LAFD Station 84 asked us to pass on to the public their acknowledgment of generosity and appreciated the many physical donations received to help victims of the recent fires. However\, Fire Station 84 told us they no longer have the capacity to accept and distribute more physical items. They want us to share their request that you not bring more items to the fire station and donate them to non-profits supporting fire victims who can receive them. In lieu of physical items\, they request monetary donations be given to non-profit organizations such as the LA Fire Foundation. They provided this QR code to facilitate your donations. \nAlso see https://recovery.lacounty.gov/donations/ donations for info from Los Angeles County on making physical and monetary donations. It mentions Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA.org)\, California Community Foundation\, American Red Cross\, and the Salvation Army. \nPlease pass these notes on to your community. \n  \n\nAREA REPORTS – deferred until next full Board Meeting on February 12\, 2025.\n\n  \n  \n\n Items for Full Board Discussion and Possible Action: \n\n  \n(Board) Item 1 (25 -004)  Treasurer Heath Kline \nNC Funding Program Policy 5.0 -Expenditures of up to $1\,000.00 of NC Funds in Declared Fire Emergencies \n  \nReport and possible action                                                                                   (approximately 5 minutes) \nPer NC Funding Policy 5.0 the NC President has the unilateral authority to spend or direct the spending of up to $1\,000.00 in board funds from the Outreach Budget category without the normal advance funding approval of the board for emergency services and or supplies within the parameters defined in section 2 of the policy. \n  \nThe NC president will report to the board on any such spending and how it was used in connection with the emergency and provide receipts and other appropriate documentation for this spending. Due to an exigent situation\, if this spending had to be made from the personal funds of a board member\, including the president\, the president can direct the board member to be reimbursed (with proper documentation submitted to the City Clerk) and is exempt from the normal board member reimbursement policies. See section 4 of the policy. \n  \nThe board will ratify any such spending by passing a BAC. If board member reimbursement(s) are required\, the board shall pass individual BAC(s) approving the reimbursements\, and the treasurer is directed to submit all required documentation to the City Clerk per section 7 of the policy. \n  \nSee NC Funding Policy 5.0 attached. \n  \n  \n  \n(Board) Item 2 (25 -005) Board President Dena Weiss and Treasurer Heath Kline \nOption for the WHWCNC to Approve Up To $7\,000.00 In Outreach Funding To Support Government Entities and Non Profits\, which are Providing Support To First Responders and Victims of Our Current Fire Declared Emergency \n  \nReport\, discussion and possible action by the Full Board if a quorum of the board is present or just the Governance Committee if not:                                                                (approximately 20 minutes) \n  \n  \nWhile our Woodland Hills community has been mercifully spared from the devastating wildfires ravaging other parts of our City of Los Angeles and the County Los Angeles\, many of our neighboring communities have not been as fortunate. Across the county\, families have lost their homes\, cherished possessions\, and beloved pets\, and tragically\, some have lost their lives. The scope of destruction in these communities is unprecedented\, with damage estimates in the billions and a recovery timeline that will stretch for years to come. \nAs a Neighborhood Council\, and a voice of our local community spared from this disaster\, we have both an opportunity and a moral imperative to join other NCs to support our fellow Angelenos in their crisis. Our position as a city-funded entity allows us to extend assistance to communities devastated by these fires to start their healing process\, demonstrating the strength of Los Angeles’s interconnected community network. \nTo the credit of the Office of the City Clerk\, which administers all spending for the 99 NCs across the city\, it recognizes the potential difference we can make. It has given NCs unprecedented special\, simplified\, streamlined spending procedures to follow if NC boards wish to allocate a portion of their Outreach Budgets to help fund government entities and non-profits supporting first responders and victims to begin the healing process. The following motions allow the WHWCNC to act per the Clerk’s special funding rules for providing fire-related disaster relief. \nMultiple Board members have suggested multiple deserving causes. Thank you to all of those members who have reached out with suggestions. Suggestions still have to conform to the City requirements and rules.  Some of those suggestions include the following: \nThe Public Safety Committee requested funding to local food distribution for those effected by the fires: \n– West Valley Food Pantry: $333. \n– New Friends Homeless Center: $333. \n– About My Father’s Business: $333. \nThe Homeless and Social  Justice Advocacy Committee requested additional funding for the West Valley Food Pantry during these challenging times\, up to $2\,000.00. \nOther Board members have emailed suggestions about other worthy local providers who are assisting fire victims such as local animal shelters\, which are overwhelmed with injured and displaced pets. \nIn consideration of all of the input received\,  the following motion is suggested to the Board: \nMotion: The WHWCNC will expend up to $7\,000 of its available FY-24-25 Outreach Budget\, as delineated as follows  to provide funding to the following known\, established and City approved non-profit organizations that are providing support and disaster relief to our first responders and victims in need specifically because of our current fire declared emergency: \nThe WHWNC Board directs the NC Treasurer to submit to the City Clerk the necessary BAC and supporting documentation (Contribution Payment Form\, Invoice\, etc. See supporting Doc email “Expenditures in Support of the Wildfire Emergency Relief Efforts” sent from Clerk.ncfunding@lacity.org sent January 13 attached) for approval and funding by check preferably (to save these organizations the merchant credit card discount fees) or NC credit card the following; \n  \n\n$1\,000 to the West Valley Food Pantry c/o its Fiscal Agent on file with the City Clerk earmarked for its Fire Victims Aid program.\n\n  \n\n$2\,000 to In Defense of Animals (IDA) with instructions for IDA to distribute our contribution between the West Valley Animal Shelter (WVAS) location of City of LA Dept. of Animal Services and the Large Animal Evacuation Center located at Pierce College.\n\nIDA is an established non-profit on file with the City Clerk that the Tarzana NC has used before to direct its donations to the WVAS because NCs cannot direct funding directly to other City entities like our City animal shelters.

