Entrada Update – Neighborhood groups say Culver City violated CEQA

Thanks to an group of outgoing city council members, the City of Culver City is being sued.

The local Argonaut Newspaper reports that “a public interest group comprised of residents from several Westside communities has filed a lawsuit against Culver City, alleging that it violated the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) when it approved the construction of a 176-foot-high building near the Westchester-Culver City border in April.”

“The Entrada Tower project is a 12-story, 342,409-square-foot edifice that was green-lighted by the outgoing Culver City Council on April 16th. Centinela Development Partners, the developer, is seeking to build the tower project adjacent to the Radisson Hotel in Culver City.

“Gina Koshak, a Westchester Bluffs homeowner and a member of United Neighbors of the Westside, the group that filed the lawsuit, took issue with the project’s height and what she believes are violations of the California Environmental Quality Act.”

“Residents of of Culver City and neighboring Los Angeles communities took exception to the fact that the development was approved a week before three of the Culver City Council members — Carol Gross, Steven Rose and Alan Corlin — were slated to leave office due to term limits.”
