Reasons for Exemption
The West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission (WLAAPC), in a determination dated January 31, 2024, denied an appeal of the Associate Zoning Administrator’s (AZA) action and sustained the AZA’s October 2, 2023 decision which did the following:
1. Found, pursuant to Section 12.26 K of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, that the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) erred or abused its discretion in its determination to issue Permit No. 16010-20000-04655 for the construction of a three-story, mixed use building comprised of a two-story Type V-A hotel and five-unit condominium over a 1-story Type I-A hotel and retail tenant spaces, above two levels of subterranean parking garage, with automobile mechanical lifts and the excavation of soil for the proposed two- level basement parking garage of the proposed three-story mixed-use building;
2. Found, pursuant to Section 12.26 K of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, that the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) did not err or abuse its discretion in its determination to issue Permit No. 16030-20000-07366 for the excavation of soil for the proposed two-level basement parking garage of the proposed three-story mixed-use building.
3. Adopted The findings.
The West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission has no authority under Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.26.K to exercise any discretion to add, modify or deny any existing conditions for the previously approved project to address environmental concerns. Based on this lack of discretion, this action is considered ministerial and is subject to the ministerial exemption set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(1).
