What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Los Angeles voters approved eight city measures, including Measure PL, which retired the city's seven Area Planning Commissions. The city charter mandates waterfront access spending for the PORT. The new structure replaces the retired commissions with a single citywide Neighborhood Appeals Commission of at least seven members.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The changes affect how local appeals regarding harbor-area issues are heard. Currently, the Harbor Area Planning Commission is composed of five local residents. The new charter leaves the geographic representation for the appeals commission to a future ordinance.
