While the NFL has not formally committed to returning to Los Angeles, the Planning Commission set up a subcommittee to look exclusively at the ambitious downtown project, which envisions a 70,000-seat stadium and new convention center hall.

Commissioner Sean Burton, who will oversee the internal four-member group, said the sheer size and complexity of the project requires the city to give it special attention. The commission will be tasked with looking at how the various stages and elements of the project will be approved.
