Council approves five-year lease for Housing Authority parking lot at Sixth and Columbia
Summary
The council approved a five-year lease of a small city-owned corner lot to the Housing Authority to add parking for its public-safety/security force; council members asked for exact square footage to be provided.
The Los Angeles City Council approved a five-year lease to the Housing Authority for about 13,500 square feet at Sixth and Columbia to establish a parking lot for the authority’s public-safety/security force.
Hans Klein, identified as the Housing Authority general services officer, said the property is part of the former Central Receiving Hospital and is “primarily a paved area” with a “small patch of lawn” adjacent. Klein told the council the lease would round off the number of spaces and improve driveway access. Klein could not provide an exact measurement when asked; Council Member Walters requested square‑footage details as soon as possible.
Council Member Bernsen moved reconsideration so a Housing Authority representative could answer questions; the council reconsidered and then approved the lease. The item was sent forthwith with an 11-0 recorded vote.
Council members pressed staff for clarification about the small lawn area because of local park access concerns; Klein said the lawn patch is minimal and that exact measurements would be supplied on request.
