Committee approves historic designation, zoning changes and extensions; several items pass by unanimous vote
Summary
The Planning Committee advanced a package of items including a historic-cultural designation for Clinton Manor, zoning approvals for a storage project and a hotel, extension of a COVID emergency ordinance, and multiple administrative reports. Most items passed unanimously by voice vote.
The Planning and Land Use Management Committee moved multiple agenda items to the City Council this meeting, approving a historic-cultural designation, several zoning and land-use actions, and extensions of temporary measures.
The committee unanimously approved the Cultural Heritage Commission’s recommendation to designate Clinton Manor as a historic‑cultural monument. Staff described the property as “built in 1940” and an example of period architecture; neighbors and preservation groups testified in favor. Committee members voted yes: Bloomfield, Hot, Nazarian (recorded present earlier as absent then yes on the roll calls), Lee and Raman (five yes votes) and the item passed to council for final action.
Also approved by unanimous voice vote were: a zoning change and related approvals for a multi‑unit storage facility in Hollywood (project at 965 Suberthrie Street), a zone change to permit a 20‑unit hotel including four very‑low‑income units in Council District 10, and a Department of Planning report on private off‑street parking and related regulatory recommendations. The committee recorded each of these as approved by consensus with no oppositions noted during the roll calls.
The committee approved by unanimous vote an extension of a COVID‑19 emergency ordinance that provides regulatory relief to small businesses (parking, timing and fees). Staff recommended a final 12‑month extension through February 2026; the committee adopted the recommendation and instructed staff to return with implementation details.
Votes at a glance: Clinton Manor historic‑cultural designation — approved (5–0); Hollywood storage project (zone change) — approved (5–0); Hotel zoning change in CD10 (20 units, 4 very‑low‑income units) — approved (5–0); Department of Planning report on off‑street parking and related instruction — approved (5–0); COVID‑19 emergency ordinance extension — approved (5–0); several other administrative reports and consensus items were also advanced.
The meeting record shows no recorded dissenting votes on these items. Several items had no public opposition at the hearing; others had supporters speak in favor. Items approved by the committee will be forwarded to the full City Council for final action or implementation as required.
Looking ahead, the committee scheduled other contested items for further review or continued hearings; one contested appeal was continued to allow additional review and to give the applicant time to prepare supplementary materials.
