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. ABSTAIN: Reina Cerros McCaughey. \n[4-YES\, 1-ABSTAIN] \nSee Calabash NPG (17 pages) included supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. 4 \nTracey Rosen\, Chair of Outreach Committee \n(24-030) Motion to Approve up to $275 for Printing Rack Cards \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $275 from the Outreach Events budget for the printing of 1\,000 Rack Cards by Minute Man Press in Woodland Hills\, or another local printer\, to be distributed at Community Events to promote the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and educate Stakeholders about our activities. The Community Outreach Committee voted in favor on February 26\, 2024 \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. 5 \nTracey Rosen\, Chair of Outreach Committee \n(24-031) Motion to Approve up to $5\,000 to purchase Promotional Items \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $5\,000 to purchase promotional items from Outreach budget line item in revised budget 4Imprint to be distributed at Community Events where the WHWCNC will be tabling. 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.) Minuteman Press Rack Cards $275\, (b.) 4Imprint $5\,000\, (c.)T-Shirt Guy $2\,500 and change the previous existing budget line details as follows; (d.) Social Media $0\, (e.)Warner Center News $0\, (f) Website Hosting $19.99\, Website Webmaster $0\, General Outreach $174.01. \n  \nThe Board approves and authorizes all the budget changes outlined above and directs the treasurer to file this updated budget with the City Clerk\, as required\, and use this updated budget going forward. \n  \nThe Board and public can see all the above changes\, and March proposed spending motions (shown in blue)\, as well as all our YTD spending activities on the “Draft Reallocation Budget MOTION  3/13/24 Item 8 (24-034)” spread sheet PDF document included in the March support documents.                           \n  \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (9) \nDena Weiss\, Chair of Governance \n(24-035) Motion to Approve Changes to Bylaws \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                              (20 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve updates and revisions to Bylaws for the WHWCNC.

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 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.

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.

They were asked to investigate any possible funding sources from the City and State. Without additional funding\, the Committee was asked to fund the project from any unspent money in the WHWCNC budget. Ad-hoc members were chosen from the committees who would be using the equipment the most and their familiarity with this type of technology outside of the Neighborhood Council system. The ad-hoc Committee submits the following recommendation for discussion and possible action: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council approves the purchase of equivalent products for the following from amazon.com or alternative vendors at no more than 5% above the approximate cost provided here (maximum $13\,700)\, which includes sales tax. [Budget Category: Office/Operational Expenses $13\,700.00]. The Treasurer and AdHoc Committee members are directed to work with the City Clerk’s Office to arrange daily credit increases to facilitate timely equipment purchases within the current Fiscal Year using the NC credit card. \n3          OWL 3 Systems                                                                 $3\,346.00 \n1          OWL 3 System with microphone extension                     $1\,422.00 \n4          OWL 3 Tripods                                                                    $653.00 \n1          Whiteboard OWL ($656) Canceled until viable                      $0.00 \n4          Travel cases for OWL 3 Systems                                         $263.00 \n4          OWL 3 Lock Adapters                                                         $215.00 \n2          Double-packed 15ft USB-C to USB-C Monitor Cord           $87.00 \n2          Double-packed HDMI Male to female Adapters                   $33.00 \n1          15 ft HDMI Cable                                                                   $14.00 \n1          10 ft HDMI-Micro HDMI cable                                             $10.00 \n2          Optoma 4200 lumens Digital Projector                             $3\,393.00 \n2          MacBook Air M2 8 GB/256 GB                                       $2\,626.00 \n2          Mobile Projector Screen                                                       $132.00 \n2          Computer Cases                                                                      $88.00 \n2          Projector Cases                                                                       $88.00 \n2          Double Packed 25ft HDMI High-Speed Cable                    $132.00 \n2          Bluetooth Rechargeable Receiver                                        $130.00 \n3          Tripod Projector Stands                                                        $165.00 \n1          Four-pack of Black Gaffer tape 40yd                                     $36.00 \n2          25-ft Flat-plug Power Extension Cord                                   $66.00 \n2          USB-C to dual