Loading...
Summary
The Planning and Land Use Management Committee approved consent items including a height-district change for 12681 Jefferson Boulevard with a voluntary $500,000 contribution to Council District 11's public benefits trust fund; other consent items were approved and one item was continued.
The Planning and Land Use Management Committee approved several consent items and amended the approval for a Jefferson Boulevard project to include a voluntary community-benefit payment.
Chair Blumenfield recommended items 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 be taken as consent; the committee voted to approve items 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and approved item 1 as amended. Item 8 was continued to a later date.
The amendment read into the record for item 1 (12681 Jefferson Boulevard, Case CPC-2024-015; environmental case ENVD-2024-116-MND; Council file referenced 25-1372) specifies that, as a voluntary condition, the applicant will pay $500,000 into the Council District 11 public benefits trust fund (Council File 07-0608) after project entitlements are final and non-appealable and after the city issues building permits consistent with those entitlements; payment is required prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
Supporters of the consent items included Matthew Taiclei of Safe Parking LA, Charlie Fisher (speaking on Item 7, a cultural heritage nomination in Sunland), and Christopher Golder representing Public Storage, all of whom urged approval during the public-comment period reserved for consent items. Craig Bullock, representing Councilmember Park's office, also spoke in favor and thanked the applicant and neighborhood council for the negotiated community benefits package.
Roll call as read by the clerk recorded ayes from the members present and noted absences; the committee recorded three ayes and approved the listed consent items and the amendment to Item 1.
The committee moved the nomination items to full council where required by process. Item 8 was continued to the date announced at the meeting.
Authorities and case references were read into the record as part of the approval motion; the committee's action sends the items on according to standard PLUM procedures.