It was not heard at our regularly scheduled January board meeting because the meeting had to be canceled due to the Fire Emergency. Hearing this item now will negate the need for another special meeting before our February meeting. \n  \nWoodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nPLUM Committee\, date December 19\, 2024  MOTION – Case: CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367 \n  \nAs pertaining to Case CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held three (3) in person or virtual zoom public meetings for review of the application filed by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC. \n  \nProject Description: The project is a New Mixed-Use Residential Apartment Complex over Commercial: \nThe Lot Size is 14\,484.9 feet. The applicant proposes a 54-unit (7) story building with 1st floor parking \narea and first floor 1\,249.8 SF commercial space with (1) floor of subterranean parking. \nThe project includes a (5) story 39 feet by 27 feet open interior courtyard with walkway surrounding the open space that is open to above. \nThe project will have per AB 1287 (6) very low-income apartments which allows the applicant to request from the City various bonuses\, waivers\, exemptions and incentives to maximize profit. \nThe lot is zoned for C1-1VLD Neighborhood Office Commercial with Very Low Density. \nThe project’s residential portion will provide (44) automobile parking spaces\, (60) long-term bicycle parking stalls and five (5) short-term bicycle parking stalls. \nThe open space is primarily located in a second-floor courtyard\, a roof top deck\, and on private balconies. \nThe project proposes grading and exporting up to 3\,365 cubic yards of earth to create a basement parking lot. \n  \nWhereas the developer is requesting the following Bonus\, Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives. \n  \n\nPursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15311\, Class 11\, and Section 15332\, Class 32\, an exemption from CEQA and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines\, Section 15300.2 applies.\n\n  \n\nPursuant to Section 12.22 A.25(g)(3) of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC)\, a Density Bonus for a project totaling 54 dwelling units (six (6) units as Restricted Affordable Housing Units for Very Low Income households and 48 market-rate units.\n\n  \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks a density bonus per AB 1287 (6) low income housing units and requesting lot area calculations to include ½ of the back alley to allow for a larger project. \n  \n\nadditional height from 30 feet to 85 feet 5 inches\, an approximate 160% increase\nincrease in Floor Area Ratio from 1 to 1 to 4.03 to 1\, an approximate 365% increase\nreduction of LAMC required parking from 89 spaces to 44 spaces\n\n  \nwith the following Incentives and Waivers: \n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a (FAR) floor area ratio of 4.03:1 instead of the permitted 1.0:1 per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 6.B.3;\n\n  \n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a height of 85 feet and 5 inches instead of the permitted 30 feet per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.e.1;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow 44 automobile parking spaces for the residential portion of the\n\ndevelopment instead of the required 89 spaces per the LAMC Code Section 12.21 A.4(a); \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific\n\nPlan lot coverage standard as required by Specific Plan Section 7.B.2 to allow a lot coverage of 88 percent instead of the permitted 60 percent; \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific\n\nPlan height setback standard as required by the Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.g to allow the building to exceed 45 feet in height without providing at least a 10 foot setback for each 10 foot increment above 45 feet; \n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the compact parking stall standard as required by\n\nLAMC Section 12.21 A.5(c) to allow seven (7) compact parking stalls to be provided without \nfirst providing one standard parking stall per dwelling unit; \n  \n\nPursuant to Section 13B.4.2 of Chapter 1A of the LAMC and Section 9 of the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan\, Project Compliance to permit the construction of a mixed-use development comprising 54 dwelling units and 1\,250 square feet of commercial floor area and a sign.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, the WHWCNC PLUM Committee finds the proposed project vastly does not comply with the standard construction requirements of the City of Los Angeles and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan and for the following findings: \n  \nWhereas\, Parking. \n\nThe Applicant requests a reduction from 89 required parking spaces to 44 parking spaces and a waiver to allow (7) compact parking spaces without providing the required 54 standard parking spaces or (1) standard parking space per unit.\nThe car park has tandem parking\, which is problematic as there is no onsite parking attendant to move cars that could be blocked by another car.\nThe project appears to provide only (1) exterior parking space located at the back of the building.\nThe applicant does not address where the majority of the residents will park\, as Ventura Blvd. has metered parking and the project residents cannot park on side streets\, in adjacent business parking lots or on residential streets as this would cause a hardship for businesses and stakeholders.\nThe Applicant does not address Guest Parking.\nThe Project provides (25) two-bedroom units but does not provide (25) tandem parking spaces.\nThe lower parking ramp is 8’- 2” which may not provide headroom for trucks.\nDriveway Access – The driveway access for two-way traffic does not meet the (35) feet wide requirement.\nThe Applicant does not address required ingress and egress for the Fire Department.\nThe street access entry ramp = 19’- 0” therefore the alley should meet the same width requirements\n\n  \nLADOT has determined there does not need to be a traffic study as of August 2024. \nThe WHWCNC PLUM Committee requests LADOT to conduct a traffic study as the reduced parking will have an extremely negative effect on project residents\, adjacent businesses and single-family neighborhoods and also address required street entrances and exits for fire trucks and ambulances. \nWhereas\, the Applicant requests a Lot Size increase to 15\,691.3 sq. ft. when the ACTUAL Lot Size is \n14\, 484.9 sq. ft. \nThe applicant is requesting City Planning to allow the inclusion of ½ of the alley behind the project to be able to reach the requested 15\,691.3 s. ft. which allows the applicant to build a larger project than normally allowed and receive a greater density bonus. \n  \nWhereas\, the project can be built only if the City allows numerous off menu Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives which may cause unnecessary harm to the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks to take advantage of the density bonus per AB 1287 by providing (6) low-income housing units in order to vastly overbuild the site \n  \nThe applicant has made other various Categorical Exemption Findings that can be questioned as for example he states there are other high rise commercial/residential buildings in the area. \nThere is only one four story building in the area\, which is a commercial office building. \n  \nThe applicant does not provide any proof that the maximized design of the building and the site is “needed” “necessary” or “required” nor does the Applicant provide any proof that the design benefits or improves low-income housing concerns in the area or Los Angeles. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant is requesting an Environmental Categorical Exemption (CE) Class 32 CE (CP-7828). However\, the project is within five hundred (500) feet of the 101 Freeway and the applicant is proposing a roof top deck\, balconies and an open air five story courtyard where residents could be subjected to health risks from freeway pollution ultrafine particulate matter. Single family neighborhoods are located North and South of the project and will be subjected loss of privacy and noise pollution from the roof top deck. \n  \nWhereas\, the Project is located within five hundred feet of the 101Freeway. The project has (6) low-income units but the project also has (48) market value units. However\, the Applicant does not provide any indoor amenities found in other NEW market value projects in Woodland Hills. