Distant Vistas ......................................................................61 MVCC - Master Input Document $4 of $61 Introduction Welcome to Mar Vista, Department of City Planning!! Though it will entail some time commitment, we, the citizens of Mar Vista, invite you to read the following History of Mar Vista, prepared by Mar Vista Historical Society Docent, S. Ravi Tam. It is in the Appendix or follow this link: Distant Vistas (http:// www.marvistahistoricalsociety.net/pdf/Distant_Vistas.pdf)! You will be glad you did, and you will appreciate what we value every day.! ! MVCC - Master Input Document $5 of $61 Part A: General Considerations I. Zoning ! II. Mobility! III. Infrastructure! I. Zoning! Background 2019 will mark the 92nd anniversary of Mar Vista as part of the city of Los Angeles. It has a colorful history and many facets, but all converge on its ocean views and its combination of the pastoral and the urban.! It began its journey as a family neighborhood as a part of Abbot Kinney’s Ocean Park Resort, and was ceded to his partner George Sanford as Ocean Park Heights in 1904. Grand View Blvd between Venice Blvd and Palms Blvd (Originally Ocean Park Ave) was the first gated community in Los Angeles County. A mammoth wrought iron gate spanning Grand View at Venice with “Ocean Park Heights” provided an impressive introduction to the community.! In 1923, another George, George Sunday, established subdivisions in Ocean Park Heights called Mar Vista and New Mar Vista, and in 1924, the newly formed Chamber of Commerce decided to change the name of Ocean Park Heights to Mar Vista. In 1927 Mar Vista was annexed into the City of Los Angeles.! During WWII, Mar Vista Hill was the site of an army anti-aircraft installation and, because of their proximity to the Douglas Aircraft Company, (in what is now Santa Monica Airport), who produced military aircraft for the US government, many tracts of Mar Vista were zoned to provide housing for Douglas employees, who at its production peak, numbered 44,000. After the war, most of the remaining tracts of Mar Vista were eventually all developed as residential tracts.! MVCC - Master Input Document $6 of $61 The outward character of the Mar Vista community has changed over time, but not its devotion and cherishment of family residential space. Mar Vista community expectations with regard to zoning can be delineated as follows: • There is a profound sense of family and place here. It is where generations are born and live their entire lives. Neighbors, businesses, and streets become an integral part of the fabric of peoples’ memories, and there is much to remember. • In 2003 the Gregory Ain Mar Vista Tract became the first Historic Preservation Overlay Zone containing solely modern-style, post-World War II homes. • The Department of City Planning (DCP) Office of Historic Resources lists 7 Historic Districts in Mar Vista: o The Barrington Multi-Family Residential Historic District o Colonial Corners Commercial Historic District o Venice/Grand View Commercial Historic District o The “Oval” Planning district o The Golden State Water Company o The Sepulveda Rose Apartments o The Westdale Residential Planning District • East of Interstate 405, there is Westside Village, a pre-war development designed specifically by Fritz Burns, to be affordable housing for families. The Districts can be accessed here, in detail: SuveyLA Mar Vista (http://preservation.lacity.org/files/Palms%20Mar%20Vista%20Appendix %20C_Final.pdf) As one can see, there is a healthy mix of commercial, single-family, and multi-family residential, and its common themes are low scale with lots of room for families to grow. As such, the Mar Vista Community expects the following for Mar Vista in the new Community Plan: • Retain the Gregory Ain Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) as is • Retain the 7 Historic Districts mentioned above as is, possibly via the use of MVCC - Master Input Document &7 of &61 %"Alternative Form Districts in ReCode! % Retain ALL OPEN SPACE. This includes, but is not limited to, Mar Vista Park, the 15-acre Los Angeles Department Water & Power (LADWP) Reservoir site (currently being leased by DRP to the North Venice Little League, ALL PARKWAYS, including - but not limited to - those along Venice Blvd., McLaughlin Ave., Grand View Blvd., Centinela Ave., National Blvd., and Barrington Ave.! This aligns with the Public Recreation Plan Section of the Service Systems! Element of the General Plan, which mandates one acre of Neighborhood Park for every 1,000 residents. Per Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE), 2016 estimates, the population of Mar Vista is 53,346. Mar Vista Recreation Center is 19 acres, the DWP site is 15 acres. Even considering all of the parkways, Mar Vista still falls short of this requirement.! We would suggest developing local public school areas for public use on weekends, particularly the large open tract at Daniel Webster Middle School.! RETAIN ALL R1 ZONES: There is a long history in Mar Vista of active e#orts to retain its low-scale, residential nature. Please refer to the following Ordinances:! 159643 (1984/1985): Moratorium to preserve the low residential category Generally on E/S of Mclaughlin Ave. South of Charnock Road to Venice Blvd Preservation of well- established single-family area in Various portions generally between National Blvd. and Venice Blvd. and between Centinela Ave. and Sawtelle Blvd. Zone change from R3-1 to R1-1 (CF-84-0772-S1 and CF84-0772-S2).! 161141 (1986): Change of Height District from No 1 to No 1VL for Commercial parcels on Nation Blvd at the Intersections of National and Barrington, Sawtelle and Sepulveda and on Palms Blvd. at Centinela and Sepulveda.! 164177 (1988): Downzoning of parcels on 339 Subareas in Mar Vista, Palms, and Del Rey as part of the General Plan Zoning Consistency Program: R4 and C changed to R3, R3 changed to R1.! MVCC - Master Input Document $8 of $61 ! Numerous Q restrictions to reduce height to not exceed two stores on residential and to restrict residential on certain C zones.! ! 164475 (1989): Density, height, parking and lighting restrictions on Commercial and residential parcels along Centinela Ave. between National and Venice Blvds.! 183497 (2015): Interim control ordinance to prevent “mansionization” in 15 neighborhoods, including Mar Vista.! 184814 (2017): Anti-“Mansionization” ordinance to supersede ordinance 183497 and changing all R1 zones in Mar Vista (with the exception of Westside Village) from R1 to R1V2 (ReCode).! 184802 (2017): Ordinance to define R1 variation zones in single family Residential lots and Hillside lots.

