This is the City Clerk's status for the council file itself, not the outcome of the measure. A file often stays open after the Council has already adopted an item. The summary above reflects the latest recorded action.

Brief

Council File 24-1338 creates a temporary preferential parking district (District No. 346) covering a small residential area bounded by 16th Place, West Boulevard, Vineyard Avenue, La Fayette Road, Venice Boulevard, and St Charles Place. The file was initially adopted by Council in December 2024, then readopted in October 2025 with a 13-0-2 vote. The Transportation Committee approved it again on September 16, 2026, following a referral from the Board of Transportation Commissioners in August 2026.

Full summary

Council File 24-1338 establishes Temporary Preferential Parking District No. 346 in the Mid-City neighborhood of Council District 10, covering two specific street segments: 16th Place between West Boulevard and Vineyard Avenue, and La Fayette Road between Venice Boulevard and St. Charles Place. The district was created to address a documented shortage of on-street parking for residents, caused by customers and employees of nearby businesses and by commuters who park on residential streets to catch transit buses on Venice Boulevard. Residents submitted signed petitions representing more than 75 percent of dwelling units on the affected block of 16th Place, meeting the legal threshold for action. Councilmember Heather Hutt introduced the file in October 2024, and Council initially adopted a resolution establishing the district in December 2024. In October 2025, Hutt moved to amend that resolution by adding La Fayette Road as a second covered street segment. Council adopted the amended resolution 13-0-2. LADOT is authorized under the district to post a range of parking restrictions on residential portions of both street segments, including combinations of time-limited parking during daytime hours and no-parking overnight, with all restrictions carrying a permit exemption for District No. 346 holders. LADOT is also directed to prepare and sell permits to qualifying residents and to install or remove restrictions on additional segments upon receipt of valid petitions without requiring further Council action. The most recent development is the Transportation Committee's approval on September 16, 2026, of a Board of Transportation Commissioners report that formally designates the district as TPPD No. 346 and lays out the full set of authorized restrictions. The Board found the establishment exempt from CEQA review as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption. The committee voted to recommend Council adoption, but the full Council has not yet acted. The file remains open and awaiting a Council vote, with an expiration date of September 16, 2028. Permit revenue is expected to cover the cost of implementing, administering, and enforcing the district.
