On February 4, 2020, the Los Angeles City Council adopted a Planning and Land Use Management Committee Report, thereby approving a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Planning Case No. ENV-2018-2454-CE-1A) for a multi-family residential project at 806 West Adams Boulevard. The 2.8-acre urban infill development was proposed to include 102 residential units, distributed among six three-story buildings atop a single-level podium parking structure, along with a four-story clubhouse. Five units were designated for very low-income households and two for workforce housing. The project also featured outdoor amenities like a swimming pool and rooftop decks. This approval faced legal challenges from the West Adams Heritage Association and Adams Severance Coalition, leading to complex litigation. Although a trial court initially upheld the approvals in February 2022, the Court of Appeal reversed this in August 2023. Following a review by the California Supreme Court, the case was remanded. On October 31, 2024, the Court of Appeal, while ruling in favor of the City on noise impacts based on new legislation, determined that the City had failed to adequately assess the project's consistency with the Exposition/University Park Redevelopment Plan. Consequently, a court-issued writ of mandate, signed on April 9, 2025, commanded the City Council to void, vacate, and set aside its February 4, 2020 action that granted the CEQA exemption. The writ further directed that the exemption should not be reinstated until the project's consistency with the Redevelopment Plan is determined.
