The Reseda Theatre, built in 1948, sits in the heart of tlie lteseda Co~~erc1al District, located at
18447 Sherman Way. It has been in disrepair since the 1994 Northridge earthquake and was purchased
by the former Redevelopment Agency (CRA/LA), along with the nearby vacant property at 721 7-7227
Canby Avenue. The properties were purchased in 2004 and 2005, and transferred to the City in 2014 after
the dissolution of the redevelopment agencies. In 20 I 6, the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiation
Agreement with Thomas Safran and Associates (TSA) to restore the Reseda Theatre into a multi-screen
movie theater and build senior housing. The Canby Avenue property was developed by TSA into Reseda
Theatre Senior Housing and was completed in 2023. TSA partnered with Laemmle Theaters on the
redevelopment of the theater, but due to changes in the movie theater industry, Laemmle was unable to
be a partner on the theater redevelopment. The theater has since been re-envisi9ned as a public market
and theater (Project), utilizing locally owned food vendors and reflecting the cultures of the Reseda
neighborhood.
In December 2023, Reseda Theatre Senior Housing L.P. entered into an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement with Reseda Theatre and Public Market, LLC (Developer) to assign the
Disposition and Development Agreement (DOA) to acquire the Theater site from the City and
construct the new concept Project. The City approved the assignment to the Developer in DDA
Amendment 6 (Contract No. C-131475). The DDA expires on December 31, 2025 .
The Project has made substantial predevelopment progress. The scope of the Project includes two
micro movie screens with 100 seats and a concession area on the second floor and a food hall with 6
tenants and a seating area with a craft beer garden with 92 seats on the first floor. Construction drawings
are complete and have been submitted to the City. Permits are anticipated by November, 2025 and
construction is estimated to take 10 months. The total Project cost is estimated at $13,379,463. Projected
funding sources, pending appropriate approvals, include: Excess Bond Proceeds allocation ($1,128,014),
Construction Loan ($3,875 ,000), New Market Tax Credits ($2,550,000 net), Section 108 Loan
($2,100,000), EWDD CDBG Gap Financing ($475,000), Developer Equity ($500,000), and Deferred
Developer Fee ($151,449). The remaining financial gap is $2,600,000.
The Reseda Theatre Project will restore and reactivate a long-vacant and derelict historic
landmark, transforming it into a vibrant cultural and community hub. The Project will generate
economic development by creating a variety of jobs, supporting small businesses with the food hall,
and attracting visitors to Reseda's commercial core. It will serve as a catalyst for neighborhood
revitalization and increased investment in and around the area.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Economic and Workforce Development
Department (EWDD), with the assistance of the City Administrative Officer, Chief Legislative Analyst,
General Services Department (GSD), and any other applicable City department, to amend the ODA to
extend the term of the DDA to December 31, 2026, update the project scope and schedule, and include
any additional technical amendments or actions necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing.
I FURTHER MOVE that $2,600,000 from the AB 1290 Fund No. 53P, Account No. 281203 (CD
3 Redevelopment Projects - Services) be transferred to the Economic Development Trust Fund 62L,
Department No. 22, Appropriation Account No. (TBD), consistent with Los Angeles Administrative
Code (LAAC) Chapter 172 Sec. 5.578 for the purpose of funding the Project at the time of financial
closing, completing construction and beginning operations by the end of calendar year 2026.

HOUSING & HOME~E.SSNESS
A person's home should be a place of safety and respite, but as Los Angeles continues to endure
relentless illegal enforcement by federal immigration agencies, many Angelenos are unable to
feel that basic sense of security; a knock at the door could lead to a warrantless arrest and an
interminable detention. In order to best prepare City residents, entities like immigrant rights
organizations, the Los Angeles Public Library, and schools have worked to disseminate
information and explain rights in the face of imm igration enforcement. Providing people with
these basic tools can alter outcomes, and posting the information in public places helps to
reinforce and rem ind p-eople when faced with a situation t hat crea.tes panic.
Even with efforts to ensure Angelenos know their constitutional rights, the visceral fear of the
Trump administration's illegal immigration raids has led to immigrant communities retreating
from public life. As the illegal raids st retch into almost their fourth month, the severe and lasting
local econom ic impact is compounding and touching al l communities and sectors. Beyond just
the devastating direct loss of wages for families and individuals who are unable to leave the
house, small businesses and working people of all identities are struggling financially with no
clear end in sight.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) report within 15 days
with the following:
• Recommendations to coordinate with immigrant rights and tenant rights organizations
to develop a standardized immigration know-your-rights information sheet and to
require landlords to post this information in common areas of all residential buildings;
• Recommendations to incorporate the standardized information sheet described above
into the forthcoming Tenant Anti-Harassment Ordinance (TAHO) bulletin, as well as an
anticipated timeline for the bulletin's completion
• Analysis of the feasibility of utilizing Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions
Agency (LACAHSA) dollars to fund rental support for those impacted by immigration
raids, including individuals being held in detention centers to prevent exits from
detention centers into homelessness.
I FURTHER REQUEST that the City Attorney immediately conduct intakes from tenants whose
landlords are threatening to report them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or any
~ ral immigration agency for criminal prosecution pursuant to LAMC § 45.36.
AUG 2 2 2015
1 FURTHER REQUEST that the City Attorney immediately conduct intakes from homelessness
service providers whose offers of rental as~istance have been refused by landlords in violation

