Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez said he will only support a plan that promotes equity for working people and increases affordable housing — and he wants East Hollywood included.
LOS ANGELES — Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez said Friday he will only support a Hollywood Community Plan that is further amended to ensure it promotes equity for working people and increases affordable housing.
“The uneven growth and increasing inequality across Hollywood in the 35 years since the last Hollywood Community Plan update has shown the desperate need for more equitable density,” Soto-Martínez said. “We have the opportunity here to set the roadmap for a more inclusive, sustainable Hollywood with the affordable housing that we need.”
— Affordable tenant protections, including relocation assistance for renters forced out of their homes and a provision requiring no net loss of affordable housing units for new developments— Additional affordability requirements in some areas to promote equity and consistency across the plan’s area Soto-Martínez said he also wants to ensure there will be an opportunity to make changes to the plan after its adoption. He wants to incorporate East Hollywood into the plan, which is currently not included.
