We represented St. Monica Catholic Community in negotiating a Development Agreement with the City of Santa Monica for improvements to its church and school campus including a new community center with subterranean parking, an addition to the high school, and renovations to the auditorium, gymnasium and other facilities. More than 10 years later, we assisted with negotiating amendments to the Development Agreement to release the church from an obligation to lease off-site parking to neighboring users freeing up the possibility of the underutilized surface parking lot to be sold and/or redeveloped for housing.

Entitlements secured include: Development Agreement, Certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR), and Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Hearing bodies: Santa Monica Planning Commission, Santa Monica City Council