HDM adapters                                                $56.00 \n1          Yellow Gaffer tape 30 yds                                                      $22.00 \n1          Blue Gaffer tape                                                                     $22.00 \n2          10ft Thunderbolt USB-C Cable                                              $42.00 \n1          25ft Outdoor Power Extension Cable                                     $21.00 \nTotal with expected sales tax                                                                                           13\,051.00 \nNC Meeting Owl Demonstration Zoom Call with People You Know \n  \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/Evmx1V0N7dnLeHAPTbZwE9gDCfycrbbwA6DNlaQoBhDtfVrsakdxEi0OqfNvO3Ge.dT9WOKLNV_CD7igO \n  \nWatch this 12-minute video to see the technology trial of the Owl labs hybrid meeting equipment on a Zoom call with members of the Ad hoc Hybrid Meetings Technology Committee and our DONE NEA Marilu Guevra (In this configuration what our committee meetings will look like.): \nSee It All in 360 \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xQfSaN1n14 \n  \nThe Manufacture’s video is divided into 4 sections. \n  \nFor purposes of evaluating and approving a technology solution for the NC\, please watch chapters 1 and 3. \nTime 0:00-28:10.    Chapter 1 introduces\, explains\, and demonstrate how the basic Meeting Owl 3 technology works and can be used to make a hybrid meeting work and be user friendly to the remote participants. \nTime 28:10-57:20.   Chapter 2 is not essential to watch for purposes of our NC use cases \, but if your day job involves managing people or working remotely in a hybrid work environment\, we recommend watching chapter 2 for your own personal development. \nTime 57:20-1;27:00.   Chapter 3 continues where chapter 1 leaves off\, going into more details of how the Owl Technology works\, covering the basic Meeting Owl 3 core device\, and then the available Owl accessories like the Expansion Microphone-mute device\, presenter mode\, (White Board Camera-white board mode- cool technology but not our current use case)\, pairing and using multiple (2) meeting Owls to extend the coverage area for larger meetings) the Meeting HQ (Owl hardware negating the need to connect to a host laptop\, not necessary for our use cases-ignore). \nTime 1;27:00-1;56:00.   Chapter 4 is a Nerd discussion with the two Owl founders\, about their backgrounds and the development of the product.

The presenter does a great job of demonstrating how the Meeting Owl effectively covers a large number of in person meeting attendees engaged active discussions. The presenter also shows how the Meeting Owl can be put in “Presenter Mode” to stay focused on and track a single presenter\, even as they move around the room. Next the presenter shows how you can set up a [variable size] “Ignore Zone” so the Owls won’t pick up video and sound from an area in the room [in the case of a full board meeting the public audience]. In the last two minutes of the video the presenter articulately talks about how the Owl delivers a simple but excellent hybrid experience to those participating in-person and those participating remotely over Zoom delivering equity access to all! \nDetails of Equipment To Be Purchased \n  \nTo learn more about the individual items on the equipment purchase lists you can click on each of the three AMAZON shopping list (organized by general function) and from there you can click on the induvial items for specific products information: \nWHWCNC Owl Labs Hybrid Meeting Equipment & Accessories https://a.co/j1D4ITk \nWHWCNC Computer & Projector List https://a.co/5q7tpU9 \nWHWCNC AV Supplies: https://a.co/eo9Oo79 \n                                                                                                                                                Roll Call Vote \nItem No. 9\nMihran Kalaydjian\, Vice Chair & Acting Presiding Officer\, Paul Lawler Treasurer & Ad hoc Virtual Hybrid Meetings Committee\n(23-043) \nAnnual May End of FY Budget Reallocation Motion \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                                      (20 minutes) \nA Motion is put forward to free up expected unspent WHWCNC funds in budget categories and move them to categories where the funds can be spent to benefit the board’s purpose and its stakeholders before the spending cutoff for the current Fiscal Year in June. This action serves as a preliminary foundation for creating the subsequent FY 2023/2024 budget allocations that must be passed in June to ensure funding will be available to us in July without interruption. \nA Motion directing the following Board actions: \n1)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $300 on refreshments for the Board meetings. This affects Office/Operational Category (General Office). \n2)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend $250 for an agreement and $50 per meeting fee for the use of the West Valley – Warner Center Chamber of Commerce facilities with the expectation of reapproving the action for the next budget. This affects Office/Operational Category (Meeting Space Rental). \n3)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $2\,000 for Website support from Moore Business Solutions\, separate from another approval to spend $1\,000 not fully used yet. