i went through the audio of the January - Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council General Board Meeting (GBM). Or should i say that i got through it at the membrane of my sanity. I almost forgot how intense that meeting got. I've highlighted the major "plot points" of the discussion on topic. If you are going to listen to the audio, i would say start about the 01:20:00 mark and make sue you have a comfortable headset. My ears are bleeding.
Essentially, the Chavez & Soto project did pass the board in support. The mariachi Plaza project was denied. The major one of content being asked about right now, 1st and Soto. Was passed from the PLUC to the GB (General Board) and resulted in a 6-month Exclusive Development Agreement (EDA). With a presentation to be made at the February 12th PLUC meeting.
I don't recall a specific date and tie given as the start of the 6-month, but let us assume that it was starting in February or even March. This would mean that it would end July or August and there would be a resulting presentation at the GBM.
[The Following was placed in the February 12th agenda:
V. Update regarding Metro Joint Development Process [5 Minutes]
a. Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council Approved to
i. Oppose authorization of ENA at Mariachi Plaza
ii. Approve a six month phased ENA for 1st/Soto and Cesar Chavez/Soto
