\"Ferrari<\/img><\/p>\n

His pristine Ferrari 512 BBi "Boxer" sits in the middle of Holger Schubert’s living room in Brentwood, right next to stylish furniture, a built-in bookcase and a flat-screen TV that slides on tracks past walls of glass that frame an ocean view.<\/p>\n

But Los Angeles officials are about to slam shut\u00a0forever the garage door that leads to the city’s most extravagant parking space<\/a><\/p>\n

City planners have withdrawn permission for Schubert to use a bridge to connect his Ferrari’s third-floor resting spot with North Tigertail Road.<\/p>\n

The ruling by the West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission tosses a mechanic’s wrench into Schubert’s hopes of using the showpiece garage that last year won Architectural Digest magazine’s Design Driven contest.<\/p>\n

Neighbors complained about the bridge<\/a>, alleging that the city erroneously approved its construction to create both a safety hazard and a development precedent that could degrade hillside neighborhoods throughout the city.<\/p>\n

Schubert, a 43-year-old product designer, contends that neighbors turned against the bridge in retaliation for his home remodeling project taking so long — about five years, so far. The ruling sets the stage for the city to issue an enforcement order that will force Schubert to tear down the 10-foot-long, 15-foot-high bridge if he does not obtain a zoning variance for it or win a court reprieve that preserves it. <\/p>\n