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach-Website Support). \n4)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend up to $500 for supplies for neighborhood cleanup if they were not provided by Council District 3 since no expenditures have occurred. This affects Office/Operational Category (Committees). \n5)   Revocation of the prior authorization to spend $50 on Halloween candy that was never purchased. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach-Committees). \n6)   Reduction to $800 of the prior Board authorization for the Outreach Committee to spend up to $6\,500 for specified activities\, such as website and printing\, since the Outreach Committee cannot implement all the planned changes and incur the associated costs in this FY. Therefore\, it will spend less this Fiscal Year and will need to spend more next FY to implement all the planned improvements. This is separate from another authorization to spend $3\,000 on promotional items. This affects Office/Operational Category (Outreach). \nIn summary\, this motion reallocates to the spending categories in the 2022/2023 Budget as follows for the fiscal year ending June 30\, 2023. All recurring expenses and any completed expenditures are accounted for\, along with any actions not separately mentioned. \nSupplementatl Information:\n\nThe total allocation of funds for 2022/2023 provided by the City was $35\,368.48. \nApproximately $19\,090\, or 54% of the budget\, is now allocated for (A-i) Office/Operational\, of which up to $13\,050 plus up to 5% overage for price increases or need to substitute equivalent products is for the Hybrid Meeting System\, including the sales tax. \nApproximately $15\,130\, or 34% of the budget\, is now allocated for (A-ii) Outreach\, which includes $6\,550 that went for in-person events\, including Valley Disaster Fair\, Valley Asian Cultural Festival\, One Generation\, Woodland Hills Academy\, and Concerts in the Park. \n$750\, or 2.1% of the budget\, is allocated to the charge balance of renting the site for voting for (A-iii) Elections. The charge is $900\, for which the City Clerk only pays $150. \nAccording to the April MER\, the previously adopted budget was $21\,000 for these subcategories. The new allocation is $32\,050\, or 90.6% of the budget. \n$3\,000\, or 8.5% of the budget\, is allocated for (B) Neighborhood Purpose Grants for New Friends Homeless Center and Friends of Calabash School. \nBased on the April MER\, the previously adopted NPG budget was $6\,000. This is reduced to $3\,000 (actual spending) due to recategorizing some NPG funding into the Outreach Category. \nBased on the April MER\, the previously adopted (C) Community Improvement Projects initial allocation was $5\,000\, and because no projects have been proposed\, it is now reduced to $0. \nThis leaves an unallocated balance of up to $800\, or about 2% of the budget\, which will go toward a rollover if allowed. \nItem No. 12\nHomeless Committee\, Aaron Quantz and Reina Cerros- M Chairs\n(22-044) \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                                      (7 minutes)\n\nOrganize a board member volunteer day at New Friends Homeless Center.

No. 2022 NC  22-117Agenda item #11].  At the next meeting of the Board on January 11\, 2023\, the Board President and Chair of the full Board meeting Dena Weiss announced she was in receipt of public comments from stakeholders who said they will be affected by the proposed project but were not informed of the board’s earlier than normal meeting date and therefore missed the opportunity to provide their input to the board before it acted. In addition\, the Board received the same information from Stakeholders during public comment. \nIn response to this information\, in accordance with the NC’s Bylaws and City Procedure August Steurer\, the original passed motion maker and prevailing side voter\, made a motion to the Chair to have this motion placed on the agenda for reconsideration.

(5)  & (6) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(23-007 & 23-008) Two Board CISs \nThe WHIP committee brings before the full Board of the WHWCNC the following two motions asking for the NC to go on record in support of the City of Los Angeles seeking modification to the California Ralph M Brown Public Meetings Act to allow Neighborhood Councils to continue to meet virtually as they were able to do under AB361 during the COVID health emergency and to meet in a hybrid virtual-in-person method that may be within a NC’s abilities in the future\, that they are not able to do under the now controlling California AB2449 regulations. \nWHIP brings these motions to the Board after extended review of the City’s CF position and CIS responses filed by other NCs\, and public input on the CF. Plus WHIP’s own extensive discussion over two meetings including extended public comment received by the committee. \nTo facilitate understanding of the motions and Board and public comment discussion of the topics please review the following two PDF documents that are posted with this agenda: \nCF-23-0002-S16 Amend Brown Act Martinez.pdf \nCF-23-0002-S17 Amend Brown Act Blumenefield.pdf \n  \nItem No. (5) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(23-007) Board CIS regarding City Council File 23-0002-S16  (just) Los Angeles Neighborhood Council System / Virtual Remote Meetings / Ralph M.

