Development Constraints and Opportunities

Development Constraints Limited vacant and under-utilized land supply • Extensive strip commercial with narrow lot depths along Imperial Highway • Light rail transit (LRT) station about ½ mile from center of Planning Area; not conducive • for adjacent TOD development Difficult access for pedestrians to LRT station in middle of I-105 Freeway; must cross on- • and off-ramps Competitive retail center just south of I-105 in Hawthorne, i.e., Target/Lowes center • Future competitive retail/entertainment center at Hollywood Park • Level of crime noted in interviews as an issue • Low, non-residential growth forecasts for largely, built-out area •

Development Opportunities Availability of transit station in middle of I-105 • With improved connectivity, LRT driven demand for higher density owner and • rental housing At crossroads of two major arterials: Imperial Hwy and Crenshaw • Mixed-use residential potential within larger, retail centers • Private sector driven revitalization of retail centers taking place • Existing higher-density apartments along eastern Imperial Highway • Well located commercial and services business serving local households and • drive-by traffic Development of Hollywood Park and NFL stadium will generate higher level of • drive-by traffic

Existing Conditions Intersection Level of Service (LOS) is a measure of traffic operating conditions in the project area 16 intersections analyzed for peak hour traffic conditions • 12 intersections operate at satisfactory LOS (A-D) o Following 4 intersections operate at LOS E or worse: o Aviation Blvd/Manchester Blvd (a.m. peak hour) • Aviation Blvd/Arbor Vitae St (a.m. peak hour) • La Cienega Blvd/Florence Ave (p.m. peak hour) • Prairie Ave/Imperial Hwy (a.m. peak hour) • 32

Inglewood Transit-Oriented Development Plans Downtown Inglewood ▪ Fairview Heights ▪ Westchester/Veterans ▪ Crenshaw/Imperial Infrastructure Crenshaw/Imperial

Infrastructure: Crenshaw/Imperial This project area is fully developed with residential and commercial • properties and a public school. The available infrastructure (utilities and roads) have little or no constraints but there are some utilities that may need upgrades or line extensions regarding future redevelopment and property usage plans. Potential utility line limitations: • – Fiber Optics – available along Imperial Hwy, South Van Ness, and S. Cherry St. only – Water – 6” lines may need to be upsized for fire water safety demands – Sewer – Asbestos Cement pipes may need replacement to environmentally friendlier pipes – Electrical/Cable/Phone – Aboveground lines should eventually go underground
