L.A. to map out substandard streets By GreGory Cornfield

Councilman David Ryu, 4th District, initiated the first step to establish a Construction Overlay Zone for the Hollywood Hills and other neighborhoods experiencing a recent influx of home construc- tion and renovations. Ryu directed the departments of transportation and planning to pre- pare a map highlighting all “Substandard Hillside Limited Streets” and report back to the planning and land use manage- ment committee with recommen- dations to mitigate the impacts of construction. “In the past decade, an increase in single-family home construc- tion in the hillside, particularly on substandard streets, has exacerbat- ed construction impacts to neigh- borhoods including … traffic con- gestion, parking availability, road- way degradation, and public safe- ty due to construction vehicles and machinery forced to park on nar- row hillside streets,” Ryu’s motion read. It calls for the city to implement guidelines and standards that will mitigate the effects of construc- tion. “Developers and neighborhood residents should have a clear understanding of what oversight and regulation the city deems appropriate for development pro- jects and their associated impacts,” the motion read. An overlay district map that marks the streets that are less than 20 feet wide could be the founda- tion for a Construction Overlay Zone. Ryu explained that the map will be used citywide, but for now the focus is on areas such as the Hollywood Hills. “If I’m having these problems, I know my colleagues are as well,” Ryu said. Ryu said his office has been receiving complaints about over- whelming construction for the past six months. He explained that the trouble started because permits are not needed for minor remodels or redevelopments on residential properties. The concerns do not arise when one See map page 22 6 February 25, 2016 Park Labrea News/Beverly Press LAPD wants Jewish community to wear the badge n Recruitment effort launched for Jewish reserve officers By edwin folven
