In the face of continued neighborhood opposition to its residential project, New Urban West Inc. plans to sell the former General Motors training facility in Burbank’s Rancho neighborhood to a local school. The Lycee International de Los Angeles has entered escrow on the Riverside Drive property and a deal is expected to close in 90 days, New Urban West Senior Vice President Tom Zanic said. Representatives from the school could not immediately be reached for comment. New Urban has faced stiff opposition in its plan to transform the former GM training site into a residential community. Because the site is zoned for commercial and office uses, New Urban West would need a zone change to build residential units. In February, the Santa Monica-based developer trimmed its original plan for 120 condominiums to 50 single-family homes, but many residents—who once defeated a neighborhood Whole Foods–still opposed the project fearing it would still threaten the Rancho’s equestrian character. Jay Geisenheimer–a member of the Rancho Review Board, which provides input on proposed developments in the equestrian neighborhood—said the neighborhood was ecstatic over the development. Zanic said he expects the escrow to close, but that if it falls through, New Urban West will continue the entitlement process for its 50 single-family home proposal.
