What this means

The committee approved agreements that keep several community gardens and nonprofit uses on city-owned land, assign additional city workspace to the Los Angeles Housing Department, and authorize leases such as banking services at the LAPD training center and a Philharmonic use of a Metrolink parking lot. The city’s leasing program status report was advanced for committee consideration. A study about commercial cannabis fees was not decided and was continued, so no changes to cannabis fees are effective now.
