Cahuenga Pass Property Owners Association Representing The Cahuenga Representing the Cahuenga Pass Since 1952 Pass Property Owners Association June 6, 2016 President Krista Michaels Councilmember Jose Huizar, Chair Vice President Planning and Land Use Management Committee Judy Marlin Los Angeles City Council Secretary 200 N. Spring Street Timothy Thornton Los Angeles, CA 90012 Treasurer David Kegaries 0 RE:0 LAMC 12.24.W.43 and 12.24.W.44 Community Beautification 0 0 Second Dwelling Unit Ordinances Judy Marlin Valley View E.S. Liaison Dear Councilmember Huizar: Dan Bernstein The Board of Directors of the Cahuenga Pass Property Owners Association wants to Membership & Outreach Karen Riesenfeld express our concern about the City's possible repeal of the above-referenced municipal Franny Parrish codes, especially as they pertain to second dwelling units in hillside areas and on Development & Traffic substandard streets. Steven Goldfisher David Kegaries As a hillside community, many of our streets are less than standard width and the Florence Blecher prohibition on second dwelling units is an important statute. Because many of our Krista Michaels residences are old and without garages or off-street parking, homeowners often must Historic Preservation park on the street. Increasing density in a neighborhood such as this, with the Florence Blecher Sarah Hunt concomitant increase in demand for parking, would be a significant change. Theresa Larkin We do not understand the City's seeming rush to repeal these ordinances, especially Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Specific Plan Design Review when so much is at stake. We understand the pressing need for additional housing, Board but this is a city with great diversity in the topography of neighborhoods, and a single Timothy Thornton all-purpose policy in terms of land use seems not only shortsighted but out-of-date. Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council If these ordinances are repealed and the prohibitions on second dwelling units abolished, Rich Joludow HHWNC Area 2 Chair the state law default standards would allow 1,200 sq.ft. dwelling units on single-family residential lots. Many single-family homes are 1,200 sq.ft in size. Allowing such large Newsletter Azar Kattan secondary structures in R1 neighborhoods amounts to gutting the R1 zoning regulation. Krista Michaels Safety & Fire Dept. Liaison We urge you to delay any action by the PLUM Committee, and allow the communities Steven Kates in this city an opportunity to review the proposed changes and analyze the effects on NBCUniversal Citizens their individual neighborhoods, and then respond to the Council about any potential Advisory Committee negative impacts they expect to suffer.

