CD 4 GENERAL EXEMPTION, TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT and RESOLUTION relative to the renewal of Temporary Preferential Parking District (PPD) No. 33 on three blocks for Floyd Terrace and De Witt Drive near Universal City.

1. FIND that the renewal of Temporary PPD No. 33, pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 80.58.d, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requirements under the General Exemption (Article II, Section 1 of the 2002 Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines).

2. FIND that the parking problem that led to the establishment of Temporary PPD No. 33 on three blocks for Floyd Terrace and De Witt Drive near Universal City still exists and that no permanent solution has been found.

4. DIRECT the Department of Transportation (LADOT) to prepare a Notice of Exemption reflecting Council’s actions under Recommendation No. 1 above and file such notice with the City and County Clerks within five working days of the City Council’s action.
