Requests for Extension DENIED

Despite our best efforts...requests by the Hollywood Dell Civic Association, many other community groups, numerous individual Hollywood residents, and Neighborhood Councils, for an extension of the public comment period, in light of the 'unusual circumstances' related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been DENIED.

Thank you to all who took the time to submit letters asking for the extension.

The Planning Department is the agency in charge of the process and responded to each request with a version of this statement:

"The City has received your request, together with other requests, for an extension of the Hollywood Center Project Draft EIR comment period in light of COVID019.

Per CEQA Guidelines, Section 15105, the public review period for a Draft EIR should not be less than 30 days nor should it be longer than 60 days, except under unusual circumstances.

While we agree that these are unprecedented times, as indicated in the Notice of Completion and Availability (NOA) for the Hollywood Center Project Draft EIR, the Draft EIR, the documents referenced in the Draft EIR, and the whole of the case file, are available for public view on our website..."

If a global pandemic isn't "Unusual Circumstances" one wonders what is...