GIVEN 2461 Santa Monica Blvd., #438 Santa Monica, CA 90404 [email protected] (310) 471-8485 June 6, 2016 Los Angeles City Council Planning and Land Use Management Committee Councilmember Jose Huizar, Chair Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson Councilmember Gilbert A. Cedillo Councilmember Mitchell Englander Councilmember Felipe Fuentes Los Angeles City Hall 200 North Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 VIA E-MAIL to Leg. Asst. [email protected] RE: CF 14-0057-S8 (CPC-2016-1245-CA) Oppose Proposed Repeal of LAMC §§ 12.24 W.43 and W.44 Honorable PLUM Committee Members: I am a resident of Council District 11, and I serve as an officer on the boards of both my local homeowners association, Brentwood Hills Homeowners Association, and the Federation of Hillside and Canyon Associations, Inc. (the “Hillside Federation”). Both organizations voted to oppose the City’s proposed repeal of its second dwelling unit ordinance without consideration of the potential negative impacts on hillside communities, including potentially significant environmental impacts. Both submitted letters to the City Planning Commission (“CPC”). Those letters, attached as Exhibits A and B, are incorporated by reference. Background. The project description in the Planning Department Transmittal for the above-captioned council file describes that the reason for the repeal of the City’s existing second dwelling unit ordinance is, in part, “for the purpose of complying with state law AB 1866 on Second Dwelling Units.” As the Hillside Federation and other letters and testimony to the Planning Commission make clear, this description and similar information found in the Planning Department’s report to the CPC is not accurate. When AB 1866 was passed in 2002, the legislature realized that many cities, including Los Angeles, had already enacted second dwelling unit ordinances. So long as the standards within those local ordinances were applied ministerially, the legislature did not require cities to take any additional legislative action. See Govt. Code § 65852.2(a)(3) (“When a local agency receives its first application on or after July 1, 2003, for a permit pursuant to this Planning and Land Use Management Committee June 6, 2016 Page 2 subdivision, the application shall be considered ministerially without discretionary review or a hearing. Nothing in this paragraph may be construed to require a local government to adopt or amend an ordinance for the creation of second units.”). The City’s stated reason for the repeal action is thus inaccurate, and highly misleading. Nor is the City’s proposed action necessary to comply with any court order, including any order related to the recent LA Superior Court case Los Angeles Neighbors in Action v. City of Los Angeles, et al. (LA Super. Ct., 2016, BS150599). In that case, the court invalidated ZA Memo 120 as the basis to approve second dwelling units and ordered the City to invalidate one particular second dwelling unit approval. Nothing in that action invalidated the City’s existing ordinance, nor required any particular action be taken to validate previously issued entitlements, many of which may very well be entirely valid under the City’s existing zoning code. The LA Neighbors case held that the legal advice that led to the promulgation of ZA Memo 120 was incorrect, but that the City’s ordinance was not necessarily illegal under state law so long as it is applied ministerially. Rather than proceed to determine whether the ordinance’s existing and reasonable protections can be applied ministerially, the City has instead proposed to scrap the ordinance altogether. The conclusory analysis provided by the City does not provide adequate information to members of the public to understand how this draconian action is justified. Moreover, there is no evidence that the numerous protections in the City’s ordinance, now proposed to be eliminated through a cursory process without consideration of the public policy implications or environmental impacts, have ever hampered the production of affordable housing in the City of Los Angeles in any meaningful way. Most important, the City claims that its action in repealing its second dwelling unit ordinance is exempt from environmental review. It is not. Repeal of the existing Second Dwelling Unit ordinance is not exempt from CEQA. Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 does not apply. The primary justification for exemption offered by the City is Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which states: “[t]his division does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of Section 65852.1 or Section 65852.2 of the Government Code.” Public Resources Code Section 65852.2 relates to California law on second dwelling units.1 “In keeping with general principles of statutory construction, exemptions are construed narrowly and will not be unreasonably expanded beyond their terms. [Citations.] Strict construction allows CEQA to be interpreted in a manner affording the fullest possible environmental protections within the reasonable scope of statutory language. [Citations.] It also comports with the statutory directive that exemptions may be provided only for projects which 1 Public Res. Code § 65852.1 relates to senior housing, and is inapplicable to the issues presented here. Planning and Land Use Management Committee June 6, 2016 Page 3 have been determined not to have a significant environmental effect. [Citations.]” Cal. Farm Bureau Fed’n. v. Cal. Wildfire Conservation Bd. (2006) 143 Cal.App. 4th 173 (quoting County of Amador v. El Dorado County Water Agency (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 931, 966.) “Statutory language is not considered in isolation. Rather, we instead interpret the statute as a whole, so as to make sense of the entire statutory scheme.” Bonnell v. Medical Bd. (2003) 31 Cal.4th 1255, 1261 (internal quotation marks omitted). If the City were proposing to adopt an ordinance to implement state law, the cited exemption would clearly apply. But the City is not proposing to adopt an ordinance implementing AB 1866. The action now proposed is to change existing City standards and allow development on virtually all residentially zoned parcels in the City by repealing an existing ordinance. In the absence of a local second dwelling unit ordinance, the City will be required to use the state default standards. By the plain language of Public Resources Code 21080.17, the City’s proposed action is not exempt from environmental review, because the action is not “the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of . Section 65852.2.” Pub. Res. Code § 21080.17 (emphasis added). The City’s extremely broad interpretation would dramatically expand the scope of the exemption, as if the legislature intended the exemption to apply to ordinances that related in any way to state law on second dwelling units. Had the legislature so intended, it could easily have drafted the statute more broadly. For example, knowing that many cities had existing second dwelling unit ordinances, the legislature could have included actions in its exemption that repeal local ordinances in order to allow cities to change to the state default standards.

