WeHo Preservation Commission Endorses Revised French Market Plan

#FrenchMarket #WeHo #LGBTQcommunity With a 5-2 vote on Monday night, West Hollywood’s Historic Preservation Commission gave its OK to revised plans for the proposed French Market project. The commission had previously given its blessing to the project in August, but after developer Faring reduced the size of the building, the project had to come back for another review. The revised, U-shaped French Market project will now be three stories tall instead of four stories in its rear portion, the height reduced from 60 feet to 49 ½ feet tall. It will also see more of the original French Market building preserved while the center “paseo” between buildings will be bigger. With Monday’s vote, the commission certified the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and also approved the certificate of appropriateness for the historic building. Located at 7985 Santa Monica Blvd., at Laurel Avenue, the French Market Place building dates to 1936 when it opened as a grocery store. Howe
