A developer’s proposal for a luxury hotel in the Santa Monica Mountains can continue to make its way through the review process after the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday deadlocked on a council member’s attempt to block the project
in the Santa Monica Mountains can continue to make its way through the review process after the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday deadlocked on a council member’s attempt to block the project.
The council member argues that the resort is inappropriate for the Santa Monica Mountains. She also alleges an ethical conflict involving a former city staffer who oversaw planning issues in the council district she now represents. The former staffer denies wrongdoing.“This is a bad project,” she added. “The process was deeply flawed.
The proposed development in the Santa Monica Mountains is supported by a powerful labor union. Katy Yaroslavsky, the wealthy neighborhood’s City Council representative, opposes it. Among those who turned out at Tuesday’s meeting was “Hart to Hart” actress Stefanie Powers, who said she’s lived in Benedict Canyon since the 1960s. An opponent of the hotel, she told the council member that the “future of this planet” is “not good” — remarks that drew loud applause.
“The [environmental impact review] that I expect will address these issues isn’t even before us yet because the process has not been completed,” Park said.cleared an initial hurdle at the Planning Department in October 2017 when the city’s Planning Director Vince Bertoni allowed him to pursue a general plan amendment change for a hotel resort in Benedict Canyon. The hillside area isn’t zoned for hotel use.
Yaroslavsky also introduced a motion on Tuesday, seconded by Councilmember Tim McOsker, that seeks to toughen the city’s lobbying rules.
