Masters students in Landscape Architecture at California State Projects are expected to address significant issues concerning Polytechnic University in Pomona. The Studio is interested in the resources and the physical environment and must promise to result in application of advanced methods of analysis and design with significant benefits to the general public. They should be complex particular emphasis on the preservation and restoration of sensitive and thorough, with clear and complete communication of their results, natural systems. Projects address serious and important ecological, which must become public information. social, and aesthetic issues, related to urban, suburban, rural, or natural landscapes. They generally result in conceptual or specific The Arroyo Seco Parkway Corridor plans, schematic site designs, land use policies, or land Landscape Framework Plan management strategies. This particular project is part of a larger planning effort involving the Projects are carried out by teams of third year graduates and Arroyo Seco area.

The academic studio environment offers a unique opportunity for graduate students to explore issues and possibilities.

In return, they have provided funding to cover the expenses art, and contribute to the public well-being. The real nature of these of the project. The scope of work involves more than just the projects and the clients needs demand that projects have a strong Parkway itself. The ISTEA bill is aimed at improving roads and the communities that they serve. Therefore, the project involves examining environmental, social, and aesthetic issues of the corridor, and recommending plans and designs that address these issues. 4 ArrOYO SECp PARKWAY COrrIDpR PLAn The Design Team Many individuals and organizations provided us with resources throughout the duration of this project.

  • West Adams Matters
    WAHA Number 241 West Adams Heritage Association June 2007 West Adams Matters A Landmark Victorian Cottage Needs New Home by Laura Meyers The little 1890 Queen Anne cottage on Washington Boulevard is battered and beaten up, but not bowed. And now the Henry Obee Cottage, boarded up for more than a year, has passed one hurdle in the effort to save this little piece of West Adams history. In May, eight months after Anna Marie Brooks took the initiative and nominated the property for landmark status, the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission voted to declare the Henry Obee Cottage ,^y^ > f , a Cultural-Historic Monument (HCM). But that vote came with a caveat: the Victorian cottage I has lost its original context and should be moved to a more compatible site, near residences of similar character. Brooks, WAHA, and several other preservation activists, including Ben Davis and Mitzi Mogul, played a seminal role in having this home's historic status recognized and made official. Indeed, the City's staff had recommended against an HCM determination, saying that the cottage wasn't "distinguished" enough. But we rallied to the cause, attending the May hearing and arguing, in part, that in fact vernacular cottages are as much a fabric of Los Angeles history - telling the story of Southern California's development from pueblo to cosmopolitan metropolis — as are mansions designed by famous architects. Located at 1408 West Washington Blvd. near the corner of New England Street (between Henry Obee Cottage's Hoover and Vermont), the Obee Cottage sits on a lot that is slated for the development of new nortli gable detail (continued on page 10) WAHA's Star Spangled 4th of July Wednesday, July 4,1 - 4 p.m.

This year, we invite you to join us in a community whose homes have, one by one, been celebrating their 100th birthdays- and 100 holiday seasons. With a nod to that milestone, we will explore a variety of holiday traditions that have warmed West Adams households over the past century. The West Acres Tract, which runs from Adams Boulevard to 23rd Street and Normandie Avenue to Rayrnond Avenue, is a part of the larger West Adams-Normandie Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ), and is also known as the "ANNA" neighborhood. Its period of development is from the early 1890s until about 1911. Prior to the latter part of the 19th century this area was primarily agricultural. With the coming of the horse-drawn streetcars from downtown Los Angeles in the IsiSOs, much of the land was subdivided for residential and commercial use. In 1896 the community • was annexed to the City of"Los Angeles, part of the South and Western Addition. Eventually the streetcar routes had been taken over by the Los Angeles Transit, and (continued on page 6) WAHA Wins Preservation Award WAHA has won a 2007 Governor's Historic Preservation Award for its popular Evening'Strolls, begun . three years ago to encourage West Adams residents to meet neighbors and learn about each area's cultural and architectural heritage.

  • IV. Environmental Impact Analysis
    IV. Environmental Impact Analysis IV. Environmental Impact Analysis A. Aesthetics 1. Introduction In 2013, Governor Edmund G. “Jerry” Brown signed Senate Bill (SB) 743. Among other things, SB 743 adds Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21099, which provides that “aesthetic and parking impacts of a residential, mixed-use residential, or employment center project on an infill site within a transit priority area shall not be considered significant impacts on the environment.” PRC Section 21099 defines a “transit priority area” as an area within 0.5 mile of a major transit stop that is “existing or planned, if the planned stop is scheduled to be completed within the planning horizon included in a Transportation Improvement Program adopted pursuant to Section 450.216 or 450.322 of Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations,” and “employment center project” as “a project located on property zoned for commercial uses with a floor area ratio of no less than 0.75 and that is located within a transit priority area.” PRC Section 21064.3 defines “major transit stop” as “a site containing an existing rail transit station, a ferry terminal served by either a bus or rail transit service, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during the morning and afternoon peak commute periods.” PRC Section 21099 defines an infill site as a lot located within an urban area that has been previously developed, or on a vacant site where at least 75 percent of the perimeter of the site adjoins, or is separated only by an improved public right-of-way from, parcels that are developed with qualified urban uses.