Likewise\, imposing impractical\, if not impossible\, standards for individual NC Board members\, such as not recognizing travel for “business” as an acceptable reason to participate remotely or the requirements to be on camera and only miss two in-person meetings annually (Should those requirements disqualify a businessperson or breastfeeding mother from serving on an NC Board?) in addition to budget and technology limitations; and \n  \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS the City Council action and the Mayor’s concurrence in Council File 23-0002-S16. \nSee posted support document                                                                                                Roll Call Vote \nItem No. (6) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(23-008) Board CIS regarding City Council File 23-0002-S17 Local Legislative Bodies (including NCs) Hybrid & Virtual Meetings  / Ralph M.

Our and other NCs benefit from participants who find themselves outside the boundaries of their NC\, ranging from a few miles to temporary travel out-of-state and even out of the country\, creating more equity and fostering the vitality of our local communities and democracy; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, in-person meetings may jeopardize the health and safety of vulnerable Angelenos due to ongoing exposure to COVID-19 and other personal health situations\, such as being immunocompromised; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, it is not realistic or financially viable to expect the all-volunteer Neighborhood Council system to be able to carry out “hybrid” meetings as permitted under AB 2449 effectively due to the limitations imposed on the NC Board as a whole\, such as a requirement to establish a quorum in person in a publicly accessible ADA compliant facility within the boundaries of the NC when no such venue may be available to the NC. Likewise\, imposing impractical\, if not impossible\, standards for individual NC board members\, such as not recognizing travel for “business” as an acceptable reason to participate remotely or the requirements to be on camera and only miss two in-person meetings annually (Should those requirements disqualify a businessperson or breastfeeding mother from serving on an NC Board?) in addition to budget and technology limitations; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, how the Brown Act applies to the broader City Boards and Commissions remains to be looked at by our Neighborhood Council\, and while we currently approve the resolution\, we reserve the right to make further comment on Council File 23-0002-S17 and how it affects in-person and virtual meetings of City Boards and Commissions other than Neighborhood Councils; and \n  \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS the City Council action and the Mayor’s concurrence in Council File 23-0002-S17. \nSee posted support document                                                                                     Roll Call Vote \nItem No. (7)  Dena Weiss\, President  \n(23-009) WHWCNC Budget Reallocation  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                               (15 minutes) \nDiscussion of the 2022-2023 Budget and possible reallocation of line items. \nSee posted support document                                                                                                    Roll Call Vote \nItem No. (8) Houtan Hormozian and Rachelle Tabak\, Chairs of Public Safety Committee \n(23-010)  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                   (15 minutes) \nBudget request from line-item Community Services budget for $500 for booth space at the West Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair on February 25\, 2023.

The proposed design will mitigate any adverse visual impacts and blend with the design of the underlying building. (See attached simulations.) \n  \nPLUM Motion \nThe Planning Land Use and Mobility committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC)\, having held one remote meeting via ZOOM on the proposed AT&T Mobility Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 16 panel antennas\, 48 RRUs\, and equipment cabinets behind screening on an existing rooftop; and \n  \nWHEREAS: Existing service is insufficient to meet existing demand by customers in the West Valley due to overloaded existing facilities resulting in interrupted service\, dropped calls\, or complete denial of service inside nearby neighborhood retail centers; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The LAMC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to grant Conditional Uses\, allows conditional use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility has satisfied the conditions of LAMC Sections 12.24 and 11.5.7 that allow for the installation of wireless facilities in R3-1 Zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The location meets the minimum distances to habitable structures required by the FCC. The antennas will be painted matte in a non-reflective color to match the existing transmission tower where they will be installed. The proposed antennas meet setback requirements from all abutting streets\, residential uses\, and all zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility emissions are regulated by the FCC to ensure public safety standards based on peer-reviewed scientific studies\, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, Federal Drug Administration (FDA)\, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a AT&T Mobility WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to AT&T Mobility for a new WTF; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The site is of adequate size\, shape\, topography\, location\, and access to utilities to accommodate the proposed wireless facility in that all setbacks are met\, and it has access to power and telephone connections; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The use and development will be compatible with the intended character of the area and are similar to other rooftop approvals elsewhere in the City; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC\, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\, and the CPUC\, governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable laws. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by AT&T Mobility for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Motion Picture & Television Fund\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\, receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested actions.

