In its application to the court seeking a writ to halt or delay the Crossroads project, AHF is asserting:

Key Points: 
  • In its application to the court seeking a writ to halt or delay the Crossroads project, AHF is asserting:
    Violation(s) of California Environmental Quality Act, Community Redevelopment Law, Planning and Zoning Law and Los Angeles Municipal Code regarding the Crossroads development in Hollywood (related case # BS138580).
  • We believe that the city and the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles have shown deliberate indifference to the serious negative impacts and resulting gentrification that this enormous luxury project will have in Hollywood and along Sunset Boulevard.
  • Some negative impacts of Crossroads include:
    Dramatically increased traffic (A Caltrans report stated Crossroads will negatively affect traffic on and around the 101 Hollywood Freeway in Hollywood) and other burdens on city infrastructure, and
    Destruction of a longstanding affordable community with the demolition of at least 84 rent-controlled apartments in Hollywood on the site of the proposed Crossroads project.
