City and state officials unveiled a plan Friday to acquire 77 parcels from the California Department of Transportation and build affordable housing and parks in El Sereno where the 710 Freeway was once supposed to go
Left in limbo were hundreds of homes acquired by the California Department of Transportation, ranging from modest residences in El Sereno to Craftsman mansions on stately streets in South Pasadena. Most famously, Caltrans real estate portfolio includes the 110-year-old Pasadena childhood home of chef Julia Child, which has been vacant for 35 years.
The proposal lightly increases the number of homes in the neighborhood, with efforts to add accessory dwelling units or backyard homes on single-family parcels and apartment construction confined to larger lots on the neighborhood’s edge. A dusty corner property marred by cracked concrete, where officials held Friday’s news conference would become 16 apartments with a retail business or café on the bottom floor.
The city has set aside $2.5 million for 77 vacant homes and lots in El Sereno, which De León believes will be enough to buy all of them.De León, who was joined by the community’s state legislators — Democratic Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo and Sen. Maria Elena Durazo — at the news conference, said it’s vital for all the vacant properties to be sold all together so the city can execute the plan in its entirety.
Flores said the group is still developing its proposal for the properties, but that it would also likely include a mix of single-family homes, smaller backyard units, apartments and parks.
