The Park Fee Ordinance implemented a new development impact fee that requires all new residential dwelling units to dedicate land, or pay a fee in-lieu, or provide a combination of land dedication and fee payment, for the purpose of acquiring, expanding, and improving park and recreational facilities for new residents. Pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.33 1.2, within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year, the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) shall report on each of the park and recreational facilities on which fees were committed in the last fiscal year and the appropriate date by which construction of the park and recreational facilities will commence and maintain accounts and prepare reports in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code Section 66000 et seq.). Section 66006 of the Mitigation Fee Act requires that each local agency that imposes developmental impact fees prepare an annual report providing specific information on those fees. Section 66001 of the Mitigation Fee Act also requires that the local agency makes findings every five years with respect to the purpose and nexus of the imposed fee, the sources and amounts of all of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements and the approximate dates on which the previously identified funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund. These requirements provide the community with information as to the status of impact fees collected. Park Fee Annual Report For Fiscal Year 2018-2019 November 20, 2019 Page 2 Government Code subsection 66006(b)(1) sets forth the annual compliance reporting requirements under the Mitigation Fee Act as follows: 1) A brief description of the type of fee in the account; 2) The amount of the fee; 3) The account balance at the beginning and end of the fiscal year; 4) The amount of fees collected and interest earned; 5) An identification of each expenditure from the account, including a brief description of the expenditure and the percentage of the total cost of the expenditure funded by the fees; 6) An approximate date when construction will begin if the city or county determines it has sufficient funds to complete a public improvement; 7) A description of any interfund transfer or loan made from the account; and 8) The amount of any refunds made from the account. Failure to report on activity and account balances per the applicable regulations could allow a successful challenge to the collection of the related fees in the future or the repayment of previously collected fees.

  • No State Or Local Agencies Have Specific Jurisdiction Over Paleontological Resources on Private Lands
    3.10 Paleontological Resources STATE REGULATIONS No state or local agencies have specific jurisdiction over paleontological resources on private lands. No state agency requires a paleontological collecting permit to allow for the recovery of fossil remains discovered as a result of construction-related earthmoving on state or private land at a project site. LOCAL PLANS AND POLICIES There are no regional and local plans, policies, regulations, or laws related to paleontological resources that apply to the General Plan update. PROFESSIONAL PALEONTOLOGICAL STANDARDS The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, a national scientific organization of professional vertebrate paleontologists, has established standard guidelines that outline acceptable professional practices in the conduct of paleontological resource assessments and surveys, monitoring and mitigation, data and fossil recovery, sampling procedures, specimen preparation, analysis, and curation (Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 1995, 1996). Most practicing professional paleontologists in the nation adhere to the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology assessment, mitigation, and monitoring requirements, as specifically spelled out in its standard guidelines. 3.10.3 THRESHOLDS FOR DETERMINING SIGNIFICANCE The impact of the proposed project related to paleontological resources would be considered significant if it would exceed the following threshold of significance, in accordance with Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines: ► Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geological feature. In its standard guidelines for assessment and mitigation of adverse impacts on paleontological resources, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (1995) established three categories of sensitivity for paleontological resources: high, low, and undetermined. Areas where fossils have been previously found are considered to have a high sensitivity and a high potential to produce fossils.

  • Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot
    Ditch the L.A. Traffic in West Hollywood, the Tiny Town Best Explored on Foot They say nobody walks in Los Angeles. But tiny West Hollywood is a city that commonly forges its own path – a walkable one lined with iconic rock ‘n roll and comedy clubs, trendy shops with a twist and tastes for any kind of appetite. Rated as California’s most walkable city by Walk Score (with a 91/100 score), West Hollywood’s 1.9 square miles offer the most entertaining way to hit your step goals for the day, with a bonus for style goals. Here are some of the best ways to pound the pavement and see West Hollywood’s top highlights: HOOF IT The average person takes roughly 2,000 steps per mile, meaning it’s about 2,700 steps from the Sunset Tower Hotel to The Abbey; 2,800 steps from the Mondrian L.A. to the Troubadour; 2,000 steps from the Andaz West Hollywood to Michelin-starred Sushi Ginza Onodera; and 1,300 steps from the Sunset Marquis Hotel to the Whisky a Go Go. No matter which stylish WeHo hotel is your home away from home, you can get anywhere on foot – achieve your daily activity goals while stopping for shopping, a cocktail or two (you’re not driving, after all), some world-class cuisine and a late-night dancing sesh. GET YOUR WORKOUT ON Bikes and Hikes LA takes advantage of the glorious weather for active sightseeing. Rated the No. 1 outdoor activity in Los Angeles by TripAdvisor, the West Hollywood-based company is the starting point for a variety of tours including their signature tour, “LA in a Day” which takes bikers across 32 miles of Los Angeles in six hours, from West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to Santa Monica Pier, and the Venice Canals to homes of the rich and famous.

  • LA Zoo Vision Plan
    3.14 Recreation 3.14 RECREATION The Zoo is a unique attraction within Griffith Park and the greater Los Angeles area. The proposed Project is expected to increase visitation to the Zoo and surrounding area, creating the potential for additional use and physical deterioration of recreational facilities, including those within the Zoo and Griffith Park. Additionally, proposed expansion to the Zoo and associated recreational facilities could result in physical impacts to the surrounding environment. However, proposed expansion in visitor-serving areas and public parkland would accommodate the projected increase in use, reducing potential for adverse impacts. Therefore, impacts to recreational facilities from the Project would be less than significant. This section addresses recreational facilities that would be affected by the Los Angeles Zoo Vision Plan (Vision Plan) in the City of Los Angeles (City). The analysis describes the regulatory setting, the existing conditions at the Zoo and vicinity, and the potential impact of the implementation of the Vision Plan (Project) on recreational facilities. Impact analysis considers the potential for physical detriment or reduction in access to existing recreational facilities and whether development of new recreational facilities would significantly affect the environment. 3.14.1 Environmental Setting Regulatory Setting State and local laws and regulations have been enacted to ensure adequate provision of recreational facilities in the City. There are no federal regulations that apply to the Project. State Regulations Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) The Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477) was established in 1965 by the California Legislature to set forth provisions in the State Subdivision Map Act for the dedication of parkland (e.g., dedication ratio of three acres per 1,000 population) and/or payment of in-lieu fees as a condition of approval of certain types of residential development projects.
