Santa Monica Moves Toward 30-Year Billboard Deal on Historic Promenade Building

SANTA MONICA - A long-vacant landmark on the Third Street Promenade could make money from advertising even without a full house of tenants. Santa Monica has advanced a digital billboard deal promising the city an initial minimum of $500,000 a year - and requiring two street trees to make way for a clearer view of the ads. The proposed 1,000-square-foot screen would wrap the historic Junipher Building at Santa Monica Boulevard. Clearing its sightline would require tree removals the city's Urban Forest Commission recommended denying.The council voted 5-1 on Oct. 27 to introduce the agreement ordinance on first reading, with Councilmember Lana Negrete opposed and Councilmember Ellis Raskin recused, according to the Santa Monica Daily Press ."Economic recovery and historic preservation shouldn't have to compete with each other," Negrete said, the Daily Press reported.The billboard proposed at 1355 Third Street Promenade , at Santa Monica Boulevard, would measure roughly 55 feet wide and 18 feet tall. If ultimately approved, it would become the eighth authorized display in the downtown digital display district.Its visibility depends in part on what happens across the intersection.Two Chinese flame trees on the north side of Santa Monica Boulevard, west of the Promenade, would obstruct the

Santa Monica Wins Dismissal of Decade-Old Voting Rights Lawsuit

SANTA MONICA - A judge has ruled in Santa Monica's favor in a decade-long fight over neighborhood council districts, leaving citywide elections in place, the Santa Monica Daily Press reported Nov. 7 . Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daniel M. Crowley granted the city's motion for judgment on the pleadings and directed its attorneys to prepare a formal written dismissal order, according to the newspaper. The ruling is a victory for the city and a setback for the Pico Neighborhood Association and resident Maria Loya, who alleged citywide elections unlawfully weakened Latino voters' ability to elect their preferred candidates. The lawsuit sought to change how residents choose the seven-member council. Voters across Santa Monica currently elect council members through staggered, at-large elections. Under the district system sought by the plaintiffs, voters within each geographic district would elect one council member. The lawsuit, filed in April 2016 , alleged citywide elections unlawfully weakened Latino voters' electoral power. According to the California Supreme Court's account of the case, Latino residents represented about 14% of Santa Monica's citizen voting-age population and 30% of the Pico neighborhood's. The plaintiffs initially won. Following a six-week trial, the trial court ruled in their favor and
