Tarzana Car Wash and Falafel Stand Make Way for Apartments

Crazy Falafel, a popular falafel and kabob stand, and its host business Crazy Car Wash in Tarzana will be demolished to make space for 59 apartments after receiving Los Angeles City Council’s approval. Per a Daily News report, L.A. City Council approved a density bonus this week for developer Yarcob Investment LLC to construct a mixed-use apartment building that will replace the automotive and restaurant businesses at 19336-19360 W. Ventura Blvd. The new development will see four stories of residential space rise that will include 8,533 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor and 146 subterranean parking spaces. According to the report, the project, in the works for more than a year, received approval last month from the L.A. City Planning Commission. Crazy Falafel has other local outlets in Granada Hills and Westwood. The chain also has an outpost in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
