There’s no shortage of places in the San Fernando Valley where residents can buy vegan ice cream, poke bowls or organic smoothies. Sherman Oaks is about to welcome one more.

A new Whole Foods Market, restaurant and retail complex has been approved for the corner of Ventura Boulevard and Tyrone Avenue in Sherman Oaks.

A 74,000-square-foot mixed-commercial building at 14311 Ventura Blvd. will feature two levels of underground parking, a loading area and new landscaping around the site, according to an application submitted to the planning department.

The Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee and L.A.’s planning commission signed off on the project, and the City Council approved it last month.

The two-story building will have a 44,000-square-foot podium-style grocery store along with an outdoor patio, shops, restaurants and offices.

In addition, the store will house a parking lot with 325 car and 75 bike spaces.

The market, which will operate from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., is seeking a permit to allow alcohol sales. “The instructional tastings will provide a service to allow patrons to sample alcohol products for sale in the store before they purchase and to learn more about the product,” according to the permit application.

As part of the project, developers proposed a 3,000-square-foot dog park at the rear of the site. The remaining stores on site will be demolished.

In the San Fernando Valley, Sherman Oaks hosts two Whole Foods stores. There are also markets in Glendale, Tarzana, Northridge and Woodland Hills.

The new store will be built on an empty lot of a former car wash.

In the past, residents expressed concerns at community meetings about potential traffic in the area and delivery trucks. They said the market would attract more cars to already congested areas.

But Jeff Kalban, chairman of the Sherman Oaks Neighborhool Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee, said the new complex will make the area more walkable.

“Traffic issues are universal, and we get hit hard in that area,” he said. “The content that the community addressed with the Whole Foods design team was well addressed. The community challenged the Whole Foods design team and they came back with designs changes that resolved the concerns.”

Despite those concerns, the project gained approval from the council’s nine-member Planning and Land Use Committee and city planners.

In addition, the project received exemptions to local planning rules, which permitted building height of up to 38 feet for the northern portion of the building on Moorpark Street, which is 8 feet higher than local rules allow, according to the city planners’ website.

Representatives for Pacific Star Capital, the developer of the Whole Foods project, couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
