  • 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.

  • 2 What We've Heard
    2 What We’ve Heard A meaningful Citywide Pedestrian Plan must truly reflect the needs and priorities of Glendale residents. Over the last 14 months, the project team has used a variety of in-person and online approaches to connect with those who live, work, and play in Glendale. This chapter provides an overview of those activities and identifies key themes that have emerged. The sections below describe the ways we have engaged the public, providing information about the techniques we’ve used, who has participated, and what we learned from each outreach event. The in-person events and groups described below were complemented by an online survey early in the project as well as a project website (see Figure 2-1) and social media presence by the City of Glendale. The online survey was used specifically to shape the Be Street Smart Glendale pedestrian safety education campaign, and more information about that is available at bestreetsmartglendale.com. Figure 2-1 Screenshot of Pedestrian Plan Website Source: Be Street Smart Glendale, http://www.bestreetsmartglendale.com/ Glendale Citywide Pedestrian Plan Glendale Citywide Pedestrian Plan 2-1 Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee The Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee (PSAC) was established by City Council Resolution to provide guidance in the development of the Citywide Pedestrian Plan, the Citywide Safety Education Initiative (Be Street Smart Glendale), and the Safe Routes to School Non-Infrastructure Program. Who is on the PSAC? What were their responsibilities? PSAC members include community members, representatives from Glendale Commissions, and City of Glendale staff.

  • 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.

  • 2019 TGHS Calendar
    WELCOME! On behalf of the Board of Directors of The Glendale Historical Society, I am pleased to present this 2019 Calendar of Events as we launch our 40th Anniversary year. From signature events such as our annual Home Tour and Taste of Spain soirée to walking tours of our beautiful, character-filled neighborhoods, we have assembled this year-long planner to help you explore Glendale’s history and its notable architecture through a variety of tours, educational activities, programs, lectures and special events at historic places. The Glendale Historical Society got its start in 1979 when a group of concerned residents came together to save the Doctors House – one of the city’s last two remaining Queen Anne- Eastlake style homes – from demolition. They moved it to Brand Park and undertook the heroic effort of restoring the Victorian house to its former glory. Today, The Glendale Historical Society continues in that same spirit as a dynamic, all-volunteer, nonprofit organization with approximately 750 members that works to celebrate and preserve Glendale’s rich and diverse history and architectural heritage through advocacy, education and outreach. Forty years of preservation, through collaborative efforts with city officials and staff, neighborhoods, property owners and other organizations, have resulted in establishing and strengthening Glendale’s preservation ordinances, saving a number of important buildings from demolition, the designation of more than 100 historic landmarks and the creation of seven historic districts with three more in process. We are proud to have – through lectures, tours and publications – kept alive the stories of how Glendale came to be and grew into the community it is today.

  • National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form
    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB No. 1024-0018 (3-B2) Exp. 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination Form Continuation sheet Item number 8 Page 10. Washington Irving Branch Library 1802 S. Arlington Avenue Signi ficance: The Washington Irving Branch Library is significant both for its architecture and its history. The formal dedication on January 10, 1927, was attended by 300 people, including community leaders and the Mount Vernon Junior High School Band. Architect David Allison spoke on the development of architectural style, its influence on our lives, and aesthetic pleasure. Althea Warren, then assistant librarian of the Los Angeles Public Library, spoke of the large family of branch libraries which reach from San Fernando Valley to San Pedro. The branch had its beginning in 1922 with the West Washington Improvement Association. This organization lobbied the City to establish a branch in the West Washington area and in late 1922 a lot was purchased at Arlington and 18th Street. The firm of Allison and Allison was commissioned to design the building, which cost $37,000 plus interior furnishings. The name of the library was suggested by Guy Bowerman, an association member, and honors the 19th century American writer. This name was adopted by the Improvement Association and was, in turn, accepted by the library board. The firm which designed this building, Allison and Allison, was one of the most prominent in Southern California during the first decades of the 20th century. They specialized in the design of churches, schools, and various types of public buildings.
