Commission jurisdiction over federal actions affecting landmarks
Long Beach
Summary
The commission had asked whether it could recommend council action to use historic-landmark powers against federal overreach. Staff and the City Attorney's Office concluded the commission's jurisdiction under municipal code Chapter 2.63 doesn't allow it, and legal precedent bars local rules that discriminate against the federal government.
