(Seman 9fi§~a/. ij an agreement (Agreement; Contract No. 66320) for the Seinan Senior Citizens Center Site Acquisition Project (Project), which consisted of Seinan acquiring real property located at 3116 West Jefferson Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90018 (Property), for the purpose of providing community social services to low- and moderate-income senior residents. According to the terms of the Agreement, the City provided Seinan with $95,000 in ·acquisition cosr assistance and required that the Property be held in tenancy-in-common as Seinan provided community social services to eligible residents for a period of IO years from the Property acquisition date. Upon Seinan complying with the continued provision of this service for the designated time frame, the City would convey·by quitclaim deed its interest in the Property, In 1997, Seinan complied with the continued use provision. In turn, the City issued a Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance Deed recorded on January 23, 1998 (Instrument No. 98-115508) but failed to record a quitclaim deed in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. To date, the City has not complied with this requirement and is in breech of the Agreement. Council action is needed to authorize the General Se1Vices Department to issue Seinan a quitclaim deed to properly convey its interest in the property. Furthermore, the quitclaim process necessitates action from Council to declare the property exempt under the Surplus Land Act (SLA) and approval of an ordinance authorizing the transfer of the City's co-tenancy interest to Seinan. I TIIEREFORE MOVE that the City Council declare that City-owned property located 3116 West Jefferson Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90018 (Property), A.P.N. 5044-008-004, also known as lots 4, 5, and 6 consisting of approximately 19,212 square f~t of the underlying property on the comer of 11 th Avenue and Jefferson Boulevard as "Exempt Surplus Land" pursuant to the California Surplus Land Act. The p~operty is being sold and qualifies as exempt surplus land under Gov. Code§, 54221 (f)(l)(B), which exempts, "[sjurplus land that is less than one-half acre in area and is not contiguous to land owned by a state or local agency that is used for open-space or low- and moderate-income housing purposes. 11 Notwithstanding§ 54221 (/)(2), under Gov. Code §, 54221 (/)(2), the Property cannot qualify as exempt surplus land if it is: A. Within a coastal zone. B. Adjacent to a historical unit of the State Parks System. C. Listed on, or determined by the State Office of Historic Preservation to be eligible for, the National Register ofHistoric Places. D. Within the Lake Tahoe region as defined in Section 66905.5. Because none of these characteristics apply to this Property, it qualifies as exempt surplus land under the Surplus Land Act. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council authorize the General Services Department (GSD) to issue Seinan Senior Citizens Club, Inc. (Seinan), a quitclaim deed to convey the City's fee interest in the Property and authorize GSD to prepare and submit' the necessary ordinance for Council approval to transfer the City's co-tenancy interest to Seinan.

Gaffey Street in San Pedro, Los Angeles, has operated for over 50 years as a propane and butane storage facility, holding product for nearby refineries and the broader community, with rail, truck; and pipeline connectivity. The Rancho LPG facility poses significant risks due to the storage of large quantities of highly flammable propane and butane, which could result in dangerous incidents such as fires, explosions, and environmental hazards in the event of an accident. Since its acquisition by Rancho LPG Holdings LLC in 2008, the facility has operated under the oversight of over ten local, state, and federal regulatory agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), among others. Despite these regulatory efforts, the facility presents potential hazards to the surrounding community. The extent to which the Rancho LPG site has been addressed in our City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), which aims to identify and mitigate risks that threaten public safety and environmental well-being, has not been clear. The Rancho LPG facility's operational risks, particularly in light of changes in the surrounding neighborhood, underscore the need for a comprehensive hazard mitigation strategy that better integrates the facility's potential impacts into city-wide and regional planning processes. Effective regional coordination among emergency management departments, local fire departments, and other agencies is crucial to mitigate the risks associated with the Rancho LPG facility and to ensure a coordinated response in the event of an emergency. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the Emergency Management Department (EMD) and Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), in coordination with the Depaitment of City Planning (DCP) and Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), to report on whether the Rancho LPG facility has been, or will be, assessed and incorporated as a high-priority risk in the City's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP), with a focus on hazards such as explosions, toxic releases, and the facility's proximity to residential, recreational, and commercial areas. The report should include the current processes for assessing facilities like Rancho LPG, identifying gaps in the risk evaluation, and suggesting improvements to better integrate potentially hazardous sites into the LHMP. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the EMD and CLA, in coordination with the DCP and LAFD, to report on how to enhance regional coordination between the City of Los Angeles, neighboring municipalities, fire departments, and emergency management agencies, to ensure a unified response strategy and communication regarding hazardous sites, including Rancho LPG. This should address risk reduction, emergency preparedness, and th safety measures in place at the facility to protect the surr(ndjn_g com_ _~ mity. 0 PRESENTED BY: T l 7Y1 ' IV' McOSKER Counci e ber, 15th District C) SECONDED BY:  ITEMS 1 - 5, 8, 9 MOTION I HEREBY MOVE that Council ADOPT the recommendations of the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety for the Liens as noted below: Agenda Council file Address Council Council Action Item No. No. District 1 24-0160-S110 16822 West Clark Street 4 Continue to April 1, 2025 2 24-0160-S111 17854 West Bessemer Street 4 Continue to April 1, 2025 3 24-0160-S120 1920 North Holly Drive 4 Continue to April 1, 2025 4 24-0160-S124 9100 North Sandusky Avenue 6 Receive and File Lien 5 24-0160-S128 12852 West Sunburst Street 7 Continue to April 1, 2025 8 24-0160-S113 1730 East 114th Street 15 Receive and File Lien 9 24-0160-S119 376 South Miraleste Drive, Unit 415 15 Continue to May 6, 2025 PRESENTED BY ___________________________ BOB BLUMENFIELD Councilmember, 3rd District SECONDED BY ___________________________ YSABEL JURADO Councilmember, 14th District March 7, 2025  ITEM 7 MOTION I HEREBY MOVE that Council AMEND the matter of the CONTINUED CONSIDERATION OF HEARING PROTEST, APPEALS OR OBJECTIONS to the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety report and confirmation of lien for nuisance abatement costs and/or non-compliance of code violations/Annual Inspection costs, pursuant to the Los Angeles Municipal Code and/or Los Angeles Administrative Code, for the property located at 17815 West Chatsworth Street; Item 7 on today’s Council Agenda (Council file No. 24-0160-S137); to WAIVE the late fees and interest, and CONFIRM the remaining lien balance.