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant does not provide mitigation measures per the Los Angeles Public Health Report and City Zoning ZI No. 227 and Best Practice Mitigation Measures to Reduce Exposure to Road Pollution \n\nBuilding design measures:\nSite apartment units as far as possible from the source of air pollution.\nDouble-glaze all windows in the housing units to reduce exposure to air pollution.\nAvoid or limit the placement of balconies on the side of the building facing the freeway/high\n\nvolume roadway. \n\nDesign buildings with varying shapes and heights to help break up air pollution emission\n\nplumes\, increase air flow\, and help reduce pollutants such as particulates and noise. \n  \n\nSite-related measures:\nWhere possible\, erect a sound wall between the development and the freeway to help serve as a noise and air pollution barrier.\nPlant vegetation barriers between the freeway/high volume roadway and the housing site to\n\nhelp with pollution reduction. \n\nPlant additional trees surrounding the housing development to further mitigate air pollution.\n\n  \nWhereas the PLUM Committee finds the Applicant has also not provided mitigation measures for the following: \n  \nBalconies – The Applicant has defined the balconies as being part of the Open Space calculation. \nHowever\, balconies should not face the 101 freeway and should not be allowed on the sides of the building as the project is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. \nFurthermore\, the balconies cannot be counted as open space as the balconies have a roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is defined as Open Space and designed to be used as a recreational space for residents. \nThe roof top deck is open air and is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. The deck will expose all residents to freeway road pollution which is hazardous to the health of the residents. \nFurthermore\, the roof top deck cannot be counted as open space nor landscaped green space as there is mechanical equipment on the roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is open air and therefore noise coming from the deck cannot be mitigated. \nUnmitigated noise pollution such as loud parties\, loud conversations and loud music will affect the wellbeing of the neighbors and the property values of the surrounding single-family neighborhoods and businesses. \n  \nInterior Five Story Courtyard \n\nThe applicant defines the 39 x 27 feet FIVE STORY Inner Courtyard as Open Space. However\, this “open space” is in fact a FIVE STORY AIR SPACE which could be hazardous to residents\, children and pets as they could fall as far as five stories.\nThis air space is also open to the roof top deck.\nThe rooftop deck is open to the lower courtyard but does not provide a five (5) feet stepped back buffer with two (2) railings.\nA 42-inch tall railing is not tall enough as even a child can climb over the railing and fall.\nAll apartment doors and windows open onto this small interior (5) story air space that is 39 feet wide by 27 feet deep. This is a potential invasion of privacy and exposes residents\, including children\, to all smells emanating from all apartments including possible cigarette smoke\, marijuana smoke\, toxic fumes and all varieties of noise pollution and sound echo effect coming from other residents’ apartments.\nThe five-story courtyard/air shaft design is reminiscent of 1800’s New York tenement inner courtyard double dumbbell air shafts that were deemed illegal and a health hazard for residents.\nThe small five story “courtyard” air space will not allow for proper air circulation\, air quality and proper distribution of sun light.\nThe Applicant cannot count the second story courtyard as open space nor landscaped greenspace\, as the area is 90% hardscape.\n\n  \nTherefore\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee for the findings stated herein\, will not support the application and plans submitted by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC \, and recommend non-support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center NeighborhoodCouncil(WHWCNC) \n  \nFurthermore\, all plans that have been presented either in person or electronically to the PLUM Committee and the Board of the WHWCNC shall be submitted to Planning as a final project plan application submittal. \n  \n\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC. Any modifications to the elevation(s)/ architecture of any other changes that are no longer in substantial conformance will be presented first to the WHWCNC before submitting them to City Planning.\n\n  \n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendation. \n  \nVote to not support the project: Aye: 6         Nay: 0           Abstain: 0 \n  \nSee Attached 21-page PLUM Report & stakeholder letter in supporting documents attachment. \n  \nFull Board Roll call vote \n  \n  \nGOVERNANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEMS \n  \n  \nItem 4 (25 -007) Review by Governance Committee of qualifications for Juliet Ladines Schwarz to apply for the Area 7 Alternate position.

Ventura Blvd.\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nA project that includes off-menu requests\, as outlined in LAMC §12.22 A.25\, is reviewed by City Planning through a discretionary review process. These projects require CEQA analysis and are reviewed by the City Planning Commission (CPC). \nThese determinations may not be appealed after the CPC acts. \n  \nMotion \nAs pertaining to Case CPC-2024-4893-DB-SPPC-HCA and ENV-2024-4894-CE\, located at 19923 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held three (3) in person or virtual zoom public meetings for review of the application filed by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC. \n  \nProject Description: \nThe project is a New Mixed-Use Residential Apartment Complex over Commercial: \nThe Lot Size is 14\,484.9 feet. The applicant proposes a 54-unit (7) story building with 1st floor parking area and first floor 1\,249.8 SF commercial space with (1) floor of subterranean parking. \n  \nThe project includes a (5) story 39 feet by 27 feet open interior courtyard with walkway surrounding the open space that is open to above. \nThe project will have per AB 1287 (6) very low-income apartments which allows the applicant to request from the City various bonuses\, waivers\, exemptions and incentives to maximize profit. \nThe lot is zoned for C1-1VLD Neighborhood Office Commercial with Very Low Density.\nThe project’s residential portion will provide (44) automobile parking spaces\, (60) long-term bicycle parking stalls and five (5) short-term bicycle parking stalls. \n  \nThe open space is primarily located in a second-floor courtyard\, a roof top deck\, and on private balconies. \nThe project proposes grading and exporting up to 3\,365 cubic yards of earth to create a basement parking lot. \n  \nWhereas the developer is requesting the following Bonus\, Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives. \n  \n\nPursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15311\, Class 11\, and Section 15332\, Class 32\, an exemption from CEQA and that there is no substantial evidence demonstrating that an exception to a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines\, Section 15300.2 applies.\nPursuant to Section 12.22 A.25(g)(3) of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC)\, a Density Bonus for a project totaling 54 dwelling units (six (6) units as Restricted Affordable Housing Units for Very Low-Income households and 48 market-rate units.