Bob Bisno offered a new proposal for Ponte Vista at San Pedro. I am going to use this post to list the facts and provide some factual information I learned from one of Mr. Bisno's consultants.
I will, of course, create an opinionated post sometime Tuesday, but this post just lists what I heard and didn't hear during Mr. Bisno's presentation.
Here are some of the basics of the new proposal:
Total number of units: 1,950
Number of Senior Housing units: 850
Mr. Bisno did advise about the types of units, but not the specific breakdown of the number of each type of unit.
Number of 2,3,and 4-bedroom Town house units, attached, but set apart from pedestal styled buildings: 100.
Mr. Bisno did not offer a breakdown as to the number of each type of unit in this section. Units like what was proposed did not appear in the original plan. These units will also have their own separate garages.
Number of unit in the podium or pedestal style buildings: 1,000.
Mr. Bisno did not offer a breakdown as to the number of each type of the several types that will be offered, but said the majority of these types will be of the 2-bedroom variety.
Mr. Bisno said that the Senior Housing section would remain with gates and be guarded, but the rest of the project would be accessible by the public.
Mr. Bisno said that the new proposal will create approximately 12 acres of park and open spaces that would be open to the public.
Mr. Bisno will be offering 5% discounts to folks currently living in San Pedro and possibly a few other areas, and offer the first 100 units to persons currently residing in San Pedro.
No statement was given about the projected population, including student population in the new proposal.
Mr. Bisno did not state the added number of vehicle trips that 1,950-unit project would create on Western Avenue. He did state facts about "PM peak hour trip generation" and that those numbers was lower than what he called the "R1" proposal, which I won't get into on this post. It will be covered very well in a subsequent post, though.
I asked Mr. David Shinder, Bob's consulting traffic engineer how many added vehicle trips the new proposal would create on Western Avenue and he could not give me an answer. I asked him again, to be sure I heard him correctly and he again stated he did not know what the number would be.
The least priced unit would cost approximately $330,000.00, and the most expensive unit would be in the $1.1 Million Dollar price range.
Mr. Bisno stated that the tallest building be have no more than 4 storeys, with many buildings being 2-3 storeys.
Bob still is going with approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space.
1,950 is 84.78% of 2,300
1,950 is 114.7% of 1,700.
If anybody heard any of these facts or numbers different than I heard them, please let me know.

RIDICULOUS!!!!
THIS WEALTHY DEVELOPER SPIT IN THE COMMUNITY'S FACE -- AGAIN!!
TELL ALL YOUR FAMILY FRIENDS TO BOMBARD JANICE HAHN WITH CALLS & LETTERS
THE NUMBER IS 429 ! NO ZONE CHANGE FROM R-1 !
i would concur that bisno's proposal is outrageous.
but i do not believe R-1 is the only solution.
a project of 800-900 units would be OK in my book.
but 1,950? who in the hell does he think he's kidding?
Well, my crystal ball was correct. This new proposal does nothing more than throw out a chair and rearrange the furniture. It's still about density and the "new" project size does little to reduce it. It would seem that Bob Bisno is not seriously considering compromise and neither should we. So it's still R-1 No Compromise in my book!
