A 252 parking garage for 247 units with 11,000 square feet of ground level retail space? Wow, now that sounds a HECK of a lot better than when I hear 350 unit buildings with 20,500 square feet of retail space and 1,000 parking spots built. Avant must have gotten some parking variance because with 252 - 247 ratio with retail..there will either be 1) no dedicated parking for retail/restaurants or 2) some units will have no parking.
Nice to hear there was some reduced parking. Not everybody needs a car. Driving should be a choice, just like taking transit or biking. Just providing parking, is encouraging driving. If people want to park a car, they can buy a monthly pass next door. This is why there is cheaper rent in other cities when the developer doesn't need to build ridicoulous parking garages. Cut down the parking requirements and you'll see more affordable development in LA.
