oper wrote to the City, noting that current Lincoln Place buildings were “nearing the end of their useful life expectancy” and the site did not meet current code requirements for onsite parking, access for the disabled, and energy or water conservation. Further, “[t]o ensure that existing tenants are not displaced, the applicant has made several unprecedented commitments, all of which are reflected in the Planning Commission’s Project approval: [ft] a. The Project would be phased over a period of 10 years; [ft] b. No existing tenant would be involuntarily displaced from the site; and [ft] c. No particular phase of the Project would proceed unless every existing tenant in such phase could be supplied with an existing unit or a new unit at the owner’s cost.” The developer further stated that “all of the Project’s tenant protection and affordable housing commitments were made voluntarily, and in the absence of any adopted City policy or regulation requiring greater (or even similar) mitigation. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, no other privately funded subdivision or condominium conversion project in the City of Los Angeles has ever provided greater tenant protection and affordable housing benefits.”
