June 2015

The applicant has obtained various permits (grading, building, and encroachment permits) as necessary to commence construction of a new commercial center located at 5741 Las Virgenes Road, originally approved by the County of Los Angeles prior to the Mont Calabasas annexation.

On May 21, 2015, the Planning Commission approved a request to modify the existing County approval. The requested modification includes the reduction of the two, 2-story office buildings to one story buildings, resulting in a 15,854 square-foot reduction (25% reduction of the overall project). The modification results in a commercial center reduced to a size of 45,040 square-feet, as opposed to the originally approved 60,894 square-foot project. All buildings onsite will now be one-story. No other modifications to the greater project were requested.

March 2015

On March 27, 2015, the Architectural Review Panel reviewed the project. The Panel felt the redesign of the two story office buildings in the rear of the development to one story structures was a great improvement in that the roofline was lowered, the exposed bulky staircase has been removed, and the arched window façade was in greater conformance with the remaining structures in the development. The Panel recommended approval of the one story office revision.

February 2015

On January 30, 2015, the applicant submitted an application requesting a modification to the approved project.  The requested modification includes reduction of the two, 2-story office buildings (Office 1 & Office 2) to 1-story buildings.  The modification would reduce the approved square-footage of the project by 15,274 square-feet.  No other changes are proposed. If approved, the modification would result in an entirely 1-story commercial center.

The application will be reviewed by the City’s Development Review Committee (DRC) and Architectural Review Panel (ARP), after which the project will be scheduled for a public hearing with the Planning Commission.

Conditional Use Permit No. 87527-(3), requesting the construction of a neighborhood shopping center and 110 single-family residences (Mont Calabasas), was approved by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on January 17, 1995.

In 2009, the owner of the commercial site submitted a request for modification, specific to the commercial component of the CUP, to LA County. At the request of the City of Calabasas and the Mont Calabasas HOA the applicant agreed to voluntarily submit the proposed project to the City of Calabasas' Development Review Committee and Architectural Review Panel for review and comment. Anticipating annexation into the City of Calabasas, the applicant made the requested changes to the project. The final proposal includes a commercial center with 25,820 square-feet of retail space and 35,074 square-feet of office space.

The modification was approved by Los Angeles County on April 6, 2010. Plans were plan checked by LA County Building & Safety prior to the annexation. The City is now responsible for issuing grading and building permits. Grading permits have been issued, and work has commenced. Building permits will be issued post-grading certification.
