AT CITY COUNCIL AGENDA 03/23/2021

CONSIDERATION OF and ACTIONS RELATED TO A NEGATIVE DECLARATION, and COMMUNICATION FROM THE LOS ANGELES CITY PLANNING COMMISSION (LACPC) relative to amending Section 12.03 and adding Section 11.5.15 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to add definitions of Private Detention Center and Community Detention Facility for Unaccompanied Minors to the Zoning Code, and to prohibit such uses in all zones Citywide.

Recommendations for Council action:

FIND, based on the whole of the administrative record, the Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project will have a significant effect on the environment; FIND, based on the whole of the administrative record, that the Project is not a “project” as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; FIND, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(b), after consideration of the whole of the administrative record, including the Negative Declaration, No. ENV-2020-5812-ND (“Negative Declaration”), and all comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect on the environment; FIND the Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City; and, ADOPT the Negative Declaration.

ADOPT the Findings of the LACPC as the Findings of Council.

REQUEST the City Attorney to prepare and present an Ordinance amending Section 12.03 and adding Section 11.5.15 to Chapter I of the LAMC, to add two new definitions currently not enumerated in the Zoning Code for Private Detention Center and Community Detention Facility for Unaccompanied Minors, prohibit these uses in all zones Citywide, including any accessory uses or incidental activity to an allowed use; and, such provisions would not allow any variance, exception, or deviation from the prohibition through any process or interpretation.
