Hotel
Row
A second hotel proposal at
Brooks Avenue and Abbot Kinney Blvd. is wending its way through the approval
process. The new proposal would level the Broadway Gymnastics building, and most
everything else in sight, in order to build a 43-room luxury hotel plus condos
and retail. A Planning Commission hearing has considered the project. Venetians
should let Councilmember Bill Rosendahl know their views by calling 311 and
asking for him.
The first project, on
the south side of Brooks is even larger.
Lincoln Place
Lawsuit
Tenants have filed a
lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and corporate-owner AIMCO in the
long-running battle to save the affordable home in Venice’s largest garden
apartment complex. The suit, brought under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) by Santa Monica attorney John Murdock on behalf of LPTA and disabled
tenant Ingrid Mueller, says the city is illegally refusing to enforce
redevelopment conditions, including comprehensive tenant protections it had
worked out with the owners.
The City
Attorney’s office has delayed the hearing until Aug. 16, only two weeks
before the latest deadline to evict seniors and disabled tenants.
