PLUM committee approves seven consent items, adds airport noise monitoring report and sober‑living policy review
Summary
The Los Angeles PLUM Committee voted unanimously to approve items 1–7 on consent, directing Los Angeles World Airports to study single‑event noise monitoring, adding the Sunkist Growers headquarters to the city's historic‑cultural monuments list, and requesting a report on sober‑living facility policy options.
The Planning and Land Use Management Committee voted 5‑0 on Feb. 4 to approve seven consent items with several staff instructions and one additional policy review. The committee chair moved the items on consent and the roll call recorded five ayes.
The committee asked Los Angeles World Airports to report on the feasibility and cost of single‑event noise monitoring in residential communities immediately outside airport noise contour boundaries where prior contours lacked site‑specific measurements, and to state whether airport revenue could finance that monitoring or whether the city would need to pay. The request is intended to inform best practices for an airport noise contour and environmental‑exposure overlay zone.
The committee also directed the inclusion of the Sunkist Growers headquarters building at 14130 West Riverside Drive on the city’s list of historic‑cultural monuments and adopted a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for that item. Planning staff reports dated 02/04/2026 and Department of Building and Safety reports dated 12/08/2025 were accepted as recommended.
Councilmember Raman additionally asked that item 3 include a report from the Department of City Planning, with assistance from the City Attorney, on legal and policy options to reduce concentrations of sober‑living facilities in residential neighborhoods and a separate report on existing approval policies for such facilities. The chair agreed to add the requested reporting and the item remained on consent with that amendment.
Miss Rosales read the public‑comment rules before the vote; no substantive opposition was raised during the brief public‑comment period for these consent items. The committee’s action implements the chair’s recommendations and sends the specified requests to the relevant departments for follow‑up.
