Council rescinds earlier action after court order in Canyon Homeowners Association case
Summary
The council voted to rescind a prior decision on a hillside project after a court ordered the action set aside; the rescission carried on a recorded 10 ayes.
The Los Angeles City Council on Sept. 5 rescinded a prior council action related to a hillside development after a court ordered the council to set aside a condition it had added to a Board of Zoning Appeals determination. The clerk recorded the vote as 10 ayes.
A speaker for the property owner argued in open comment that the council no longer had the legal authority to re-modify or veto the board decision because the statutory period for council review had expired. The speaker noted ongoing council consideration of broader hillside-ordinance amendments but said that, for this case, the court ordered the council’s earlier action set aside.
After the closed-session discussion and return to open session the council voted to rescind its prior action in the case titled Canyon Homeowners Association v. City of Los Angeles. The clerk recorded the roll call for item 45(d) as 10 ayes on the rescission.
The council’s action complies with the court order; staff and the city attorney will proceed consistent with the court’s instructions and any applicable appellate timelines.