Expansion over the State allowed 6 patients is not by-right under State Law\, and approval is solely at the discretion of the City of Los Angeles. At three (3) WHWCNC PLUM Committee presentations\, neighbors spoke about numerous problems currently emanating from this facility and causing issues in the neighborhood\, and aired concerns that doubling the number of patients in the current facility without expanding staff or protections put the community at risk. The Applicant was asked—and agreed—to hold in-persons meetings with the neighbors and discuss the issues and any possible remedies. No meeting(s) occurred in the 3 months after the request was made and agreed-to by the Applicant. \n  \n  \nPLUM Motion \nAs pertaining to Cases ZA-2022-1090-ZV-ZAA and ENV-2022-2091-CE\, having held three (3) public virtual teleconference PLUM meetings for the application filed by Aaron Barsalou\, the applicant/owner of Psyclarity Health\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has been operating a by-right 6-bed Residential Detox Program at the 22450 Collins Street location under State License No.191055AP since August 2020\, treating substance abuse patients: and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant is now requesting a Zone Variance to permit increasing the by-right\, 6 bed licensed Residential Detox Program on the RE11-1 zoned parcel at 22450 Collins Street\, to a 12-bed Program\, that is not covered by the State statute\,  by doubling up in the existing rooms; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has stated does not plan to increase staff levels\, add oversight personnel or make any modifications to the existing structure to accommodate the requested increased client count; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the LAPD has reported that during the period of September 2021 to September 2022 there were a total of 9 police/emergency calls (an average of 1 every 40 days) for service at the facility;

and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Applicant agreed to hold meetings with neighbors to see if issues could be worked out\, but failed to hold even one such meeting over a three month period; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the PLUM Committee members question whether the existing staff level will be sufficient to prevent occupants from leaving the facility alone and roaming on the local streets; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant plans to increase on-site parking capacity from 4 to 8 spaces by adding 4 new parking spaces and 10 bicycle spaces in the open back yard space of the property to comply with the required minimum of 9 parking spaces\, thus negating the need for a Zone Variance; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a Zoning Administrator Determination is being requested to address an existing reduced side yard setback of 5’6” to 8’ in lieu of the minimum required setback of 10’ for institutions and centers like this;

Even though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to the airport and the City of Los Angeles and additional jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate our regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nWoodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Statement of Impact on Community \nVan Nuys Airport (VNY) has grown to rank as one of the world’s busiest general aviation airports. It is one of two airports owned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)–including Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Its location in the center of the San Fernando Valley had been a significant departure and arrival point for legions of small private and corporate prop aircraft for decades. But year after year\, it has seen many small single-engine aircraft users replaced by newer\, bigger\, and noisier corporate jet aircraft. And\, during Covid\, VNY traffic increased\, and operations expanded\, providing private air traffic an alternative to LAX. That has substantially increased the volume of air traffic over densely populated Valley communities. \nEven though the airport’s growth has brought financial gain to VNY and the City of Los Angeles and more jobs for Angelenos\, it comes at a real cost to San Fernando Valley residents. Increased noise\, pollution\, and air traffic complicate regional efforts to address environmental justice concerns and our climate crisis. \nThe airport system operates under the direction of a policy-making Board of Airport Commissioners [BOAC] appointed by the Mayor of Los Angeles. In 1985\, the Los Angeles City Council established the Van Nuys Airport Citizens Advisory Council [CAC] for community examination and input around all aspects of general aviation operations\, facilities development\, and land utilization at and around the airport. But during the recent Covid crisis\, the perceived urgency facilitated an easy way for VNY to bypass the Van Nuys CAC and other advisory bodies\, to ignore their input and process\, and just submit project proposals directly to the BOAC. \nDue to the circumvention of the Van Nuys CAC\,  year-over-year after-hours operations at VNY have increased by 40.24%–directly impacting nearby residents with additional noise\, pollution\, and traffic. Overall\, FAA traffic control and after-hours operations have risen 40.06% since 2017. \nThis moment is critical for the City of Los Angeles when transparency and credibility are needed to restore public trust. As such\, LA City Council Members from Valley District 3\, District 2\, and District 4 created Motion #22-1489 that mandates input from the Van Nuys Airport CAC and sets clear standards of community outreach from the Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) regarding updates made to the Van