\n\nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks a density bonus per AB 1287 (6) low income housing units and requests lot area calculations to include 1⁄2 of the back alley to allow for a larger project. \n  \n\nadditional height from 30 feet to 85 feet 5 inches\, an approximate 160% increase\nincrease in Floor Area Ratio from 1 to 1 to 4.03 to 1\, an approximate 365% increase\nreduction of LAMC required parking from 89 spaces to 44 spaces\n\n  \nwith the following Incentives and Waivers: \n  \n\n Off-Menu Incentive to allow a (FAR) floor area ratio of 4.03:1 instead of the permitted 1.0:1 per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 6.B.3;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow a height of 85 feet and 5 inches instead of the permitted 30 feet per the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.e.1;\n\n  \n\nOff-Menu Incentive to allow 44 automobile parking spaces for the residential portion of the development instead of the required 89 spaces per the LAMC Code Section 12.21 A.4(a);\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan lot coverage standard as required by Specific Plan Section 7.B.2 to allow a lot coverage of 88 percent instead of the permitted 60 percent;\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the Ventura/Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan height setback standard as required by the Specific Plan Section 7.E.1.g to allow the building to exceed 45 feet in height without providing at least a 10 foot setback for each 10 foot increment above 45 feet;\n\n  \n\nWaiver of Development Standards from the compact parking stall standard as required by LAMC Section 12.21 A.5(c) to allow seven (7) compact parking stalls to be provided without first providing one standard parking stall per dwelling unit;\n\n  \n\nPursuant to Section 13B.4.2 of Chapter 1A of the LAMC and Section 9 of the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan\, Project Compliance to permit the construction of a mixed-use development comprising 54 dwelling units and 1\,250 square feet of commercial floor area and a sign.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, the WHWCNC PLUM Committee finds the proposed project vastly does not comply with the standard construction requirements of the City of Los Angeles and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan and for the following findings: \n  \nWhereas\, Parking. \n  \n\nThe Applicant requests a reduction from 89 required parking spaces to 44 parking spaces and a waiver to allow (7) compact parking spaces without providing the required 54 standard parking spaces or (1) standard parking space per unit.\nThe car park has tandem parking\, which is problematic as there is no onsite parking attendant to move cars that could be blocked by another car.\nThe project appears to provide only (1) exterior parking space located at the back of the building.\nThe applicant does not address where the majority of the residents will park\, as Ventura Blvd. has metered parking and the project residents cannot park on side streets\, in adjacent business parking lots or on residential streets as this would cause a hardship for businesses and stakeholders.\nThe Applicant does not address Guest Parking.\nThe Project provides (25) two-bedroom units but does not provide (25) tandem parking spaces.\nThe lower parking ramp is 8’- 2” which may not provide headroom for trucks.\nDriveway Access – The driveway access for two-way traffic does not meet the (35) feet wide requirement.\nThe Applicant does not address required ingress and egress for the Fire Department.\nThe street access entry ramp = 19’- 0” therefore the alley should meet the same width requirements\n\n  \nLADOT has determined there does not need to be a traffic study as of August 2024. \nThe WHWCNC PLUM Committee requests LADOT to conduct a traffic study as the reduced parking will have an extremely negative effect on project residents\, adjacent businesses and single-family neighborhoods. \n  \nWhereas\, the Applicant requests a Lot Size increase to 15\,691.3 sq. ft. when the ACTUAL Lot Size is\n14\, 484.9 sq. ft. \nThe applicant is requesting City Planning to allow the inclusion of 1⁄2 of the alley behind the project to be able to reach the requested 15\,691.3 s. ft. which allows the applicant to build a larger project than normally allowed and receive a greater density bonus. \n  \nWhereas\, the project can be built only if the City allows numerous off menu Exemptions\, Waivers and Incentives which may cause unnecessary harm to the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses. \n \nThe Density Bonus for zone C1-1VLD (very low density) properties allows one unit for every 800 square feet of lot area. The applicant seeks to take advantage of the density bonus per AB 1287 by providing (6) low-income housing units in order to vastly overbuild the site \n  \nThe applicant has made other various Categorical Exemption Findings that can be questioned as for example he states there are other high rise commercial/residential buildings in the area. \nThere is only one four story building in the area\, which is a commercial office building. \nThe applicant does not provide any proof that the maximized design of the building and the site is “needed” “necessary” or “required” nor does the Applicant provide any proof that the design benefits or improves low-income housing concerns in the area or Los Angeles. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant is requesting an Environmental Categorical Exemption (CE) Class 32 CE (CP-7828). However\, the project is within five hundred (500) feet of the 101 Freeway and the applicant is proposing a roof top deck\, balconies and an open air five story courtyard where residents could be subjected to health risks from freeway pollution ultrafine particulate matter. Single family neighborhoods are located North and South of the project and will be subjected loss of privacy and noise pollution from the roof top deck. \n  \nWhereas\, the Project is located within five hundred feet of the 101Freeway. The project has (6) low- income units but the project also has (48) market value units. However\, the Applicant does not provide any indoor amenities found in other NEW market value projects in Woodland Hills. \n  \nWhereas\, the applicant does not provide mitigation measures per the Los Angeles Public Health Report and City Zoning ZI No. 227 and Best Practice Mitigation Measures to Reduce Exposure to Road Pollution \n\nBuilding design measures:\nSite apartment units as far as possible from the source of air pollution.\nb. Double-glaze all windows in the housing units to reduce exposure to air pollution.\nc. Avoid or limit the placement of balconies on the side of the building facing the freeway/high volume roadway.\ng. Design buildings with varying shapes and heights to help break up air pollution emission plumes\, increase air flow\, and help reduce pollutants such as particulates and noise.\n\n  \n\nSite-related measures:\nWhere possible\, erect a sound wall between the development and the freeway to help serve as a noise and air pollution barrier.\nb. Plant vegetation barriers between the freeway/high volume roadway and the housing site to help with pollution reduction.\nc. Plant additional trees surrounding the housing development to further mitigate air pollution.\n\n  \nWhereas the PLUM Committee finds the Applicant has also not provided mitigation measures for the following: \n  \nBalconies – The Applicant has defined the balconies as being part of the Open Space calculation.\nHowever\, balconies should not face the 101 freeway and should not be allowed on the sides of the building as the project is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway.\nFurthermore\, the balconies cannot be counted as open space as the balconies have a roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is defined as Open Space and designed to be used as a recreational space for residents. The roof top deck is open air and is within 500 feet of the 101 freeway. The deck will expose all residents to freeway road pollution which is hazardous to the health of the residents.