Mel's Drive-In Site Faces Wrecking Ball for Eight-Story Santa Monica Housing Tower

A new filing would tear down Mel's Drive-In on Lincoln Boulevard, a building dating to 1959, and replace it with an eight-story, 138-unit apartment complex. Only 14 units would be set aside as affordable, but that's enough to unlock density bonuses letting the owner build bigger than zoning normally allows.
