Los Angeles City Atty. James Hahn will rule today that the head of the city Planning Commission has a conflict of interest that prevents the commission from taking a stand on banning drilling by the Occidental Petroleum Corp. in the Pacific Palisades, an aide to City Councilman Marvin Braude said. Hahn has conveyed his intention to Braude, who is leading the fight in the council to prevent the drilling, according to Cindy Miscikowski, Braude’s chief deputy. The ruling by Hahn is expected to make it much harder for Braude to win passage of a repeal ordinance.
