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

The Department of City Planning has filed a modification appeal for a development project at 6007 West Sunset Boulevard and adjacent parcels. The case involves a modification to an existing entitlement (CPC-2021-1557) and is currently pending review by the Planning and Land Use Management Committee. A committee hearing is scheduled for October 13, 2026.

Full summary

This file concerns an appeal of a modification to a previously approved development entitlement at 6007 West Sunset Boulevard, spanning adjacent parcels on North Gordon Street and North La Baig Avenue in Council District 13. The applicant is 6007 Sunset (LA) OZ, LLC, represented by Chris Manasserian of Gonzales Law Group. The appellant challenging the modification is Emerson College (Los Angeles), represented by Paola M. Ferrer. The appeal was filed on August 10, 2026, the same as the last day to appeal, and the City has 75 days from that date to act. The underlying entitlement traces back to Case CPC-2021-1557-DB-SPR-HCA, which authorized a density bonus project with site plan review and a housing covenant agreement. The current action, designated CPC-2021-1557-DB-SPR-HCA-M1-1A, is a first appeal of the first modification to that original approval. The project has been found categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA, with a Notice of Exemption filed as ENV-2026-2496-CE. Revised architectural plans have been submitted as part of the modification package. The Department of City Planning transmitted the file to the City Clerk on August 20, 2026, and it was referred to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee five days later. The committee scheduled the item for a hearing on October 13, 2026, which is the key near-term milestone. The file remains open with a two-year expiration window running to September 2028. The Council will ultimately need to resolve the appeal by upholding or overturning the planning department's determination on the modification.