\nFurthermore\, the roof top deck cannot be counted as open space nor landscaped green space as there is mechanical equipment on the roof. \n  \nThe Roof Top Deck is open air and therefore noise coming from the deck cannot be mitigated. Unmitigated noise pollution such as loud parties\, loud conversations and loud music will affect the wellbeing of the neighbors and the property values of the surrounding single-family neighborhoods and businesses. \n  \nInterior Five Story Courtyard \n\nThe applicant defines the 39 x 27 feet FIVE STORY Inner Courtyard as Open Space. However\, this “open space” is in fact a FIVE STORY AIR SPACE which could be hazardous to residents\, children and pets as they could fall as far as five stories.\nThis air space is also open to the roof top deck.\nThe rooftop deck is open to the lower courtyard but does not provide five (5) feet stepped back buffer with two (2) railings.\nA 42-inch-tall railing is not tall enough as even a child can climb over the railing and fall.\nAll apartment doors and windows open onto this small interior (5) story air space that is 39 feet wide by 27 feet deep. This is a potential invasion of privacy and exposes residents\, including children\, to all smells emanating from all apartments including possible cigarette smoke\, marijuana smoke\, toxic fumes and all varieties of noise pollution and sound echo effect coming from other residents’ apartments.\nThe five-story courtyard/air shaft design is reminiscent of 1800’s New York tenement inner courtyard double dumbbell air shafts that were deemed illegal and a health hazard for residents.\n\n  \n\nThe small five story “courtyard” air space will not allow for proper air circulation\, air quality and proper distribution of sun light.\nThe Applicant cannot count the second story courtyard as open space nor landscaped greenspace\, as the area is 90% hardscape.\n\n  \nTherefore\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee for the findings stated herein\, will not support the application and plans submitted by Dan Hosseini/19923 Ventura LLC \, and recommend non-support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) \n  \nFurthermore\, all plans that have been presented either in person or electronically to the PLUM Committee and the Board of the WHWCNC shall be submitted to Planning as a final project plan application submittal. \n  \n\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC. Any modifications to the elevation(s)/ architecture of any other changes that are no longer in substantial conformance will be presented first to the WHWCNC before submitting them to City Planning.\n\n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendation. \nPLUM Vote: Aye: 6 Nay: 0 Abstain: 0 Absent: 2 \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (3)  \nJayce Baron\, Chair of Homeless and Social Justice Advocacy Committee\n(25 -003) Motion to  Request $250 to create 45 “Community Recourse Cards” for our Unhoused neighbors \n  \nFor discussion and action:                                                              (estimated time 10 minutes) \n  \nThe HSJAC requests $250 to create 450  “Community Recourse Cards” for our Unhoused neighbors.

To do this\, review the support docs on the selection process from DONE\, the City Clerk and the linked presentation from Glenn Bailey at the November LANCC meeting. \n  \nSee LANCC Discussion on Elections vs Selections: \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVideo Conferencing\, Web Conferencing\, Webinars\, Screen Sharing \nus02web.zoom.us\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nStarting at 41:00 minutes into the recording and ending at 58: minutes. \n  \nSee also the following supporting documents: \n  \nDONE 10/31/24 Email Subject: Important: Information on NC Option to Change to Selection Update [3 pages] \n  \nDONE Comparison Table; What’s the Difference Between Neighborhood Council Elections and Selections?

The Education Committee voted to approve and is requesting funding of $3\,000 toward their cost of $4\,565 plus incidental travel costs to provide supplemental science education from Discovery Cube\, an outside vendor. These on-campus STEM workshops are scheduled annually for a school day TBD in May 2024\, and will happen regardless of how much funding the Neighborhood Council chooses to grant (see attached NPG & supporting documentation). \nMitra Hormozian\, PTO Vice President provided the committee a detailed presentation of the elements of the program\, including an invoice from the vendor costing $11.00 per student for curriculum differentiated by grade level. Discovery Cube is the vendor\, delivering hands-on science education for the past 35 years in STEM proficiency\, early childhood education\, healthy living\, and environmental stewardship. Discovery Cube’s education teams transform the typical teacher-centered classroom by executing workshops and assemblies that require students to actively engage in hands-on experiences and discovery to find solutions to everyday challenges. These real-world applications give learners an opportunity to identify science as a solution and as a force for good in their communities. This STEM program serves all 415 Calabash students: TK through 5th grade students including students with special educational needs; and\, \nUpon support of this grant request\, Mitra Hormozian has conveyed that the PTO has offered NC recognition in their parental email blasts and the WHWC Neighborhood Council free space and an outreach table (we can bring our pop-up 10×10 booth setup – NC volunteers needed) at their Spring Carnival Saturday April 13\, 2024\, at the LDS Church off Mulholland (4501 Deseret Dr. WH\, Ca 91364) from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The WHWC Neighborhood Council has granted this request to the Calabash PTO in the past; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion via Zoom at a properly noticed virtual meeting under SB-411 voted to recommend to the full Board passage and funding of the attached NPG; and\, \nTHEREFORE\, The Education Committee\, moves-requests that the WHWCNC full board (1.) Approve the attached Calabash PTO NPG for $3000.00 and direct the treasurer to submit the NPG and supporting documentation to the City Clerk for funding; and (2.) Rally our Area-7 Board Members\, Outreach and Community Services Committees to help provide table items and booth support at the April 13th event and encourage many of our board members to sign up for volunteer time. \nYES: Julie Waltrip\, Heath Kline\, Shelly Schwartz\, Allan Biggins.

The $5\,000 will be taken from Outreach line item in the revised budget. The Community Outreach Committee voted in favor on February 26\, 2024. \nBecause of a daily maximum charge of $1\,000 on the WHWCNC credit card\, and because each item is custom manufactured to order\, which may result in multiple items shipping on the same date and/or all different dates\, which may result in the need for the treasurer to obtain temporary daily spending limit increase(s) from the City Clerk. In addition\, depending on when items ship on this order\, combined with NCs other normal credit card spending\, the treasurer may need to seek an override to the $5\,000 monthly spending limit on the NC credit card from the City Clerk. To facilitate working with the City Clerk on any needed overrides\, the order will be divided and placed as follows: \n\n2\,000 WHWCNC 3”x3” Branded Sticky Pads up to $1\,000 ($0.39 each + tax & shipping) $937.71\n550 Green WHWCNC Branded Value Grocery Totes up to $1\,000 ($1.21 each + $50 set-up\, tax & shipping) $980.48\n1\,000 WHWCNC Branded Hand Fans up to $775 ($0.56 + $65 set-up\, tax & shipping) $747.46\n650 WHWCNC Branded Sunglasses up to $1\,000 ($1.25 each + $20 set-up\, tax & shipping) $953.61\n825 WHWCNC Branded Power Clips up to $950 ($0.86 each + $55 set-up\, tax & shipping $917.38\n\nPASS: YES: 5 NO: 0 ABSTAIN: 0 TOTAL: 5 \nYES: Tracey Rosen\, Harout Aristakessian\, Joyce Fletcher\, Masha Dowell\, Steve Sommers \nSee posted support document                                                                                                 Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 6 \nDena Weiss\, President \n(24-032) Motion to Approve up to $2\,500 to purchase WHWCNC T Shirts \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $2\,250 for 100 screen printed WHWCNC navy\, and 10 screen printed WHWCNC green  t-shirts AND 36 embroidered WHWCNC branded Polo Shirts from Outreach line item in revised budget.

