Brief

The City Planning Commission referred appeals concerning a vesting tentative tract (VTT-74602-2A) for a development spanning four parcels in the Wilshire Center–Koreatown area. The file has remained pending in the Planning and Land Use Management Committee since July 2020. The committee has repeatedly extended its deadline—most recently to January 1, 2027—without substantive action or a full committee hearing. The underlying project details and the nature of the appeals are not documented in the activity log.

Full summary

This file represents appeals of a vesting tentative tract for a proposed development at four addresses in Wilshire Center–Koreatown: 3432–3470 West Wilshire Boulevard, 659–699 South Mariposa Avenue, 3265–3287 West 7th Street, and 666–678 South Irolo Street. The City Planning Commission issued its report on July 14, 2020, and referred the matter to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee for consideration. Since that referral, the file has languished in committee without substantive movement. The Planning and Land Use Management Committee Chair has approved numerous extensions of the decision deadline—initially set to expire in September 2023, then repeatedly pushed forward to January 2027. Between 2020 and 2021, the committee scheduled and continued the item multiple times, including a community impact statement submission from the Wilshire Center–Koreatown neighborhood council in February 2021. After September 2021, activity shifted entirely to administrative extensions without further committee meetings or documented deliberation. The file is legally expired (original deadline was September 21, 2023) but remains formally open due to successive time extensions. No council vote has occurred, and no substantive committee discussion is documented in the activity log after early 2021. The underlying development proposal, the specific appeals at issue, and the reasons for the extended delay are not detailed in the available records.
