L.A. City Council approves 16-story residential project in Hollywood 20 feet from Capitol Records under ground famed echo chambers
We all learned a lot more about vibrations than we ever knew before this started.
Councilman Garcetti
Supporters of the Capitol Records tower and the Yucca Street project attended a special hearing of the Los Angeles City Council Planning and Land Use Management Committee, Tuesday, June 24, 2008, in Los Angeles. To allay fears that construction would disrupt recording sessions at the Capitol Records building next door, the developer included plans to minimize noise and compensate the studios if necessary.
The Los Angeles City Council approved plans Friday for a 16-story residential tower in Hollywood, following weeks of warnings that construction work on the project would disrupt recordings at the landmark Capitol Records building next door.
Councilman Eric Garcetti, who represents a portion of Hollywood, said the city had added new measures that would safeguard work at the building's underground recording studios, which will be located less than 20 feet from the project's six-level, 242-space subterranean garage.
