Community Plan Brentwood-Pacific Palisades, LAX, Palms-Mar Vista-Del Rey, Venice, Areas: Westchester-Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, and Westwood. Council Districts: 5 and 11 Scoping Meeting Dates: June 5 and June 9, 2014 Due Date for Public Comments: June 23, 2014 The proposed project consists of amendments to the Coastal Transportation Corridor Specific Plan (CTCSP) and West Los Angeles Transportation Improvement and Mitigation Specific Plan (WLA TIMP). The amendments would include an update to the development/traffic impact fee program, including revisions to the fees, trip generation rates, exemptions, and in lieu credits, and an update to the list of transportation improvements and mitigation measures to be funded, in part, by the impact fees collected from new development. Other proposed changes would include administrative amendments and minor revisions consistent with updates to transportation policies and/or integration of current best practices. The CTCSP and WLA TIMP were adopted in 1985 and 1997, respectively, with the purpose of establishing a traffic impact fee program1 to be assessed on new development and intended to assist in the implementation of future transportation improvements on the Westside. The traffic impact fees were established by specific plan ordinances and have been a part of the development approval process in the Westside since adoption. The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning (Lead Agency) will prepare an environmental impact report (EIR) for amendments to the CTCSP and WLA TIMP identified herein (proposed project). This Notice of Preparation (NOP) is being distributed to applicable responsible agencies, trustee agencies, and interested parties as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Comments from interested agencies are requested as to the scope and content of the environmental information that is pertinent to each agency’s statutory responsibilities in connection with the proposed project. Study Area The study area is in the western portion of the City of Los Angeles (the “Westside”) and encompasses the Coastal Transportation Corridor Specific Plan (CTCSP) area and the West Los Angeles Transportation Improvement and Mitigation Specific Plan (WLA TIMP) area (see Figure 1, Regional Location). As shown on Figure 2, the CTCSP area includes all or parts of the Westchester-Playa Del Rey, Palms-Mar Vista-Del Rey, and Venice community plan areas and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Plan area. The CTCSP area is generally bounded by the City of Santa Monica on the north, Imperial Highway on the south, the San Diego Freeway (Interstate [I]-405) on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. As shown in Figure 3, the WLA TIMP area includes all or parts of the Westwood, West Los Angeles, Brentwood-Pacific Palisades, and the Palms-Mar Vista-Del Rey community plan areas, and is generally bounded by the City of Beverly Hills/Beverwil Drive/Castle Heights Avenue/National Boulevard/Hughes Avenue on the east; Sunset Boulevard on the north; the City of Santa Monica and Centinela Avenue on the west; and Venice Boulevard on the south. Project Description The proposed project consists of amendments to the CTCSP and WLA TIMP. The updates of the CTCSP and WLA TIMP, as derived from the Westside Mobility Plan (WMP), are consistent with the City’s multimodal approach to transportation planning and apply such principles to the Westside in a more targeted manner. The details are summarized as follows. 1 Also referred to as a Transportation Impact Assessment (TIA) in the CTCSP and WLA TIMP.

Shin of Balios Capital, LLC retained SWCA Environmental Consultants (SWCA) to prepare a Historical Resource Assessment (HRA) for the property (Assessor Parcel No. [APN] 4241-036-035) located at 1639–1641 Abbot Kinney Boulevard (subject property) in the City and County of Los Angeles, California (City). Located on the property are two buildings: the older is a one-story wood- clad building constructed in 1918 and located toward the rear of the property, and the other is a three-story building constructed in 1935. Mr. Shin proposes to preserve the rear building onsite by elevating it and creating an open carport below, and to expand the front building.

  • West Adams Matters

    West Adams Matters

    WAHA West Adams Heritage Association September 2012 Number 285 West Adams Matters West Boulevard Bridge is Pending Historic Landmark Status by Mitzi March Mogul and John Patterson Historic West Adams is filled with landmarks that we may not pay all that much attention to as we drive by every day. The West Boulevard Bridge, erected in 1933 over Venice Boulevard, is one such historically significant structure. Now West Adams Heritage Association along with neighbors, adjacent neighborhood organizations, the Mid City Neighborhood Council, and Council District 10 are working together to recognize, designate and rehabilitate this historic bridge. The story and significance of the West Boulevard Bridge, like so much of the story of Los Angeles, begins with real estate development. As the city pushed west, as new communities were founded and developed, the need for transportation developed simultaneously. As early as 1902 when George Crenshaw and his son Charles began buying property, and as Moses H. Sherman and Eli P. Clark also purchased real estate in the area, these developers and entrepreneurs understood that without adequate transportation the communities they built would be isolated, no matter how attractive they may be. With the development in 1905 of Venice as a beach resort, the need to link the distances became even greater. Many small railway companies were created throughout Los Angeles, some of them traversing only one street or one small area.
