West Hollywood : Parking Site Approved
The City Council approved the use of a vacant lot next to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center as a temporary parking lot for patients, visitors and employees.
The temporary-use permit, approved by the council in a 3-1 vote, will allow the hospital to use the parking lot at 365 N. San Vicente Blvd. for one year. If the hospital wants to extend the permit, it will have to seek a renewal from the council.
Several council members said they would like to see the lot used for housing, but they agreed to allow it to be used to ease the hospital’s parking shortage. Mayor Abbe Land opposed the temporary-use permit. Councilman Steve Schulte was absent from the meeting.
Council members instructed staff to conduct a traffic study to determine the parking lot’s effect on area residences.
