L.A. can push forward with its plans to open a homeless shelter in Venice after a Superior Court judge rejected a legal challenge to the project.
over the plan, arguing that the city and other government agencies had failed to properly review how “this large and extraordinary project” would affect the neighborhood.
City leaders countered that the project would alleviate neighborhood nuisances tied to homelessness, not exacerbate them. Bonin argued there was a “moral imperative” to set up the shelter where there was the greatest need on the streets. The Venice Stakeholders Assn. argued that the new law could not be applied retroactively to the shelter project, nor could the city make it subject to that law after the fact, through a later resolution stating that the Venice shelter was exempt under AB 1197. The group also asserted that AB 1197 was invalid because it improperly singled out Los Angeles.
“It is simply unfair for the state to say that everyone in the state — except for the residents of Los Angeles — has certain rights under CEQA to question the environmental impacts of a project and ask that they be mitigated,” Ryavec said, complaining that the city had gotten the state to “move the goalpost” after its lawsuit was filed.
