A five-story affordable housing development proposed for 5922 North Lemp Avenue in North Hollywood would contain 81 one-bedroom apartments. The project is identified in the architectural plans as Lemp 81, with 5922 Lemp LLC listed as the client and Stockton Architects, Inc. as architect.
All 81 apartments would contain one bedroom and one bathroom, with six plan variations ranging from approximately 450 to 506 square feet. The affordability program assigns 80 percent of the homes to low-income households and 20 percent to moderate-income households.

The plans calculate a seven-unit base density for the RD2-zoned property before applying the provisions available to the 100 percent affordable project. The resulting proposal reaches 81 apartments and a floor-area ratio of 4.84:1, compared with an otherwise permitted 3:1. The requested incentives also allow a height of 56 feet instead of 45 feet, reduced side and front yards, and a reduction in required long-term bicycle parking.
No automobile parking is required under the project plans. Instead, the development would provide 32 long-term and six short-term bicycle spaces. Common open space totals 4,358 square feet, divided between a 1,502-square-foot rear yard and a 2,856-square-foot roof deck. Ground-floor plans and building sections also identify a recreation room, lobby, laundry area, bicycle room, trash and recycling space, stairs, and an elevator.

Project elevations and renderings show the exterior divided into blue, white, gray, and muted green sections with dark-framed windows and a stone-textured entrance area. A large projecting white frame defines part of the street elevation, while the roofline changes around the building’s circulation enclosures. The construction details identify Hardiplank siding on portions of the exterior assembly.
