of City Planning 200 N. Spring Street, Room 750 Los Angeles, CA 90012 Email: [email protected] Re: Notice of Preparation for Wilshire Mullen Project, ENV-2015-3719-EIR Dear Ms. Strelich, On behalf of the Los Angeles Conservancy, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) for an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Wilshire Mullen project. The Conservancy appreciates that the proposed project will retain and reuse the historic Farmers Insurance Home Office Building (“Farmers Building”) and incorporate new construction on existing surface parking lots and vacant residential lots. We submit the following comments to ensure that the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the Farmers Building meets the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The new infill construction should be compatible in scale and overall massing so as not to adversely impact the historic building and immediate neighborhood. If significant impacts are anticipated, a range of preservation alternatives should be evaluated and adequate mitigation measures proposed as part of the environmental review process. In particular, we strongly recommend designation of the Farmers Building as a Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) prior to project approval. This will ensure adequate long-term protection and a design review process. I. Historic Significance of the Farmers Building Designed by noted Los Angeles architectural firm of Walker and Eisen, the Farmers Building was completed in 1937 in the PWA Moderne style. Farmers Inter-Insurance Exchange, founded in 1928, commissioned the building as the headquarters for its growing company, which provided automobile, fire, and truck insurance to farmers and ranchers throughout Southern California.