DONE has informed the WHWCNC that our current annual Zoom license is up for renewal in April\, and going forward DONE will no longer cover this cost for NCs. \nWith the passage SB-411\, NCs once again have the option to meet 100% remotely and invite public participation using Zoom (that was quite effective for this NC during the COVID health emergency) and NCs have options\, with restrictions\, under SB-411and AB-2449 to conduct hybrid-remote and in person meetings with public participation using Zoom\, that this NC has voted to do\, and our full board has done using borrowed equipment at a successful test in December. Recently committees of the NC have conducted successful 100% remote meeting using our Zoom license. \nPrior to COVID the WHWCNC has occasions to have multiple committees meet at the same time in person. However\, had scheduling difficulties and conflicts during COVID with only one Zoom licensee to share-use. Zoom has also been used by board members to carry out their collaborative implementation duties efficiently. \nTHEREFORE\, the NC treasurer is directed to (a.) Renew the NC’s expiring Zoom license at an annual cost of $200.00; and (b.) obtain a second Zoom License at an annual cost of $200.00 through DONE. The treasurer is directed to complete any necessary documentation with the City Clerk and DONE to facilitate the transfer of NC funds to DONE to cover these annual Zoom license costs. \nThese reoccurring NC operating expenses are to be expensed under the Office/Operation Expenditures [OOE] budget category. The treasurer is directed to create a new Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS budget line under OEE \nThe governance committee passed this motion unanimously. [5 Yes]. \nYes: Weiss\, Rosen\, Kline\, DiBiase\, Patterson.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (8) \nHeath Kline\, Treasurer \n(24-034) Budget Reallocation Motion to support new funding approved in Agenda items 3-7 (24-029 through 24-033) above \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \n  \nTo facilitate the spending authorized in the proceeding March motions Items 2-7 (24-029 through 24-033) increases are required to the Outreach and Neighborhood Purpose Grant [NPG] Budget Categories\, that can come from unspent funds available in the Community Improvement Project [CIP] Budget Category. \n  \nTherefore\, the Treasurer is directed to (a.) decrease the CIP Budget Category from $4\,000 to $3\,000 a change of ($1\,000.00); and (b.) increase the NPG Budget Category from $7\,700 to $7\,800 a change of $100.00; and (c.) increase the Outreach Budget Bategory from $16\,050 to $16\,950 a change of $900.00. \n  \nIn addition\, the Treasurer is directed to make the follow changes within Budget Categories: \n  \nIn the Office/Operational Expenditures [OOE] Budget Category (a) decrease by ($400.00) the budget line Email and Web Hosting and Support changing it from 3\,000.00 to 2\,600.00; and (b.) create a new budget line Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS; and (c.) provide it with a budget of $400.00. \n  \nThe treasurer should make the following changes of importance to our NC’s internal budget and expense tracking\, (but not the City Clerk who only recognizes budget line details in categories other than OEE when a BAC is submitted): \n  \nIn the NPG Budget Category give a $3\,000 budget for the Friends of Calabash NPG budget line. \n  \nIn the CIP Budget Category set the Education Project budget line to $0 (The Education Committee has no plans for a CIP this FY.) \n  \nIn the OUTREACH Budget Category give the necessary budget line funding to the March expenditures; (a.)

Calvert Street\, Woodland Hills CA 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                 (10 minutes) \n  \nThe applicant is proposing to subdivide an RA-1 zoned lot into 2 lots  creating a flag lot on the rear of the property.  Applicant is also requesting a Zoning Administrator adjustment regarding under width access stem at the midpoint of the rear lot. \n  \nMOTION \nAs pertaining to Cases AA-2023-6519-PMLA and ZA-2023-6534-ZAA\, having held 1 public \nPLUM in person meeting for the application to permit subdivision of the parcel at 22840 \nCalvert St. Woodland Hills\, into two lots\, creating a flag lot in the rear\, in an RA-1 zone\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment to allow 20 ft. lot width\, at the midpoint of the proposed rear lot\, in lieu of the required 70 ft. minimum lot width\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, based on the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, the proposed lot split does not involve a parcel landlocked by topography; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, shows 2 lots conforming to zoning regulations for minimum area.  However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant intends to construct two (2) single family dwellings\, totaling 10\,720 sqft. on the property; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the            potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres  RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots\, hidden from the street\, tend to promote neighborhood disturbances and criminal activity; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant presented no justification that will allow the Zoning Administrator to take away rights from adjacent property owners without rezoning the property\, and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, especially on the three properties adjoining the project site\, and the immediate neighborhood over stressed by 3 existing pre-2006 flag lots within 500 feet of the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating another nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\, \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility \nCommittee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 22840 Calvert Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width \nnonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications presented to the WHWCNC Board on 1-10-2024. \n  \nVote at PLUM Committee: \nMotion: Henry Rice\, Second Joyce Fletcher: Aye 7\, Nay zero\, Abstain one. \n  \nSee supporting document                                                                                                       Roll Call Vote \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Joyce Fletcher \n(24-007) Funding Request – WHWCNC Outreach/Promotional Items \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                   (5 minutes) \nMotion for the board to approve funding up to $2\,500.00 from the 2023-2024 Budget – Community Services \nCommittee fund ($1\,000.00) and the General Outreach fund ($1\,500.00) for the purchase of outreach promotional \nitems for use at various WHWCNC events. At this time the WHWCNC has depleted its supply of outreach promotional items. \nThe next major event will be the Grateful Hearts event held on April 6\, 2024 at Warner Park.

