These » Short-term = 0-5 years measures and strategies translate the overall direction » Mid-term = 5-10 years set forth in the Land Use Element from general terms to » Long-term = 10-20 years specific actions. As such, the Implementation Plan outlined » Ongoing = May require short-, mid-, and long-term in this chapter will guide City officials, commissions and actions committees, staff and the public in the overall effort to put into practice the Land Use Element goals, strategies and policies. This chapter consists of two sections: 1) Citywide Implementation Strategies (Table LU-4), and 2) Neighborhood Strategies. The citywide measures address topics that apply to the City as a whole, while the neighborhood strategies are tailored to specific community and neighborhood areas. Neighborhood strategies involve both preservation and change within centers and along corridors, particularly with regard to access, mobility and open space. Table LU-4 identifies the Land Use Element implementation measures. The table also identifies responsible departments, related policies from Chapter 4 (Land Use Plan) and the time frame to complete the implementation strategies. » Responsible Department(s). The lead City department which has primary responsibility for completion of a program will be listed. If additional departments or external agencies are involved in a critical or substantial supporting role, they are also listed. » Related Policies. The Citywide Implementation Strategies are correlated with one or more Citywide Goals, Strategies and Policies. Each Citywide Implementation Strategy is presented with a timeframe to guide the implementation of the Land Use Element. » Time Frame. A timeframe for existing and proposed (new) strategies and programs will be identified. Many strategies operate on an ongoing basis and are indicated as such. The timelines presented are only an estimate and may not occur as indicated due to unforeseen event, changes in funding, real estate market conditions or City operations.

  • Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
    Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg­ est source of smog­causing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J.

  • Welcome to Rancho Los Cerritos the California Native Garden
    Welcome to Rancho Los Cerritos Explore the region’s cultural and natural history as you stroll the site! Rancho Los Cerritos is located on the ancestral land of the Tongva people, and it was part of a large Spanish land grant. Built in 1844, the U-shaped adobe building has served as a ranch headquarters, an apartment house, and a private home. Today, the adobe echoes with the fascinating stories of all those who have called it home over the years, while the gardens provide space for people to unwind, as well as habitat for native and migratory birds, butterflies, and other critters. Rancho Los Cerritos is a national, state, and local historic landmark. It is open to the public Wednesdays through Sundays. Admission, tours, and parking are free, thanks to continuous donations. Donations also support the site’s innovative exhibits, award-winning education programs, and extensive preservation activities. Walking Route: Please connect with us on social media and join our California Native Garden (A), email list (www.rancholoscerritos.org) for upcoming Adobe (B), Orchard (C), events. Membership, site rental, and volunteer Backyard (D), Forecourt (E) opportunity information is available at the Visitor Center. The California Native Garden (A) Near the entrance to the California Native Garden is a plaque commemorating the site’s status as California Registered Historical Landmark #978. This portion of the site was originally covered with native grasses and coastal sage scrub. In the 1930s, landscape architect Ralph Cornell installed a garden of native and exotic plants for Avis and Llewellyn Bixby Sr., which helped to prevent erosion caused by rainfall.

  • Architectural Narrative “Rancho Los Alamitos” by Sally Woodbridge (Original Research by Loretta Berner and Pamela Young)
    Architectural Narrative “Rancho Los Alamitos” by Sally Woodbridge (Original research by Loretta Berner and Pamela Young) The legacies passed from one generation to the next are many and varied. Each reveals some aspect of human endeavor and achievement, but perhaps the most universal and enduring expressions of tastes, attitudes, and circumstances are to be found in the buildings each generation chooses to construct or modify to provide shelter and a place called “home.” Changing needs, lifestyles, and values dictate constantly changing patterns of settlement and building style and use. Multitudes of structures vanish without a trace, to be replaced by a new generation of buildings suited to contemporary taste. However, those structures that do survive for an extended period as archaeological fragments, romantic ruins, or, more rarely, as relatively intact buildings, tell us much about the people who built and used them, and occasionally, about those who preserved these tangible links to our past. On Rancho Los Alamitos mesa the buildings of the earliest inhabitants are gone. The impermanent structures erected by the Tongva, native inhabitants of Puvunga, left little trace beyond holes in the earth for lodge poles and fire pits. The Spaniards and Mexicans who followed built structures of adobe mud—only slightly more permanent than the reed and willow “wickiups” of the Tongva. However, in the case of Rancho Lo Alamitos, and at other rare sites, circumstances have intervened. The adobe walls of the Alamitos Ranch House, which date from the Spanish period, have survived because, layered over the old mud brick walls, generations of ranchers have added their own walls, successive structural modifications, and extensions.

  • Neighborhood Truck Traffic Background the Community of Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach Is Home to the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles (Ports)
    Chapter 5: Actions to Reduce Community Air Pollution Neighborhood Truck Traffic Background The community of Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach is home to the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles (Ports). The Ports serve as a gateway for the world’s markets through the movement of goods. These goods are transported to and from the Ports by ships, trains, and heavy-duty trucks. Trucks are not only used to deliver goods directly to and from the Ports, but also to railyards, warehouses, and retail stores. Trucks travel along freeways (e.g., I-710, I-110, I- 405, and I-91) that pass through the Wilmington, Carson and West Long Beach community. Also, trucks often travel near and through local neighborhoods to reach their destinations thus exposing residents to harmful air pollutants. The amount of freeway and neighborhood truck traffic in the Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach community is likely to increase as a result of the expected increase in goods movement activities in Southern California. These activities are largely driven by the anticipated growth in the volume of goods that are imported and exported through the Ports.1 This growth may lead to additional community air quality impacts resulting from increases in traffic volumes through local neighborhoods and freeway corridors. Community Air Quality Priorities – Idling Trucks, Enhanced Enforcement of Existing Regulations, Air Pollution from High Volume of Trucks and Cleaner Technology Options The Wilmington, Carson, West Long Beach CSC identified air pollution from heavy-duty diesel trucks and passenger cars traveling on local neighborhood streets and freeways as an air quality priority.

Houghton Park: Take a moment to appreciate the cultural history of the vast State of California. Many of us don’t spend much time thinking about what happened in Long Beach, much less California, over 500 years ago. The first settlers of California were the Native Americans and the area around Long Beach was the home to the Tongva (Gabrielino) tribe. The first European settlers to arrive in California were the Spanish. Many of us may not be aware, but Cabrillo and his fellow explorers anchored their ship offshore from present day Long Beach, just 50 years after Columbus discovered America.