Nuys Airport. Additionally\, the Councilmember for the LAX area supports the motion. \nAs such\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council must endorse this City Council action and encourage our City Councilman\, Bob Blumenfield\, to continue his vigilance over increasing noise\, pollution\, and air traffic impacts on the residents and businesses of Council District 3. \nTherefore: \nWHEREAS\, the residents\, businesses\, and property owners of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center area\, as do all other VNY impacted communities deserve a meaningful opportunity for input about any proposed changes and projects under consideration by VNY and evaluation by the BOAC; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City of Los Angeles has chartered the Van Nuys Airport CAC with providing stakeholder input and outreach that VNY and the BOAC must in good faith adhere to; and \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC desires to completely support the actions of City Council Motion #22-1489 and urge the Council President that it be brought out of Committee to the Council floor for a complete vote of the LA City Council as swiftly as possible; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies (WHIP) Committee recommends the Woodland Hills – Warner Neighborhood Council Board accept this Impact Statement as its own and request the Los Angeles City Council to enact the actions in Motion #22-1489 with swift and immediate enforcement. \nFURTHERMORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies Committee recommends that WHWCNC Board President Dena Weiss send a letter with this statement to all the active members of the City Council for immediate action\, as well as the BOAC and Mayor Bass. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (13) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-119) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-0407. Neighborhood Council / Standardize Election Rules / Stakeholder Participation \nDiscussion and Possible Action: Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee. \n                                                                                                                                                                       (10 minutes) \nCommunity Impact Statement: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] strongly encourages the City Council to require the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to submit a supplemental report-back responding to City Council requests in City Council File 21-0407. Further input from experienced Neighborhood Council Board Members\, which improves upon the report’s initial conclusions\, should better serve as the basis for City Council decisions. \nThe WHWCNC Board bases this advice on the knowledge that fellow Neighborhood Councils [NCs] report the report-back from EmpowerLA\, submitted to City Council on 10/14/2022\, contains factual errors when compared to raw elections data available on EmpowerLA.org. The Department’s limited attention to detail and awareness of statistics concerns the WHWCNC Board. Consequently\, our NC expects that the City Council will not rely on the 10/14/2022 report for making changes to the regulation of NC Elections. However\, further study is essential\, especially regarding self-affirmation. \nThe WHWCNC Board is highly concerned that self-affirmation by potential voters will become mandated by the City. The founders of this NC crafted the structure of WHWCNC to minimize the possibility of an organization’s takeover of the Board to follow its self-serving agenda. Our NC structure depends on recognizing\, preserving\, and promoting our seven distinct sub-communities of interest areas within our NC boundaries and having representatives of three types to encourage diversity of viewpoints and interests. Unfortunately\, the feared takeover-attempt situation has occurred more than once. Yet\, those attempts failed more than once\, primarily due to the Board’s structure. Self-affirmation allows voters to jump to other areas to tilt election outcomes fraudulently. Implementing voter self-affirmation removes the safeguards upon which honest elections and the Board structure depend. Self-affirmation is only appropriate when there is no distinction in standing for Board seats. \nIn recent years\, voter fraud has become an intense topic in America. Voter validation improves confidence in elections. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council notes that Neighborhood Councils that required voter validation\, like WHWCNC\, had higher voter turnout and more vote-by mail ballots returned and counted despite them being a smaller percentage of the councils having an election in 2021. WHWCNC believes voter validation minimizes the risk of fraudulent board takeovers. \nWhile Empower LA may make recommendations\, our Board emphasizes that Neighborhood Councils are independent under the City Charter. Therefore\, any amendments to their bylaws regarding voter qualifications cannot be made by the City Council or other entity\, only by each Neighborhood Council. