Redistricting Commission to Discuss Potential Changes to Draft Map

The Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission is scheduled to meet Wednesday to vote on potential adjustments to the Commission’s Draft map of City Council Districts, according to Hollywood Unbound.

Among the changes being considered, according to Hollywood UnBound:

• No. 10: Place the area of Los Feliz bounded by Western Avenue, Franklin Avenue, Normandie
  Avenue, and Los Feliz Boulevard (with the exception of the businesses on the north side of Hollywood Boulevard that are part of Thai Town) in Council District 4. This adjustment would mirror the current City Council District boundary line in this area.
• No. 11: Place the Hollywood Business District, as identified by the CRA/LA Hollywood project area (.pdf) boundaries, completely within Council District 13.
• No. 12: Move the Southeast portion of Silver Lake north of Sunset Boulevard back to Council District 13.
• No. 27: Unite Hollywood in Council District 4. At a minimum, move the boundary between Council District 13 and Council District 4 (which the draft map proposes be at Hollywood Boulevard) north to Franklin Avenue.
• No. 41: Unite the communities of Little Armenia and Los Feliz in one City Council District.
• No. 60: Revisit the creation of a 6th majority population Council District in the San Fernando
  Valley as the current configuration of 2 overlapping Valley/LA Basin Council Districts better
  protects and maintains communities of interest on both sides of the Santa Monica mountains.
• No. 75: Unite Hollywood in Council District 4.

The commission is set to meet and vote on the final map on Wednesday, Feb. 22.
