Hollywood Community Plan Moves to City Council 'Without Recommendation'

Councilmen Jose Huizar and Ed Reyes moved the issue after hearing city planners respond to a number of public concerns and discussing the plan in closed session.

Reyes seconded the motion. The third member of the panel, Councilman Mitchell Englander, was not present. He was serving on the city's budget and finance committee at the time.

The proposal has been under review of the committee since March 27. The first time, council members heard more than . The second time, the panel allotted  then closed the public hearing. No public comments were allowed at Tuesday's meeting. 

The proposed plan update would serve as a blueprint for future development in Hollywood. The current plan has not been updated since it was created in 1988.