The event is free and open to all. Many local agencies will be present. Families of students from all of Woodland Hills neighboring schools (elementary to high school) in LAUSD’s Region North are invited to attend. A mix of both Spanish and English-speaking families are expected. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion over a couple meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. \nTherefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also with their vote\, please say whether or not you will be able to come as a volunteer to work a shift at the booth that day. The Outreach Committee would need to provide items to pass out at the booth as well. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nSee flyer in supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (10) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-010) Motion to Approve the training credential request for Stakeholder Allan Biggins \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas The Education & Youth Committee appointed Allan Biggins to Stakeholder status on the Education Committee by unanimous vote in November. Then in December\, he was unanimously vetted and determined to be qualified and eligible to be seated to the Area 5 Alternate position at the Governance Committee meeting. Stakeholder and soon-to-be board member Allan Biggins needs to be given his login and password credentials to access his required training so that he can receive his voting privileges with no more delay. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving Allan Biggins’ invaluable input in many discussions over several meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also welcome him to the board as soon as possible. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (11) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-011) Motion to Approve Remote Committee Meetings \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                  (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas\, the Education and Youth Committee has discovered that having the option to meet remotely via Zoom could increase both attendance and productivity. Furthermore\, Zoom allows for recording of the committee meeting to distribute/post it as public record. Since committee members already have all the equipment needed to conduct Zoom meetings on their personal devices\, then all that’s needed are login credentials for Zoom. \nOur Education Committee members\, our stakeholders and our grant applicants subscribe to a 9-month school calendar\, so during school holidays and break times\, we especially want to meet virtually to make quorum and maximize the productivity of the committee’s projects despite schools being closed. Then\, while school is in session\, many of our committee participants are educators who taught students all day with little bandwidth leftover to come to an in-person meeting during the weeknights and would be much more inclined to join our meeting via zoom. \nTogether\, we discovered with December’s full board meeting that having the option to meet hybrid enabled our grant applicant to present her NPG virtually via Zoom despite being unable to attend the meeting in person. Her NPG was successfully funded and paid within 1 week of her online appearance to the physical board. \nThe Education Committee’s hope is that the full board’s passage of this motion could pave the way for each chair to gather their committee either in person\, hybrid or virtually depending on the needs of their committee at the time. With your Yes vote\, you are giving committee chairs the OPTION to meet virtually via Zoom right away. This benefits not only the Education Committee but also all other committees of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. Whereas\, The Education Committee\, after discussions already voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board approve this motion. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote \nJulie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Tracey Rosen\, Chair \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                 (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Julian Tu\, Paul Lawler\, Peter Haber\, Masha Dowell \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen\, Harout Z.

and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project adheres to all of the requirements of the Downtown District of the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan without requesting variances or exemptions except those granted under State laws; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the building will provide 276 residential units\, with at least 21 units offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates set by the State\, as well as 4\,045 SF of commercial space as required in a mixed-use structure in the WC Downtown District;

\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that for the findings and recommendations stated herein\, that application and plans submitted by Toll Brothers for its application for a mixed-use\, VLI residential building at 6464 Canoga Avenue in Warner Center receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC). \n  \nWe also propose that the Board of the Woodland Hills –Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendations to SUPPORT this motion presented on November 8\, 2023. \n  \nSee posted report                                                                                                                              Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPLUM\, Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Chairs \n(23-073) Toll Brothers Apartment Development \n6464 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                              (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion related to a specific request for the installation of a dog park / dog bathroom area to be included in the proposed project\, Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Avenue Woodland Hills 91367 as the development allows residents to have dogs. \n  \nRE: Letter per Community Dog Park / Dog Bathroom Area \nToll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 \nThe Los Angeles Development Review Process provides an overview of the entire development process\, describes what circumstances will trigger a particular review process\, and provides the chronological processes that must be completed before proceeding to further reviews. \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council provides recommendations related to the City of Los Angeles policies\, standards\, and regulations on land use\, property development and construction review which are designed to help ensure the health\, safety\, and welfare of its citizens\, while protecting the rights and privileges of property owners. \nAt certain times the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council may feel the need to weigh in on a particular component within a development in an effort to better serve the health\, safety and welfare of its citizens. \nTherefore\, as pertaining to the installation of a dog park / pet bathroom area at development Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367\, a new mixed use 8 story building at the corner of Canoga Ave. and Victory Blvd. in the Downtown District of Warner Center with 276 residential units and 4\,045 sf of retail space with 27 or 28 units) offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates which are set by the State. \nWhereas\, the project will provide amenities including Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS)\, 11\,679 SF (15% of site area) as required. And the project proposes 11\,940 SF—mostly along Victory Blvd and a meandering walkway park-let along Canoga Ave. Two large furnished outdoor patios will be provided for resident use only\, and \nWhereas\, the developer plans to provide a dog washing station for resident use and the developer also plans to allow resident dogs to use the Victory Blvd. public right of way located in front of the dog washing station for use by resident dogs\, as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, this public right of way is not fenced and therefore this could be a hazard to cars and both dogs and residents who may try to use it as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, as the LA DOT has future plans to widen Victory Blvd. and will use the right of way for street widening\, and \nWhereas\, Victory Blvd. is a busy street with no fences\, and fencing could provide a danger to a car and driver should an automobile accident occur\, and \nWhereas\, the public right of way is generally not an appropriate location for a dog bathroom area as it would be dangerous for animals and residents\, and \nWhereas\, establishing a specified safe dog park/ dog bathroom area also works to reduce pet waste issues in a community by centralizing dog deposits in one designated area\, which is a win for everyone. \nTherefore\, the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends the following: \n\na)     The developer provides an enclosed dog bathroom area on the project’s Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS) as the project allows residents to have dogs.\nb)      The developer identifies an area situated on the southeast side of the project and/or preferably towards the back of the community easily accessible to all residents. Dog parks / dog bathroom areas do not necessarily have to be large nor located on perfectly flat areas and can occupy a piece of land in the community that is not suitable for other uses due to a slope or rough terrain.\nd)      Use of decomposed granite could be used as it is extremely durable\, requires minimal upkeep and is more environmentally friendly.\n\nSpecially designed artificial turfs for pet bathroom areas are also available. \n  \nWHEREAS the above letter is concurrent with the PLUM Committee recommendation for the proposed project: \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the statements stated herein\, recommends that this PLUM Letter regarding a dog park/pet bathroom area located at Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 receive approval of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent supporting recommendation. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Chris Waddy and Tracey Rosen\, Co-Chairs \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                             (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Paul Lawler \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Julie Waltrip\, Theresa Campbell \nArea 6 –Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Lillian / Joyce Fletcher \nAdjournment of Meeting \n  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held in person on December 13\, 2023\, once more at the Firestation # 84\,  unless otherwise indicated.

