Scope of Services Provided by Cullina Management

Entitlement Strategy & Height Variance Approvals

  • Directed the entitlement process with the City of Los Angeles (North Hollywood jurisdiction) to secure all required land use approvals for Bobrick’s planned facility expansion.
  • Successfully obtained a height variance to allow Bobrick to maximize vertical development potential on a constrained infill parcel.
  • Coordinated with planning staff, zoning administrators, and city decision‑makers to ensure compliance with municipal codes while preserving development flexibility.

FAA Coordination & Airspace Compliance

  • Managed the FAA review and approval process due to the site’s proximity to Hollywood Burbank Airport, ensuring all proposed building heights and construction activities met federal airspace safety requirements.
  • Oversaw submittals, airspace analyses, and Obstruction Evaluation (OE/AAA) filings to secure FAA clearance without compromising Bobrick’s building program.
  • Integrated FAA constraints into the entitlement strategy to avoid delays, redesigns, or capital inefficiencies.

Architectural & Engineering Collaboration

  • Worked closely with Bobrick’s architects and civil engineers to optimize the site layout, building massing, and circulation patterns.
  • Ensured the design team maximized usable floor area, operational efficiency, and long‑term expansion potential within the limits of zoning, FAA height restrictions, and site geometry.
  • Provided development guidance to align architectural concepts with entitlement requirements, infrastructure capacity, and Bobrick’s capital objectives.

Regulatory Navigation & Risk Mitigation

  • Identified municipal, federal, and airport‑related constraints that could impact development feasibility or construction sequencing.
  • Structured a regulatory pathway that minimized entitlement risk, reduced approval timelines, and protected Bobrick’s capital investment.
  • Coordinated with city departments, airport authorities, and engineering teams to maintain compliance and avoid costly redesigns.

Owner’s Representation & Capital Protection

  • Served as Bobrick’s owner’s representative, ensuring all entitlement, FAA, and design decisions aligned with long‑term operational needs and financial goals.
  • Provided transparent reporting, entitlement risk assessments, and strategic recommendations to support executive decision‑making.
  • Maintained oversight of consultant performance, regulatory timelines, and development milestones to safeguard project momentum
