A large residential property in Van Nuys could be subdivided to make room for nine new small lot homes while retaining the existing house at the front of the property.
The proposed development is located at 6443 N. Columbus Avenue, just north of Victory Boulevard and west of Sepulveda Boulevard. Plans filed with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning call for developing the large rear portion of the approximately half-acre property.
Development Details
According to planning case VTT-85188-SH-HCA, the applicant is seeking approval for a small lot subdivision that would create nine new residential lots behind the existing single-family home.
The proposed homes would each rise three stories and include private garages. Combined with the retained house, the completed property would contain a total of 10 residences.

- Existing home: To remain
- Building height: Three stories
- Parking: Private garages
- Applicant: Columbus 6443, LLC

The application is being processed under provisions associated with California Senate Bill 1123, which expanded streamlined subdivision opportunities for qualifying residential projects. The proposal remains subject to review by the City of Los Angeles and may change as it moves through the approval process.
The project would add nine residences to the rear portion of the existing property.
Existing Site and Surrounding Area
The property is currently developed with a single-family house positioned near the front of a deep lot. The proposed subdivision would primarily use the large rear yard, allowing the original residence to remain along Columbus Avenue.
The site is located in a residential neighborhood near Victory Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard and the Metro G Line’s Sepulveda Station.