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee unanimously recommends adoption of the above CI Statement by the WHWCNC and posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all City Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (14) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-120) Board CIS regarding City Council Files 21-1472\, 22-1196\, 22-1197 and 23-0002-S1 pertaining to creating new Council Redistricting Commission Rules and Increasing the Number  of Council Districts. \nDiscussion and Possible Action: Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee. \n                                                                                                                                                                       (10 minutes) \nCommunity Impact Statement Summary: \nSince the origination of LA’s city council system\, there have been 15 council districts. At the time\, there were 200\,000 people in the City of LA\, with about 13\,300 persons per district. That number is multiplied twenty times to over 3.85 million people today. Each Council District in Los Angeles has more people than the Cities of Burbank and Pasadena combined. There is scant evidence that this consolidation of power in such populated Districts is good for the residents and voters of LA. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council wholeheartedly supports bringing Charter Reform Ballot Initiatives to the voters before 2024. These would increase and tie Council district sizes to population\, expand the City Council to provide more representation to our communities and remove Councilmembers and elected officials from redistricting. \nWHIP Drafted CIS For Board Consideration \nThe WHIP Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] resolve and send the following WHIP statement of community impact as its own. The CIS supports calling for City Charter ballot measures on the expansion of the number of Council Districts and a new impartial Redistricting process to redistrict Los Angeles in time for the 2024 election cycle: \nCouncil File 21-1472 \nNovember 2022 Ballot / Ballot Measure / City Charter Amendment / Independent Redistricting Commission \nCouncil File 23-0002-S1 \nIndependent Redistricting Process / New Commission / New Redistricting Maps / City of Los Angeles / April 2023 Special Election \nCouncil File 22-1196  \nCharter Reform Ballot Initiative / 2024 / Redistricting Process / Los Angeles City Council Seats / Representation Fixed to Population Growth \n  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the creation of an independent redistricting commission.  It is a necessary and overdue step for the City Council and Los Angeles Unified School Board Districts.  During the 2021 redistricting process\, many Neighborhood Councils had to expend significant energy and time to fight for their neighborhood in a polarized and politicized process.  It is time for Los Angeles to catch up to California and Los Angeles County\, which already have independent redistricting commissions. \nWe propose adding restrictions for applicant qualifications excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the City’s work from serving on the Commission.  We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, any recent candidate for a City of LA elected office\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates. \nThe Redistricting process must follow a set of rank-ordered criteria to create new districts: \n\nPopulation Equality: Districts must comply with the U.S. Constitution’s requirement of “one person\, one vote.”\nFederal Voting Rights Act: Districts must ensure an equal opportunity for minorities to elect a candidate of their choice\nGeographic Contiguity: All areas within a district must connect as an undivided whole\, except for the particular case of islands\nGeographic Integrity: Without violating previous criteria\, Districts shall minimize the division of Neighborhood Councils before minimizing the division of communities of interest to the extent feasible. Communities of interest are secondary to neighborhood councils. They must be a contiguous population sharing common social and economic interests that justify inclusion within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.\nGeographic Compactness: To the extent practicable\, and where this does not conflict with previous criteria\, districts must not bypass nearby communities for more distant communities of interest. Communities of interest cannot be considered broader than 7 miles.\nTo the extent practicable\, Districts should not cross watersheds.\nDrawing Districts shall not consider any effects on incumbents\, office candidates\, or political parties.\n\n  \nThe City Council districts are currently too large to govern each area well. They have created an environment leading to opportunities for corruption by concentrating so much power in so few hands. A fifth of our City Council Members coming under indictment in the last decade is a strong indicator of opportunities for corruption. We also strongly believe in the expansion of the City Council’s size. \nIt is simply impossible for 15 Council Members to govern 4 million people appropriately.  Each City Council Member is supposed to represent over a quarter million residents.  For comparison\, in New York City (8.4 million people\, 51 council districts)\, each council district represents approximately 160\,000-170\,000 people.  In Chicago (2.71 million people\, 50 wards)\, each alderperson represents about 54\,000 people. The City of Fresno has a Council Member per 112\,000 persons. We favor getting to somewhere in the middle. \nWe support a ballot measure to establish a new City Council\, having one Council Member per 110\,000 residents to the nearest whole number of Council Districts and expanding the number of Council Districts as the population increases. \nServing as Commission Co-chairs\, two retired Superior Court Judges put forth by the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court shall select the Commission from a pool of about 80 candidates nominated across the City. At least one judge shall live in the City of Los Angeles. \nTo establish the pool of candidates\, each Los Angeles Neighborhood Council may nominate at least one and up to 3 candidates at the rate of one per 50\,000 in population to the nearest whole number\, ideally resulting in selecting about 