WHEREAS, it is often cost prohibitive to relocate mobilehomes; and
WHEREAS, mobilehome owners whose homes are located in a mobilehome park must

MOTION
In 2021, the Wilshire Center Koreatown Neighborhood Council, Streets For All, and Walk
'n Rollers collo.t-0nh~ to organize and host the Ktown Block Party. This one-day pilot project
closed two blocks of 6th Street (between South Alexandria Avenue and South Catalina Avenue) to
provide a car-free, community gathering space with cultural and musical performances, pop-up
parklets, and safe street infrastructure demonstrations. The event, used to promote the Reimagine
6 th Street Initiative, was well-received; in a follow-up survey, 77.8% of respondents supported
permanently pedestrianizing a portion of 6ih Street to create a car-free plaza.
Koreatown is one of the densest communities yet one of the most park-poor per capita in
the City and County of Los Angeles. Pedestrianizing 6 th Street would support safe streets,
encourage people to walk, provide open space and parklets, and connect the various communities
in the area.
I THEREFORE MOVE that the Council instruct the Department of Transportation to
conduct a weekend pilot program to close &11 Street from Normandie Avenue to South Catalina
Street to car traffic; implement a community engagement campaign to solicit feedback from
residents and other affected stakeholders; undertake outreach to a diverse population with regard
to age, ethnicity, and gender; and provide a report that includes the- survey results and
recommendations for pennanently closing this street segment to vehicular traffic.

MOTION
In September 2009, the City Council adopted an ordinance establishing a Special Event
Pem1it Procedure (Ordinance No. 180881) including a process to grant limited subsidy requests .
The Ordinance provides the framework to effectively ensure that City fees and charges,
including salary costs, for special events are accurately determined and recovered. The
Ordinance also provides for a mechanism to ensure that limited City funds and resources are
available to support special events serving a public purpose.
The Ordinance also requires the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA) to prepare and submit an
annual Citywide List of Special Events for Council's review and approval. A citywide special
event is an event of interest to a significant number of City residents from three or more Council
Districts. The fee subsidy allows an event sponsor to request a reimbursement of up to 50% of
the city costs associated with the event. Event sponsors must show proof of nonprofit or
charitable status (IRS Determination Letter) and have an annual operating budget of less than $5
million. Subsidies may be provided only for non-commercial special events that promote a
public purpose and public benefit. Requests for special event fee subsidies are referred to the
CLA for review and recommendation. The Bureau of Street Services administers an on-line
permit application center to coordinate the permitting process.
The attached revised List of Citywide Special Events has been prepared by the CLA with
the assistance and cooperation of Council District offices. Sufficient funds have been made
available in the Citywide Special Event account, administered by the City Clerk, in support of
subsidy requests.
I THEREFORE MOVE that Council adopt the List of Citywide Special Events, attached to the
file prepared by the Office of Chief Legislative Analyst, in conformance with the City's Special
Event Permit Procedure (Ordinance No. 180881)

Requests for reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities, consistent with the
Americans with Disabilities Act can be made by contacting the City Clerk's Office at (213) 978-1133. For
Telecommunication Relay Services for the hearing impaired, please see the information below.
Telecommunication Relay Services
Telephone communication is one of the most important forms of communication in society today. Due to
advancements in technology, telephone devices have evolved with new services and capabilities. Individuals who are
deaf and hard of hearing, and individuals with a speech disability are following these trends and are rapidly migrating
to more advanced telecommunications methods, both for peer-to-peer and third-party telecommunications relay
service (TRS) communications. Telecommunications Relay Service is a telephone service that allows persons with
hearing or speech disabilities to place and receive telephone calls. TRS is available in all 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories for local and/or long distance calls. TRS providers - generally telephone
companies - are compensated for the costs of providing TRS from either a state or a federal fund. There is no cost to
the TRS user.
What forms of TRS are available? There are several forms of TRS, depending on the particular needs of the user and
the equipment available: TRS includes: Text to Voice TIY-Based TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service; Shared Non-
English Language Relay Service; Captioned Telephone Relay Service; Internet Protocol Relay Service; and Video
Relay Service. Please visit this site for detail descriptions, https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-

