City officials have officially revoked the approval for the highly-controversial Bulgari Resort Los Angeles.
Gatto told the Times that the decision to halt the project "sends a message to all looking to invest in Los Angeles that the city can't be trusted to follow its own rules."
The motion directed the city planning director to reconsider the initiation of a General Plan amendment -- which the Planning Department and Planning Commission previously approved -- that gave a specific zoning designation for the proposed Bulgari Hotel to be built in a residential area. On Wednesday, Bertoni wrote a letter to Safady, stating the proposed hotel "would be inappropriate" for the project site, which has "sensitive habitat areas and areas that may be home to protected or endangered species."
The proposed hotel -- which would have been located at 9704-9712 W. Oak Road -- was in the environmental review process. As part of Safady's plans for the hotel, he proposed dozens of bungalows, a restaurant, spa and eight homes on the property ranging from 12,000 to 48,000 square feet each.
