INGLEWOOD, Calif. (2UrbanGirls) – Inglewood will hold a Public Hearing on Dec. 20 at 2:00 p.m. for the proposed Prairie Station housing project at the intersection of Prairie Ave. and 113th Street in Council District 4.

Public hearing to consider adoption of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (EA-MND-2020-061) providing for certain proposed California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental mitigation measures with respect to the development of a residential project as more specifically described in that certain proposed Disposition and Development Agreement (“Agreement”) between the City of Inglewood (“City”) and Prairie Station Holdings, LLC (“Developer”).
Recommendation: | |
1. Receive public comments; 2. Adopt Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (EA-MND-2020-061); 3. Adopt a resolution approving the proposed Agreement providing for the development of approximately 2.63 acres of real property currently acquired and owned by the City (“City Parcels”), as a result of its transfer to the City from the Successor Agency of the former Inglewood Redevelopment Agency (“Successor Agency”), pursuant to the Redevelopment Dissolution Law, for development, along with approximately 0.73 acres of real property currently owned by two related entities of the Developer (“Participating Parcels”), of approximately 440 residential housing units, of which 40 of the units will be restricted for occupancy by Lower and Moderate-Income Households at affordable rents, and the remaining 400 will be rented at market-rate rents (the “Project”); and 4. Authorize the Mayor to execute the Agreement and carry out its terms and conditions. |
The Prairie Station development, slated for a property at 11227 S. Prairie Avenue, spans roughly five acres between the freeway trench and one of its off-ramps. Proposed plans call for the construction of a trio of podium-type apartment buildings, containing a combined total of 440 residential units accompanied by parking for 670 vehicles.
Many wonder if the name “Prairie Station” is an indicator that a proposed transit stop is in the works.
