BACKGROUND
In June 2005, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing submittal of an application to
LAFCO requesting an SOIA and adopting a Negative Declaration. The Negative Declaration
was challenged by Las Lomas LLC, a developer who envisioned annexing a large scale
development on 845 acres to the City of Los Angeles. A large portion of the Las Lomas proposal
was within the City's SOIA boundary. The City's SOIA application for this site was originally
submitted to LAFCO in June 2005. LAFCO has placed the application -on hold pending receipt
of a certified Final EIR.
In order to allow additional time for further review and consideration, a 60 -day continuance is
recommended to the meeting of May 25, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this continuance.
