A single-family parcel near the Metro E Line is planned to be subdivided into four small-lot homes, two with attached junior ADUs, using California’s SB 684 streamlined approval path.
A 4,931-square-foot corner lot at 5323 W. Blackwelder St. is proposed to be subdivided into four single-family homes.
The project would use SB 684’s small-lot provisions and is designed by Feld & Associates for applicant Shlomo Grawitzky.
A single-family house parcel in West Adams is proposed for redevelopment as a small-lot subdivision. The applicant, Shlomo Grawitzky, filed plans with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning to split the 4,931-square-foot corner lot at 5323 W. Blackwelder Street into four individual housing lots. Feld & Associates prepared the project design.
The proposal calls for four single-family houses arranged as small-lot homes. Two of the units are shown with attached junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs). Building elevations indicate contemporary four-story forms. The planned unit mix includes three- and four-bedroom floor plans. Parking provision is one on-site parking space per house.
The project is proposed to take advantage of SB 684, the state law that streamlines approval for small-lot housing developments. Under those provisions the design accommodates one parking space per dwelling rather than the more typical two-space standard. The story notes that parking is already not legally required at this location because of proximity to Metro's E Line stops at La Brea Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard.
Site context and recent transaction The lot sits near transit, a factor that affects local parking requirements and eligibility for SB 684 provisions. City records show the property last sold in September 2025 for $840,000.
Plans presented show vertical, four-story contemporary structures. The layout indicates individual entrances typical of small-lot subdivisions, with a mix of three- and four-bedroom units and two JADUs integrated into two homes. Each home would supply a single parking stall. No public art, affordable housing set-aside, or exact unit square-footages are stated in the filing information provided.
How this fits local housing patterns Small-lot subdivisions have been used across Los Angeles to increase home counts on parcels formerly occupied by single-family houses. The filing for Blackwelder Street echoes other recent small-lot and infill proposals that use SB 684 to streamline approvals and reduce minimum parking supply when sites are near frequent transit service.
Follow-up steps include the city planning review and any public outreach or hearing requirements. The specific timeline for entitlement, demolition of the current house, permit issuance, and construction start were not provided in the filing details summarized here.
The project would replace a single-family house with four small-lot homes, two featuring attached junior ADUs, taking advantage of SB 684 and the site's proximity to E Line stops. Design work by Feld & Associates shows contemporary four-story buildings and a three- and four-bedroom mix, with one parking space per home.
