“I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council request the Department of Recreation and Park and Los Angeles Police Department, in collaboration with the Office of the City Attorney and the California Coastal Commission’s staff, to commence a review of the City’s current ordinance and make recommendations for a revised, clarified ordinance that maintains significant and sufficient coastal access, but also preserves the City’s right to enforce park closures in any areas with a demonstrated safety need.”

Our Demands• Issue a Cease and Desist Order• Agendize a public hearing on the

City’s unlawful development• Order the City of L.A. to apply for

a Coastal Development Permit

Prepared and Presented by the Southern California Homeless Bill of Rights Coalition

We are dedicated to overturning the City of LA’s illegal curfew in and near Venice Beach and other laws and practices that limit our access to the coast and all public space.