    East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Si... Subject: East Los Angeles Should Not Be Lumped with the Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, and Los Feliz! From: Franziska WiƩenstein < Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2011 10:47:52 -0700 To: Commissioners, CiƟzens RedistricƟng Commission 901 P Street, Suite 154-A Sacramento, CA 95814 Commissioners: When you Commissioners were picked, many of us in Los Angeles (and many in the media) were concerned that none of you lived in the City of Los Angeles. We were told not to worry, that you understood the region and would draw fair maps. We’ve also been told, throughout the process, that the era of odd-shaped, gerrymandered districts, featuring odd pairings of communiƟes, were over. Then, in your iniƟal draŌ maps, you proposed a district lumping together the Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, and East Los Angeles! To get there, the district lines cross the Los Angeles River and dart around Downtown Los Angeles, making the district as bizarrely shaped as anything the poliƟcians ever drew. It will be extremely difficult for whomever is in elected in that district to represent those communiƟes. Those communiƟes are as different as can be. We, the undersigned, strongly urge you to draw more sensible maps. East Los Angeles (and Lincoln Heights, etc.) should be together with other eastside communiƟes so that residents there can elect a repeƟƟve of their choosing. The communiƟes of Hollywood Hills, Los Feliz, and Silver Lake are not “eastside.” No porƟon of those communiƟes are east of Downtown or east of the Los Angeles River.

Cooper, President 5850 W. 3rd St. #167 Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323) 397-3562 [email protected] Griffith Park Rare Plant Survey Plummer's mariposa-lily Calochortus plummerae (CNPS 1B.2) blooms near Skyline Trail in the northeastern corner of Griffith Park, 26 May 2010 (ph. DSC). Prepared by: Daniel S. Cooper Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. October 2010 1 Part I. Summary of Findings Part II (species accounts) begins after p. 26. We present information on extant occurrences of 15 special-status species, subspecies and/or varieties of vascular plants in Griffith Park and contiguous open space, including three for which no known local specimen existed prior to this study: slender mariposa-lily (Calochortus clavatus var. gracilis; CNPS 1B.2), Humboldt lily (Lilium humboldtii var. ocellatum; CNPS 4.2), and Hubby's phacelia (Phacelia hubbyi; CNPS 4.2). Using lists developed by local botanists, we document - from specimens or digital photographs - extant occurrences of nearly 40 additional plant taxa felt to be of conservation concern in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, including 16 for which no prior specimen existed for the park or surrounding open space. We also identify several dozen taxa known from the specimen record but unconfirmed in the park in recent years. From this information, we discuss patterns of occurrence of rare plants in the park, drawing attention to "hotspots" for rare species diversity, such as Spring Canyon and Royce Canyon, and identify areas, particularly in the northeastern corner of the park and along the southeastern border, where rare plants are relatively poorly represented in the landscape.

You agree that the service StarMap® provides is for informational purposes only and is subject to the Terms & Conditions. ​ ​ Welcome to the Hollywood Hills. If you are coming here to explore the nature of humanity at it’s most upscale, pristine and creative form, you have come to the right place. There are two unique qualities that make Hollywood Hills such a desired destination for celebrities and tourists alike; the terrain and of course the Stars that inhabit the region. The Hollywood Hills are the part of the Santa Monica Mountains, which makes them incredibly, well, hilly. Hills as we know aren’t flat, so they are difficult to build on. This creates for some creative and unique architectural opportunities for folks with dreams, ambition and money; the resources that come in abundance in this area. The Hollywood Hills isn’t your typical neighborhood, you won’t find two houses alike in this region. You won’t find apartment complexes, condo units and other standardized living in this area. Due to the diversity of land formations, each home is different from the next. The diversity of the twenty some odd thousand people that live in this 7 square mile is quite diverse as well. Not everyone that lives in The Hills is a television star or otherwise even some one that’s known. However, reading down the list of notable residents is like reading a list of the Golden Globes nominations — the stars that you’ve grown to love over a lifetime more than likely own a residence here.

