Affordable development incentives include a 100% City density bonus if 100% affordable housing is developed, along with an approximately 33% State density bonus, if more than 15% affordable is included. Additional city and state incentives include a fast-tracked entitlement process, no height restrictions, reduced parking requirements, no on-site retail requirements, etc. Other opportunities could be a single-tenant building for a large retailer, a Transit Oriented Commercial mixed-use project, an EV charging site, senior housing, etc.
  
A pure EV charging use would require a 10-foot setback from residential due to a change of use and conformity to the new fire code. If an EV car company were to maintain the grandfathered auto repair use, adding EV charging would not require demolishing the existing improvements and mandating the set-back requirement. The standalone building (2720 Lincoln Boulevard) has three drive-through lanes, well suited as a test-drive queue for showcasing an EV brand's line of cars. 
 
The property is located immediately south of Ocean Park Boulevard, 1 mile south of the Santa Monica Pier and the Exposition Light Rail. Numerous bus routes pass directly in front of the property.
