Brief

The Planning Commission has referred a conditional use permit (CU3) and related zoning approvals for five parcels associated with the Venice Auxiliary Pumping Plant (VAAP) project to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee.

The matter is currently pending committee action.

Full summary

This file addresses conditional use permits and zoning modifications for multiple parcels related to the Venice Auxiliary Pumping Plant project. The affected properties are located at 128, 133, and 139 East Hurricane Street, 3817 and 3813 South Esplanade, and 3913 South Esplanade West in Venice. The Planning Commission issued a referral on June 10, 2026, transmitting a June 4, 2026 document to the Planning and Land Use Management Committee for action. The case number CPC-2024-2010-GPA-ZC-CU3-SPPC indicates this involves a General Plan Amendment (GPA), zone change (ZC), and Class 3 conditional use permit (CU3), along with a Site Plan Preliminary Compliance (SPPC) determination. The environmental clearance for this project was issued under SCH No. 2015111038 and reflects analysis completed for the Venice Auxiliary Pumping Plant Environmental Impact Report. This suggests the project has undergone CEQA review prior to this conditional use and zoning referral. As of June 10, 2026, the file remains pending in the Planning and Land Use Management Committee with no further action recorded. The file will expire on June 9, 2028, unless extended. This early stage of committee review means substantial deliberation and potential amendments or conditions remain possible before any Council vote.