BASIC CITY COUNCIL MEETING RULES
AGENDAS - The City Council meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 A.M. The agendas for City Council
meetings contain a brief general description of those items to be considered at the meetings. Council Agendas are
available in the Office of the City Clerk, Council and Public Services Division, Room 395, City Hall, 200 North Spring
Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, and on the City's website at lacity.gov or lacouncilcalendar.com.
Ten (10) members of the Council constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Council may consider an
item not listed on the agenda only if it is determined by a two-thirds (10) vote that the need for action arose after the
posting of an Agenda. Some items on the agenda may be approved without any discussion, however, any item may
be called "special" by a Councilmember. If an item is called "special" it will be "held" until the remainder of the items on
the Council agenda have been acted on by the Council. An item may also be called "special" if a member of the public
has requested to speak on the item and a public hearing was not previously held.
The City Clerk will announce the items to be considered by the Council, however items will be grouped. For example,
all items for which required public hearings have not previously been held are listed in one section on the printed
agenda. The Council President will ask if any Councilmember or member or the public wishes to speak on one or
more of these items. If anyone wishes to speak on an item, it will be called "special". The remaining items in this
section will be voted on by Council with one roll call vote.
PUBLIC INPUT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS - An opportunity for the public to address the Council on agenda
items for which public hearings have not been held will be provided at the time the item is considered or during the
Multiple Agenda Item Comment period. Members of the public who wish to speak on items shall be allowed to speak
for up to one minute per item up to a total of three minutes per meeting. The Council has determined that a cumulative
total of 20 minutes is a reasonable minimum amount of time for the Multiple Agenda Item segment of each regular
meeting.
The Council will also provide an opportunity for the public to speak on public interest items. Each speaker shall be
limited to one minute of general public comment each regular meeting for a cumulative total of ten (10) minutes. The
Council shall not discuss or take action relative to any general public comment.
If you wish to provide documents to the full Council for consideration on an item, please present the Sergeant-At-Arms
with 35 copies. Otherwise, your materials will simply be added to the official record.
NOTICE TO PAID REPRESENTATIVES - If you are compensated to monitor, attend, or speak at this meeting, City
law may require you to register as a lobbyist and report your activity. See Los Angeles Municipal Code 48.01 et seq.
More information is available at ethics.lacity.org/lobbying. For assistance, please contact the Ethics Commission at
(213) 978-1960 or ethics.commission@lacity.org.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION AND TIME LIMITS - Councilmembers requesting to address the Council will be recognized
by the Council President in the order requested. For any item, the Chairperson of the Committee, or the maker of the
original motion, or the member calling a matter "special" shall have up to six (6) minutes to discuss the item. All other
Councilmembers may speak up to three (3) minutes each on the matter. After all members desiring to speak on a
question have had an opportunity to be heard once, the time for each Member desiring to speak again shall be limited
to a maximum of three (3) minutes.
A motion calling the "previous question" may be introduced by any member during a Council debate. If adopted, this
motion will terminate debate on a matter and the Chair will instruct the Clerk to call the roll on the matter.
Friday - August 22, 2025 - PAGE 3
VOTING AND DISPOSITION OF ITEMS - Most items require a majority vote of the entire membership of the Council
(8 members). Items which have not been discussed in a Council Committee and have been placed directly on the
agenda will require 10 votes to consider. Once considered, these items will normally require eight (8) affirmative votes
to be adopted. Ordinances require a unanimous vote (at least 12 members must be present) in order to be adopted on
first consideration. If an ordinance does not receive the necessary unanimous vote, it is laid over one calendar week.
The votes required for approval on second consideration vary and depend upon the type of ordinance, but a typical
ordinance requires eight (8) affirmative votes upon second consideration.
When debate on an item is completed, the Chair will instruct the Clerk to "call the roll". Every member present must
vote for or against each item; abstentions are not permitted. The Clerk will announce the votes on each item. Any
member of Council may move to "reconsider" any vote on any item on the agenda, except to adjourn, suspend the
Rules, or where an intervening event has deprived the Council of jurisdiction, providing that said member originally
voted on the prevailing side of the item. The motion to "reconsider" shall only be in order once during the meeting, and
once during the next regular meeting. The member requesting reconsideration shall identify for all members present
the agenda number, Council file number and subject matter previously voted upon. A motion to reconsider is not
debatable and shall require an affirmative vote of eight (8) members of the Council.
When the Council has failed by sufficient votes to approve or reject an item, and has not lost jurisdiction over the
matter, or has not caused it to be continued beyond the next regular meeting, the item is continued to the next regular
meeting for the purpose of allowing the Council to again vote on the matter.
The City Council rules provide that all items adopted by the Council will not be presented to the Mayor, or other
designated officer by the City Clerk until the adjournment of the regular Council meeting following the date of the
Council action. A motion to send an item "forthwith" if adopted by ten (10) votes, suspends these rules and requires
the City Clerk to forward the matter to the Mayor, or other officer, without delay.
RULE 16 MOTIONS - Council Rule No. 16, in part, allows a member to send an item directly to the Council without it
having to go to a Council Committee first, by giving the City Clerk a motion (seconded by an additional member)
during a Council session to be placed on the next regular available Council agenda.
