Ray Hotel Hearing Postponed Until Sept.19

As was rumored, the Ray Hotel people asked for - and got - a continuance for another hearing in front of the West LA Planning Commission. Thanks everyone who took time out of their busy day to come out and make your voices heard. It was an impressive showing.

The new hearing date is Sept. 19. No word yet on time and place.

It'll be interesting to see how the Ambrose Group uses the next six weeks. Will they use the time to work with the community to develop a new project that conforms to the Venice Specific Plan, provides enough parking, and will meet the needs of the neighborhood? Or will they use it to launch another PR offensive and hire more lobbyists to pressure Councilman Rosendahl (who has been steadfast in his support of the community on this issue) and City Planner Gail Goldberg?

Stay tuned.
