Yeah, thanks for that...the “Roscoe/Truesdale” lot is probably the main lot involved (owned by the county due to flood control “right of way”). But there is also a small “cleaver-shaped” section/lot along the flood channel right-of-way just West of the main church building. May or may not be included in the revoked lease agreement. I didn’t dig deep on that part.
Easy fix, which our church pulled off: contract with nearby lots for Sunday parking, and run shuttle vans/buses. Easy-peasy. Many facilities (a) don't need their lots in Sunday mornings--we had a nearby wedding facility which really only needed its lot on Saturdays--and (b) are immune to County pressure. Added bonus, which needs proper management: fosters a sense of adventure and camaraderie.
Another: car-pooling to church! Call it "Where 2 or 3...".
P.S. I looked at the the county letter...there are 3 parcels/lots involved. The “Allott & Roscoe” lot too?). So it looks like they lose most of their parking if not reversed. Government sanctioned “spitefulness” is just crazy.
In all honesty- the neighborhood around Grace Church, like most of America, has gone down hill in recent years (my opinion). I think the neighbors would welcome a little extra cash in Sunday’s - and that’s less $$$ the church has to shell out - could help their finances as well - just an idea.
Declare the church a “sanctuary church for oppressed Christians”, start a hunger strike by adults inside it, and make the crooked communist sheriffs/police drag them out of it by their clerical garb or street clothes.
Remember to broadcast film this with the slogan, “LA County’s Stormtroopers, the Whole World is Watching”.
Time for some legal protests outside the homes of the LA County officials and “Good Germans” who attempt this fascist/Marxist maneuver of retaliatory eviction.
Time for Pres. Trump to step in and may something very pointed, and take legal action if he can regarding a blatant violation of the Constitution/Bill of Rights.
I think it’s the parking lot area around the church.
This is why anyone who even votes democrat is and must be your enemy, folks.

It does sound confusing. My understanding from what I heard is that the church leases parking space. It is this that is being recinded.
Or buy a bus, Monthly cost would be cheaper than the parking lot was.
