  • SFAR Mt Lee Rule
    Beachwood Canyon Neighborhood Association 2752 Westshire Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90068 323-462-BCNA (2262) www.BeachwoodCanyon.org [email protected] August 9, 2011 Docket Management Facility US Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE West Building Ground Floor Room W12-140 Washington, DC 20590 Petition for Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for the Mount Lee Area Purpose: This proposed rule seeks to provide for the safety and quiet enjoyment of the residents and visitors and other facilities in the Mt. Lee area of the City of Los Angeles (State of California). Aircraft have been reported flying within a few hundred feet of the hillside homes in this area (boundaries illustrated below). Increasing the minimum distance above the terrain (AGL) to 2,000 feet in this area should produce a noticeable difference in the aircraft sound environment, even if not fully restoring natural quiet to Griffith Park. The Mt. Lee area experiences heavy aircraft traffic as a result of the presence of the Hollywood Sign and tourism it attracts. The Proposed Language for the New Rule It shall be unlawful for any fixed wing aircraft or helicopter flying under visual flight rules to fly at an altitude of less than 2,000 feet over the surface bounded by Cahuenga Blvd. West at Barham Blvd., west on Cahuenga Blvd West to Broadlawn Dr., south on Broadlawn Dr. to Multiview Dr., south on Multiview Dr. to Mulholland Dr., south on Mulholland Dr. to Runyon Canyon Rd, south on Runyon Canyon Rd. to Vista St., south on Vista St. to Franklin Ave., east on Franklin Ave.

The Conservancy is the principal State planning agency for the Santa Monica Mountains Zone, which includes a significant portion of the Hollywood Community Plan Area. Policy PR3.4 supports the rezoning of paper streets for open space easements that can be used to connect trails and access recreational areas. The policy should adopt a tenant of zero net loss or erosion of public foot access on paper streets. The policy should state that where unpermitted physical encroachments into paper streets have occurred that no new building permits be issued on said properties until the encroachment is cured or said full, or partial, blockage of wildlife movement or public access is permanently mitigated to satisfaction of the Planning Director. The policy must be further expanded with specific language to be effective. The following language should be inserted to provide for effective public and wildlife access: No paper street, or section thereof, in the plan area shall be vacated without an initial study, public notice, a public hearing, and findings of no loss of potential public access or diminution of potential wildlife movement.
