| 40-unit apartment complex on Scoville |
 |
| Renovation of old DVD World site |
The renderings show that the front buildings will be renovated to become a two story site with a medical clinic that includes dental, medical and pediatrics on the ground level and two restaurants on the second level with roof top views. Public elevator access will be at the west end and access to the medical offices will be along the Foothill frontage. 135 parking spaces will be in the rear and on the roof. The old Security Pacific Bank building at the corner of Eldora and Foothill are not part of the renovation plans. Behind the site on what is currently a large parking lot, a 40 unit apartment building will be built and is a separate project from the front medical clinic/restaurant renovation. All access to parking for both the commercial and apartments will be from Scoville. 82 underground parking spaces will serve the apartment complex which will include 9 two bedroom and one 4 bedroom units per floor for a total of 40 units that start at 1,000 sq. ft. per unit. Most all units will have balconies. There will be a community room within the complex as well as some center open space. There will be a common area on the roof with outside BBQ. Five of the units will be "Affordable Housing" available to tenants within certain income limits. Adding these five affordable housing units allows the owner a reduction to the parking requirements, an increase in the height and reduction of set backs. It was emphasized that although they are allowed reduced parking, their development will serve the community better by their adding more parking and widening Scoville.
We video taped the presentation and you can see it here:
Construction could begin anytime with the excavation of the rear parking lot. Full completion in about a year or so. Future updates on these projects will be presented at STNC and LUC meetings.
Photo renderings show the proposed renovation of the commercial frontage at Foothill and Scoville and the proposed 40-unit apartment complex.

Thank you STNC for making a video of the presentation available for public viewing. Very effective.
over building. look at commerace ave and foothill blvd where sunrise ford was ,this looks the same with no one renting. the streets now are getting over crowded just add more cars about 200 of them. we need more places to eat yes. but overcrowding are streets and neighborhoods is not the answer. what is the rent? can they afford to live there a long time? its nice when but if you can not afford to eat or rent what good is it.
Thank you. I hope more restaurant and better businesses will reside in Sunland. Tired of seeing liquor stores, smoke shops, auto shop and fast food stores. More organic, local farmers market fresh restaurants, cafes and markets please. Would love for sunland/ foothill to look like south pasadena's mission street, monrovia's downtown and montrose honolulu st.
Beautiful design of commercial building.Need more green space, way too many apartments (resulting in high density and excessive traffic and parking (same complant we had with KMart project). Please don't Los Angelize Tujunga. Would love to see that building updated, but fee the apartment idea is badly planned. Doubt if developers even live close by where any of their planning will affect them.

Agree with above posting- way too much density and insufficent parking. Tujunga is already suffering from this problem, just look at Fernglen or Mountair in Tujunga. And way tooo many marijuana dispensaries in both Sunland & Tujunga, really drags down the look of Foothill. Need more decent stores, NOT more residential.
Do not build it !
I am 100% against this project.
How could this be even a possibility?
Is it an idealistic notion that contemporary small towns ought to look town like rather than sections of strip mall suburban sprawl, riddled with view blocking buildings, disguised cell towers and low class billboards.
Why does La Canada look like it does?
Do you people even live here -have any friends from another city, ever traveled out of this town.
What is wrong with traveling down the scenic corridor and actually having a nice view of the mountains?
Why do we want to become famous for being the ugliest town in America?
This project is too big and boxy for our neighborhood.
The street is definitely not wide enough.
That area is already overcrowded on the small street.
Why do we have to cram in so much in our litle town? That would cause way too much traffic around that area.
This project is far too big and boxy for our neighborhood.
The street is definitely not wide enough to support a large housing unit and more parking with traffic in and out. That area is already overcrowded on such a small street. I drive if frequently as I live close by, and I constantly have to maneuver around a car coming in the opposite direction. I have no problem updating the face of the Boulevard, but am highly opposed to a large housing unit behind it.
The proposed building is way to large for the area. We do not need to cram in additional housing, which would bring in more cars, traffic, congestion. I live close by the area, and have to maneuver my car around opposing traffic just to move up and down Scoville. While I am not opposed to updating the face of the buildings in the boulevard, I am highly opposed to cramming in a large housing complex and all that comes with it. Our small town is becoming way too overcrowded with proposals like this contributing to that fact.