The agreement with the requirements attached must be submitted to the Department of City Planning for approval before being recorded; and\, \n21)       The applicant shall provide an ABC compliant barrier around the outside patio to separate the patio from persons in the parking lot. \n  \nWHEREAS the above conditions follow the proposed requirements for the current Restaurant Beverage Program. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the statements stated herein\, recommends that this PLUM Motion regarding the CUB Conditional Use Permit application submitted on behalf of restaurant Pascal Patisserie located at 21040-C Victory Blvd – Unit 40C\, receive support of the Board of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nFURTHER\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent recommendation to support this application as presented on October 11\, 2023 \n  \nSee posted  Support document                                                                                   Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 4 \nPLUM\, Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Chairs \n(23-061) AA-2023-2925-PMLA; ZA-2023-2926-ZAA; ENV-2023-2927-CE \n23139 Collins Street\, Woodland Hills CA 91367 \nFor discussion and action:                                                                                         (10 minutes) \n  \nThe applicant is proposing to subdivide an RA-1 zoned lot into 2 lots  creating a flag lot on the rear of the property.  Applicant is also requesting a Zoning Administrator adjustment regarding under width access stem at the midpoint of the rear lot. \n  \nMOTION \nAs pertaining to Cases AA-2023-2925-PMLA and ZA-2023-2926-ZAA\, having held 1 public PLUM in person meeting for the application to permit subdivision of the parcel at 23139 Collins St. Woodland Hills\, into two lots\, creating a flag lot in the rear\, in an RA-1 zone\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment to allow 20 ft. lot width\, at the midpoint of the proposed rear lot\, in lieu of the required 70 ft. minimum lot width\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \n\nWHEREAS\, based on the Preliminary Parcel Map\, dated 4/20/23\, provided by the applicant as part of the application\, the proposed lot split does not involve a parcel landlocked by topography; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Preliminary Parcel Map\, dated 4/20/23\, provided by the applicant as part of the application\, shows 2 lots conforming to zoning regulations for square footage. However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications\, and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, and especially on the five properties adjoining the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating an nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, a title search for the property reveals a Grant Deed that restricts\n\nfurther subdivision of the property without written permission of the Grantors; and\, \n\nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 23139 Collins Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width nonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications as presented to the WHWCNC Board on Oct. 11\, 2023. \n  \nItem No. 5 \n  \nPublic Safety and Transportation\, Rachel Tabak\, Chair \n(23-062) Motion to Support Recommendations Proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nTraffic safety has long been a concern on State Highway 27 / Topanga Canyon Blvd.  While traffic studies and piecemeal safety improvements have been proposed and/or implemented by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Warner Center Neighborhood Protection Plan Committee (a subcommittee of the Warner Center 2035 Plan Implementation Board)\, many of proposals/implementation pause at Topanga Canyon Blvd. because it falls under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). \n  \nCouncilmember Blumenfield’s Office – specifically the Councilmember’s Legislative Director Jeff Jacobberger\, and Woodland Hills Field Deputy/Land Use Planning Deputy Seth Samuels – have been working with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, State Senator Henry Stern’s Office\, and State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel’s Office to coordinate a meeting with Caltrans to review and (hopefully) implement the proposed traffic safety improvements on Topanga Canyon Blvd. \n  \nWE\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, THEREFORE MOVE to bolster the following recommendations proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans: \n  \nGeneral Requests: \n\nReassess the need for\, and hours of\, peak hour lanes.\n\n\n\n\nPeak-hour lanes in both directions in both AM and PM? Do they need to run from 7a-10a and then again from 3p-7p? Do we need them on Saturdays? If parking was allowed from 9a-4p (instead of 10a-3p) and on Saturdays\, would that help the businesses on Topanga Canyon Blvd? Caltrans and/or LADOT should have traffic counts to help make this determination.\n\n\n\n\nChange the parking time limit from 1 hour to 2 hours.\n\n\n\n\n1 hour is way too short. It discourages people from parking there; less people parking means that the curb lane becomes a raceway even during the non-peak hours.\n\n\n\n\nUpgrade all curb ramps to fully ADA-compliant ramps; and repair all broken sidewalks\nPlant lots of street trees\n\n\n\n\nThere is a need to reassess the species of trees that are planted in the public right-of-way\n\n\n\n\nRelocate Metro Line 150 and LADOT bus stops as needed.\nTaking TCB Out of the State Highway Network (at least a portion of it)\n\nLocation-Specific Requests: \n\nat Sherman Way: There is a short gap in the Sherman Way bike lanes at Topanga Canyon Blvd.\nat Gault: signalize the crosswalk at OLV Catholic Church and potentially install a mid-block refuge island.\nat Hart/Bell Creek: the City’s long-range plan calls for creating biking/walk paths on all our waterways\, including Bell Creek\, so it may make sense to add a signalized ped/bike crossing.\nat Vanowen: it does not look like the sidewalk on the west side of TCB alongside the AT&T Building is ADA-compliant.\n\n\n\n\nGet an access agreement from AT&T if needed and create a minimum 5 foot-wide sidewalk along this section.\n\n\n\n\nb/w Oxnard St. / Burbank Blvd.: in the southbound direction (at least on weekends)\, people race down the curb peak hour lane from Oxnard\, and then have to cut in because there are always cars parked once you get closer to Burbank.\n\nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \n(23-063)  Motion to approve $2\,000 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for the West Valley Food Pantry \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $2.000 for a Neighborhood Purpose grant for the West Valley Food Pantry .  The West Valley Food Pantry currently feeds approximately 700 families a week. Due to inflationary costs of food\, housing\, utilities\, medication\, and numerous other expenses\, its numbers are on the rise. As it endeavors to feed the hungry in our community\, it has asked the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council for financial support to help it do just that. The money received from this grant would go directly to the purchase of food and necessities for its seniors\, families with school age children\, and the homeless. The funding will come from the NPG line item as approved by the board in the 2023-2023 Administrative Packet. \nFor further information see: \n  \nhttps://www.westvalleyfoodpantry.org The West Valley Food Pantry works to end hunger in the San Fernando Valley.

The program currently serves over 900 students. The Foundation provides college students with direct food supplies\, housing support\, as well as other resources such as scholarships as needed by individual students. The foundation is assisting the Brahma Bodega as it provides a store shopping experience for its students within the campus bodega.
