This motion by Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, seconded by Councilmember Blumenfield, asserts the City Council’s jurisdiction under Section 245 of the Los Angeles City Charter over the City Planning Commission’s April 10, 2025 decision denying an appeal of the Director of Planning’s December 11, 2024 determination. The original determination approved demolition of four rent-stabilized units and the construction of a new four-story, 19-unit multifamily building with ground-floor retail at 5271-5277 Sunset Boulevard within Council District 13. The motion highlights concerns over tenant relocation rights under the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB 330), notes that tenants received a Notice to Quit more than a year before the case was heard, and seeks further review to ensure existing residents’ rights are upheld. Upon assertion of jurisdiction, the matter is to be referred to committee for in-depth analysis of compliance with state law and proper protections for rent-stabilized tenants.
