Hollywood Heritage's letter regarding the Planning Department Assuming CRA responsibilities -
Hollywood Heritage took legal action regarding the lack of a design review component of the CRA plan for Hollywood as promised in the original contract. As a result of that legal action, Hollywood Heritage had been working with the CRA representatives in an advisory capacity in regards to the application and granting of demolition permits.
Since that action, the CRA has been closed, however its responsibilities are to be transferred to the Los Angeles Department of City Planning. Due to the public comment aspects of the plan, Hollywood Heritage submitted the following letter regarding our concerns about the changeover in responsibilities.
