Council keeps dance-hall permit issue alive, sends matter to committee for review
Summary
The council voted to adopt findings and keep alive a Central Area Planning Commission decision on a dance-hall permit and hours in Hollywood, sending the matter to committee for further review.
The Los Angeles City Council on Dec. 21 adopted findings and kept alive a matter concerning a dance-hall permit and hours in Hollywood so it could be reviewed by council committee, voting 10-0.
City attorneys said the action concerned an approval by the Central Area Planning Commission and required the council to act at this meeting to keep procedural timelines intact. Councilmember Garcetti said the item involved Greek dancing in Hollywood and that neighborhood testimony at the planning commission had been presented "the wrong way," prompting a need for committee review to assess noise impacts and other neighborhood concerns.
The motion does not change hours or grant an extension; it sends the matter to committee so the council can assess noise and neighborhood impacts with input from the planning commission and stakeholders. The clerk recorded 10 ayes.
No amendments or vote splits were recorded on the council floor; the action was procedural and intended to ensure the council could consider the permit and hours within committee before returning for final action.