  • 5. Environmental Analysis
    5. Environmental Analysis 5.1 CULTURAL RESOURCES Cultural resources include places, object, structures, and settlements that reflect group or individual religious, archaeological, architectural, or paleontological activities, or are considered important for their architectural or historical value. Such resources provide information on scientific progress, environmental adaptations, group ideology, or other human advancements. This section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) evaluates the potential for implementation of the San Marino High School Michael White Adobe project to impact cultural resources in the City of San Marino. The analysis in this section is based, in part, upon the following information: • Michael White Adobe Historic Resources Technical Report, Chattel Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, August 4, 2009. This study is included in Appendix D of this Draft EIR. 5.1.1 Regulatory Background National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 (Protection of Historic Properties) of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. Section 106 Review refers to the federal review process designed to ensure that historic properties are considered during federal project planning and implementation. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an independent federal agency, administers the review process, with assistance from State Historic Preservation Offices. National Register of Historic Resources (National Register) The National Register is the nation’s official list of historic and cultural resources worthy of preservation. Authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, the National Register is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect the country’s historic and archaeological resources.

  • Nursing in Japanese American Incarceration Camps, 1942-1945
    Nursing in Japanese American Incarceration Camps, 1942-1945 Rebecca Ann Coffin Staunton, Virginia BSN, Georgetown University, 1989 MSN, St. Joseph’s College of Maine, 2008 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Nursing University of Virginia May, 2016 © Copyright by Rebecca A. Coffin All Rights Reserved May 2016 i Abstract Japanese Americans living in west coast states had been a marginalized group long before the attack against Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941 by the Empire of Japan, which accelerated the maelstrom of hysteria and hatred against them. As a result, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing Secretary of War Stimson and designated military commanders to prescribe military areas from which any or all persons could be excluded. United States military leaders identified all Japanese Americans in the western portions of Washington, Oregon, and California as potential subversive persons that might rise up and sabotage the United States from within its borders. Over 110,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and transported to one of ten incarceration camps until their loyalty to the United States could be determined. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9102 established the War Relocation Authority on March 18, 1942. This civilian agency provided for the shelter, nutrition, education, and medical care of the excluded Japanese Americans as they waited to be redistributed within the interior and eastern United States. Previous literature describing the medical care furnished to the Japanese Americans in the camps concentrated on early system problems related to supplies and sanitation efforts.

  • Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice Across Decades
    Home > Vol 21, No 5 (2018) > Ford Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice across Decades Jessica Ford In recent years, the US television landscape has been flooded with reboots, remakes, and revivals of “classic” nineties television series, such as Full/er House (1987-1995, 2016- present), Will & Grace (1998-2006, 2017-present), Roseanne (1988-1977, 2018), and Charmed (1998-2006, 2018-present). The term “reboot” is often used as a catchall for different kinds of revivals and remakes. “Remakes” are derivations or reimaginings of known properties with new characters, cast, and stories (Loock; Lavigne). “Revivals” bring back an existing property in the form of a continuation with the same cast and/or setting. “Revivals” and “remakes” both seek to capitalise on nostalgia for a specific notion of the past and access the (presumed) existing audience of the earlier series (Mittell; Rebecca Williams; Johnson). Reboots operate around two key pleasures. First, there is the pleasure of revisiting and/or reimagining characters that are “known” to audiences. Whether continuations or remakes, reboots are invested in the audience’s desire to see familiar characters. Second, there is the desire to “fix” and/or recuperate an earlier series. Some reboots, such as the Charmed remake attempt to recuperate the whiteness of the original series, whereas others such as Gilmore Girls: A Life in the Year (2017) set out to fix the ending of the original series by giving audiences a new “official” conclusion. The Roseanne reboot is invested in both these pleasures. It reunites the original cast for a short-lived, but impactful nine-episode tenth season.

  • HIV/AIDS Let's Talk About It: Prevention
    HIV/AIDS Let’s Talk About It: Prevention and Awareness in the Community May Nealey Tinsley Elementary School INTRODUCTION HIV/AIDS may seem like an irrelevant subject for elementary students; however, I am fully convinced that not only is it a subject that needs to be taught to that age group, but that it must be implemented now. Take a moment to look at our culture today. We are exposing our young children to sexual activity at increasingly younger ages. We need look no further than the family television set to see the cultural changes that have taken place in the last few years. In the 1960s, Hugh Beaumont could only give Barbara Billingsley a chaste kiss on the cheek in any room in the house except the bedroom on the popular sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. Single parent, Fred MacMurray, on the popular series, My Three Sons, would have never asked his lady friend to spend the night or live with him without the benefit of marriage. In our culture today we see married couples in bed together in sexually implicit scenes that leave little to the imagination on both daytime and nighttime television. We see single couples, both heterosexual and homosexual, living together openly. Shows like Will & Grace and Ellen have done much to change the attitudes of the average American as to what can and cannot be shown on national television. Even with these groundbreaking shows, polls show that 55% of Americans still disapprove of same sex marriage (Pew Forum). A Gallup Poll conducted in 2002 shows that 51% of Americans are married, 6% live with a partner, 9% are widowed, 14% are separated or divorced, and 18% never married.
