Full summary
Council File 24-1338 establishes a Temporary Preferential Parking District in the West Adams area of Council District 10, covering West 16th Place from West Boulevard to Vineyard Avenue, and Lafayette Road from Venice Boulevard to St. Charles Place. The district was created in response to residents experiencing a persistent lack of on-street parking throughout the day. Under the adopted restrictions, parking is prohibited at all times for non-permit holders, with the posted rule reading 'No Parking Anytime, Permits Exempt.' LADOT is authorized to post or remove signage accordingly and is directed to prepare, issue, and collect fees for resident permits in line with the Los Angeles Municipal Code. The file has its legal basis in California Vehicle Code Section 22507(a), which allows local authorities to establish preferential parking by resolution, and LAMC Section 80.58(d), which specifically authorizes temporary preferential parking districts through Council action. Councilmember Heather Hutt of the 10th District introduced and carried the measure. The original resolution was referred to the Transportation Committee in October 2024, approved by the committee on November 20, 2024, and adopted by the full Council on December 11, 2024. In October 2025, Councilmember Hutt brought a motion to amend the earlier Council action by adopting a substitute resolution that expanded the district to include one additional street segment — Lafayette Road from Venice Boulevard to St. Charles Place, which had not been part of the original resolution. Council adopted this amended version 13-0 on October 14, 2025. The file remains active and open. In August 2026, the Board of Transportation Commissioners submitted a new document related to the district, which was referred to the Transportation Committee. The committee scheduled a hearing for September 16, 2026. The district is set to expire on September 11, 2028, unless further action is taken.
