Brief

Councilmember Traci Park, seconded by Bob Blumenfield, introduced a motion to amend the City's General Plan and change zoning for 14217 West Sunset Boulevard, which borders Will Rogers State Historical Park. The file was referred to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee on June 16, 2026, and the committee approved the item on June 23, 2026. The file remains open pending further council action.

Full summary

A 2000 land swap and lot line adjustment between the private parcel at 14217 West Sunset Boulevard and Will Rogers State Historical Park was never accompanied by the corresponding zoning and General Plan updates, leaving both properties with inverted designations for the past 25 years. Land the State acquired in the swap is still zoned RE-40-1, a residential designation that would allow private development on parkland. Land the private owner acquired is still zoned OS-1XL, an open-space designation intended for publicly owned property. Councilmember Traci Park's motion directs the Planning Department, in consultation with the City Attorney, to prepare a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Ordinance to correct this mismatch. The proposed changes would reclassify the State Park's newly acquired land as Open Space in the General Plan with an OS-1XL zoning designation, effectively protecting it from residential development. The private parcel's newly acquired land would be reclassified as Minimum Residential in the General Plan with a corresponding RE-40-1 zoning designation, aligning its legal status with its actual residential use. The motion also directs the Planning Department to waive any fees for both Will Rogers State Historical Park and the private property owner at 14217 West Sunset Boulevard. The motion was introduced by Councilmember Traci Park on June 16, 2026, seconded by Bob Blumenfield, and referred the same day to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee. The committee scheduled and then approved the item at its June 23 meeting, clearing the first legislative hurdle. The file now awaits scheduling for a full City Council vote. It remains open with an expiration date of June 23, 2028.
