The owners had an unofficial outreach after residents within 100 feet received a notification of change of use request. Linda Lucks, president of Venice Neighborhood Council, reported to Planning that change of use of such had to be done for 500 feet and a hearing date could be no sooner than 30 days thereafter.

Kim’s Market, which suddenly appeared on the Venice building screen the last of April, has been cancelled for a May hearing by Planning.

Jim Murez, who is handling case for LUPC, said “As of 7th, the owners took documents to planning to request that 22 May hearing be cancelled. I suspect owners’ outreach will not be until late this month or early next month. If I am correct, they are going to schedule it after the VNC elections on the 18th but I have not heard anything to that effect yet.”