CA-105 Location: Griffith Park, 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Latitude: 34.133970 Longitude: -118.288494 (center of picnic area, iTouchMaps.com) Griffith Park is a 4,310 acre, Los Angeles city park in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, California. The park is located 6 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains. The north and east borders of the park are adjacent to the 134 Freeway (Ventura), and the 5 Freeway (Golden State). The south border is Los Feliz Boulevard, but including the Municipal Plunge and playground, south of the boulevard, and to the west are the residences of the Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills areas. Significance: Griffith Park is Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument No. 942, adopted on January 27, 2009. Colonel Griffith J. Griffith donated the 3,015-acre property to the City of Los Angeles in 1896, and still it remains the largest private land gift for Los Angeles, and has mostly an untouched landscape in the center of an urban metropolis. Large portions of this landscape appear to retain integrity dating back to the period of native American land use. Within the park are some of the city’s most iconic treasures – Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign, also Historic Cultural Monuments, as well as the Feliz Adobe, and a Gabrielino Indian site.1 Griffith Park Zoo (Old Zoo) was built in 1913, and is “inset at the north-facing base of hills forming Spring Canyon, below Old Zoo Trail.”2 The zoo closed in 1966 with the opening of the Los Angeles Zoo.

  • Hollywood Is a District of Los Angeles Located Northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and West of Glendale. Due to Its Fame and Cult
    Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles located northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and west of Glendale. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios, the word "Hollywood"is often used as a metonym of American cinema, and it is also often used to denote the largest district of Los Angeles. His two nicknames "StarStruck Town" and "Tinseltown"refer to the interrelationship between the American film industry in Hollywood. Today, however, most production companies are scattered in other nearby neighborhoods, such as Westside, but several of the major studios such as editing, visual effects or post-production are still in Hollywood, such as studios Paramount Pictures. In the 1880s, a couple from Kansas, Harvey Henderson Wilcox (who made his fortune in real estate despite the loss of the use of his legs due to typhoid fever) and his wife Daeida Wilcox Beveridge, decided to relocate from Topeka to Los Angeles. In 1886, Wilcox bought 0.6 km2 of land in the countryside west of the city on the foothills of Cahuenga Pass. It Daeida Wilcox who chose the name "Hollywood" for the property, referring to a colony of German immigrants named and located in Ohio. She became acquainted during a train journey to the east, talking to a woman there. The pleasant sound of the word itself, the ranch was so named. The most famous avenue in Hollywood is Hollywood Boulevard. It extends from east to west from Vermont Avenue to Sunset Boulevard. It houses not only the Walk of Fame (the famous star with the names of stars), but also the Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theater which is awarded every year the Academy Awards.

  • Myths About Living in Los Angeles
    There are many pre-conceived notions floating around about Los Angeles. Are your ideas of LA based more on Hollywood than on reality? Here are some top myths and misconceptions about the City of Angels. 1. The weather is always sunny and warm. While it is mainly sunny in LA throughout the year, contrary to popular belief, LA does get chilly. Chilly meaning it dips into the low 50s and 40s, especially in the winter months of December – January. In fact, a layer of marine clouds that hangs over the city throughout the summer, known as June gloom, makes most mornings overcast until around noon. Even more: it rains. So you won’t need to retire your winter jacket or umbrella just yet! (Photo: Calvin Fleming/Flickr) 2. It’s overcrowded! With about 4 million people in 468 square miles, LA is crowded. It is the second most populous area in the U.S., besides New York City. However, there are over 80 neighborhoods spread out throughout the city. There are always places like Malibu, scenic hiking trails, and other quieter, more-removed areas to go to if you feel overwhelmed. And you don’t have to go very far because right here on campus, UCLA has expansive green lawns, a 7-acre botanical garden, and a 5-acre sculpture garden where you can relax and take in the greenery. (Photo: waltarrrrr/Flickr) 3. People are rich, fake, spoiled, stuck-up, and everyone is rude! And what city doesn’t have people that are like this? In LA, there are very rich people, very poor people, and people in-between.
