Regarding the LAMC 41.18 “no camping” signs
Posted on 06/07/2023
Regarding the LAMC 41.18 “no camping” signs posted at the Venice / Tuller encampment, the MVCC PHS&H Committee leadership learned from discussions with various city representatives familiar with the matter that the City Administrative Office requested the signs be removed as the Special Enforcement Zone of 500 ft extended into Culver City which is beyond the city’s jurisdiction. As such, LAMC 41.18 could not be legally enforced. The city intends to repost the signs so that the Special Enforcement Zone is within city limits.
The MVCC PHS&H Committee leadership was further informed that the mayor’s office is well aware of the Venice/Tuller encampment and it is high on the list for proactive housing such as Inside Safe. There is one larger encampment that needs to be addressed before the Venice/Tuller encampment. Once housing solutions are available the implementation of LAMC 41.18 at will be re-evaluated accordingly.
