PLUM committee approves consent items, King Taco HCM and two heritage/appointment votes
Summary
The committee approved multiple consent items including building‑fee recommendations, designated King Taco as a Historic‑Cultural Monument, appointed Irma Venegas to the Harbor Area Planning Commission, and approved a limited Historic‑Cultural Monument designation for the Hollywood Center Motel's sign and breeze‑block wall.
The Planning and Land Use Management Committee approved several non‑controversial and procedural items on Wednesday, including consent placement and roll‑call adoption of items 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11, approval of Building & Safety fee recommendations (item 6) following a separate presentation, the designation of King Taco Restaurant as a Historic‑Cultural Monument, the appointment of Irma Laura Venegas to the Harbor Area Planning Commission, and a limited HCM designation for surviving elements of the Hollywood Center Motel.
Key votes and actions:
- Consent calendar: Items 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 were placed on consent and approved by the committee (five ayes). The chair described an amendment to item 4 requesting a Class A appraisal of a property at 2100 Southwestern Avenue and a report from the Los Angeles Housing Department on residents' rights in senior care facilities.
- Item 6 (Building & Safety fee study): Pulled from consent for questions; staff and consultant Willdan presented the fee study and the committee later approved item 6 by roll call.
- King Taco HCM: City Planning recommended designating King Taco Restaurant in Cypress Park as an HCM for its cultural significance; the committee approved the designation by roll call.
- Appointment: Irma Laura Venegas was appointed to the Harbor Area Planning Commission and the nomination moves to full Council.
- Hollywood Center Motel HCM: Following fire damage to much of the site, the Cultural Heritage Commission recommended a limited designation covering the neon pole sign and breeze‑block wall on Sunset Boulevard; the committee approved the limited HCM designation.
The votes were recorded by roll call and most measures passed unanimously. Several items that had been proposed for consent generated public comment before the roll call.
