  • West Adams Matters
    WAHAWest Adams Heritage Association July 2013 Number 293 West Adams Matters The Annual Report Issue Preservation Year In Review by Jean Frost, Vice-President, Historic Preservation Each year in the summer, WAHA prepares an Annual Report for its members, reviewing the past year’s activities and events, our revenues and expenditures, and, especially, our historic preservation and cultural heritage advocacy activities. This report (beginning on page 6) highlights certain activities but by no means is a complete comprehensive review. WAHA’s key advocacy committee is the Historic Preservation Committee. This committee often addresses planning and zoning matters as well since our local issues are often intertwined with planning and land use rather than isolated issues of preservation. Committee members actively engage in commenting on development applications, stay abreast of land use initiatives, respond to issues as they arise, keep track of historic buildings needing to be moved and possible sites to move them to, and keep up to date on changes to California’s environmental laws as they relate to historic properties. Importantly, the Historic Preservation Committee also spearheads the designation of historic resources, working with WAHA members and, at times, professional outside consultants, preparing nominations. The Committee members are Eric Bronson, Jim Childs, Rory Cunningham, Laura Meyers, Mitzi Mogul, David Raposa, Roland Souza and John Patterson. New WAHA successfully designated the Brown- members are also most welcome. Gorsline Residence, now HCM No. 1021.

How appropriate that this year we will be in the former Stan’s Kite, an endangered Googie style coffee shop, whose demolition is part of the development proposals for the Washington Square Shopping Center mixed use project. Stan’s Kite, now Vintage Hollywood, is a very special venue. Located in the Washington Square Shopping Center at Washington Boulevard and 10th Avenue, the former Googie Style Stan’s Kite restaurant now houses Leroy Richardson III’s remarkable memorabilia collection, of Afro-American celebrity entertainers. (see article on page 6). At the May 23 meeting, the WAHA Martin Eli Weil Award for excellence in preservation will be presented for the third time. Named after distinguished preservation architect and WAHA member Martin Eli Weil, it represents the highest honor WAHA can bestow specifically for contributions to preservation in West Adams. Weil was always there to investigate, analyze and support preservation, whether saving a vernacular house or a creating National Register District.

  • 4.1 Aesthetics Draft EIR
    West Adams New Community Plan 4.1 Aesthetics Draft EIR 4.1 AESTHETICS This section provides an overview of visual changes that would occur and evaluates impacts associated with the proposed West Adams New Community Plan. Topics addressed include visual character, views and vistas, scenic resources, light and glare, and shade and shadows. Methodology As required under CEQA, the aesthetic analysis of a project must disclose the potential impacts the project would have on the existing visual character of the project area and surroundings. The concept of visual character, however, is not explicitly defined in the CEQA Guidelines or the City of Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide.1 Therefore, in this aesthetics discussion, potential visual character impacts will be determined based on industry-accepted definitions of visual character. Visual character can be defined in terms of the overall impression formed by the relationship between perceived visual elements of the built, urban environment existing in the potentially impacted area. Elements contributing to this impression include the following: • The nature and quality of buildings • The compatibility between uses and activities with the built environment • The quality of streetscape, including roadways, sidewalks, plazas, parks, and street furniture • The nature and quality of landscaping that is visible to the general public Visual character functions as a point of reference in assessing whether a project’s features would appear to be compatible with the established built environment.

    July-August 2014 Number 303 West Adams Matters The Annual Report Issue Preservation Year in Review (And What A Year It Was) WAHA Wins Bishop Mansion Lawsuit; 15 More West Adams Monuments Designated by Jean Frost This has been a landmark year for West Adams Heritage Association. Each year in the summer, WAHA prepares an Annual Report (beginning on page 10) for its members, reviewing the past year’s activities and events, our revenues and expenditures, and, especially, our historic preservation and cultural heritage advocacy activities. WAHA’s singular achievement, after many months of advocacy, is the success of WAHA’s lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles for allowing issuance of a categorical exemption on a project that negatively impacted historic properties, the Roger Williams Baptist Church and Bishop Residence (1342 West Adams Boulevard.) WAHA won the case when the owners (the Real Parties in Interest in legal terms) agreed not to move forward with their project until the Department of City Planning conducts an environmental review of the Project under CEQA. This is what WAHA sought by its petition to the court and ends this phase of action. (See more information in a separate article on page 2.) Much of the work undertaken to achieve this result was shepherded by the WAHA Historic Preservation Committee.
