Council OKs Fire Station at Site of Nightclub
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The City Council voted 11 to 0 Tuesday to build a fire station on the site of the Florentine Gardens nightclub in Hollywood.
The historic club’s exterior would be incorporated into a training facility at the new Fire Station 82, but the club’s owner, Kenneth MacKenzie, does not want to sell.
The city’s next move will be to make a formal offer for the property. If MacKenzie rejects it, the city can try to acquire the land through eminent domain proceedings.
