LA Conservancy v. City of LA CA2
Fix The City, Inc. (FTC) and Los Angeles Conservancy (LAC) petitioned the superior court for a writ of mandate to set aside the approval by the City of Los Angeles (the City) of a real estate development known generally as the 8150 Sunset Boulevard Mixed Use Project (Project) in order to prevent the destruction of a bank building (the Lytton Building) that the parties stipulate has historical significance—acknowledging that the November 2014 Environmental Impact Report found that the destruction of the Lytton Building “would constitute a significant environmental impact under CEQA.” The trial court granted the petition in part, allowing the Project to proceed but barring the proposed destruction of the Lytton Building. The trial court denied the balance of the petition.
