The Task Force reports that they reviewed maps of zip · codes, the City's community planning areas and related 35 community plans, Neighborhood Council boundaries, annexation dates, City Clerk records of neighborhood boundaries established through Council Motions, a Department of Transportation list of neighborhood street signs, and an effort by unknown staff from the era of Mayor Tom Bradley to draw a single map containing all of the neighborhoods of the San Fernando Valley. The Task Force also reports that given the size of the City, they decided to focus on the San Fernando Valley, ·which also had the advantage of being a newer part of the City with well identified community names. During the discussion of this item representatives from Council District 4 and the Bureau of Engineering presented a map of the San Fernando Valley with transparent overlays depicting the different planning areas and boundaries.

The motion came on the heels of the controversy stemming from the efforts of a portion of the Van Nuys community to rename their area "Lake Balboa." A year after Councilmember Miscikoski's proposal, Councilmember LaBonge introduced a motion [CF#03-0182] requesting that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, Planning Department, Department of Transportation and the City Clerk work with the Bureau of Engineering's Map Division to produce a map showing all of the City's identified community and neighborhood names. The thinking behind the motion was that before the City devises a new process for renaming communities, a baseline is needed to determine what communities were already in existence. METHODOLOGY Staff met and reviewed what information was currently available regarding identified city neighborhoods and communities. This included maps of zip codes, the City's 7 community planning areas and related 35 community plans, neighborhood council boundaries, annexation dates, City Clerk records of neighborhood boundaries established through Council motion, a Department of Transportation list of neighborhood street . signs, and ap. effort by unknown
