Lot 12/13 high-rise development opposition
Summary
Five of the nine public speakers opposed the proposed multi-tower, 200-plus-unit development on Lot 12/13 near Santa Monica Boulevard, calling it an eyesore and safety hazard. Speakers urged the council to challenge the developer's AB 2011 ministerial-review qualification, but the mayor explained the process is ministerial and the council has a limited role.

Impact analysis
The project itself is private development, but residents fear traffic, infrastructure strain and litigation costs for the city.
Opposing residents want a clear council position; the developer would benefit if the project proceeds.
Opponents say nearby residents face a 15-story tower a foot from Santa Monica Boulevard with traffic and safety risks.