1 out of 5 candidates to the Redistricting Commission of 17 members plus the two Co-chairs. \nWe support ballot measures to increase the number of Council Districts and establish new redistricting procedures. They should appear on the same ballot. When voters pass one or both ballot measures as proposed\, the City Council must immediately initiate the redistricting process to complete new redistricting in time for the 2024 election cycle. \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (15) WHIP Chair\, Heath Kline\n(22-121) CIS regarding City Council File 14-0425-S13- 18477 West Sherman Way | \nReseda Theatre Restoration Project \nDiscussion and Possible Action: A Motion to adopt the following CIS from the WHIP Committee passed unanimously. \n(10 minutes) \nPosition: Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] opposes City Council adoption of actions in Council File 14-0425-S13 unless amended and not before adequately reaching out to the Reseda community and satisfactorily receiving and addressing their comments and concerns. \nThe revitalization of the Reseda Theater has been a dream of the Reseda Community for over two decades. The community supported bundling the theater project with a senior housing project\, which promised to revitalize the theater years ago. \nThroughout the years\, the Reseda Neighborhood Council [RNC] requested updates regarding the progress of the theater. RNC asserts that City entities never promptly informed the community regarding the proposed transfer and severance of Reseda Theater Senior Housing LP into two corporate entities\, Reseda Theater and Public Market LP. \nIn public records\, RNC discovered that the developer filed incorporation documents in May 2021 that set the groundwork for using two corporate entities. In addition\, these records show that over 18 months\, the developer and the City failed to inform the Reseda community of potential changes. \nThe WHWCNC and local community have likewise experienced similar lapses in communicating promptly with the impacted stakeholders and us. This results in the perception of concealment of City development activities and creates the perception of backroom dealings in our shared Council District on development projects impacting our local communities. We remember the handling of the expansion of the West Valley Food Pantry. There was also the acquisition of properties across from Taft High School with public funds to be operated by a non-profit to provide homeless housing and services to targeted groups. Unfortunately\, details on these projects\, and more\, only come post-approval of projects by the City or until it is too late for the community to adequately weigh in with input before the City determines its decisions. This lack of communication continually happens despite numerous requests from the public for timely transparency on projects in CD3 that will have an enormous impact on our community and our stakeholders. Thus\, WHWCNC feels it is our responsibility to join the RNC in calling out the inadequate and delinquent sharing of necessary information regarding development projects in Council District 3 that results when bypassing Neighborhood Councils and not informing or gathering community input. \nCommunity input matters. Because Reseda stakeholders were not informed of the proposed changes and denied the opportunity to weigh in on serious concerns while the project was still in the planning stages\, the perception of backroom deals continues. Inadequate timely transparency has plagued the Los Angeles City Council and City operating departments for years. By way of examples\, we refer to the ways that LA City Council handled its own redistricting and that of LAUSD last cycle\, where community and NC input fell on deaf ears. We also see similarities in the handling of the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter and the Van Nuys Airport [VNY]\, in which City departments bypassed steps for informing the public and getting necessary responses from affected stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils (see our CISs regarding Council Files 22-0897 and 22-1489). \nThe City of Los Angeles provides financing for this project with tax dollars. RNC’s understandable concern is that this request for ownership transfer from one corporate owner to two is a possible ploy on the developer’s part to keep the successfully operating housing project and escape their contractual obligations to restore and revitalize the Reseda Theater as promised to the community. \nTherefore\, the WHWCNC requests the City Council defer acting on Council File 14-0425-S13 until after the City informs the stakeholders of Reseda on the reasons for and the possible implications of the changes proposed. The City and developers must objectively show the community that the proposed changes in ownership structure and any other pending changes will in no way jeopardize the restoration of the theater as promised. After educating the community and RNC on the impact of the pending changes\, they should have the opportunity to provide robust feedback. Then the City and developer should consider the community’s thoughtful input. Waiting for community education and assessing their responses means the property transfer from Reseda Theater Senior Housing\, LP\, to Reseda Theater and Public Market LP must be delayed and possibly denied unless the community is assured of project completion with the proposed changes. \nSincerely\, \nWoodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nDistribution: The WHIP Committee recommends Posting the CIS to the Council CIS Portal to the relevant Council Files and all Council Members. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\, Philip Swain\nArea 3 –Mark Ball\, John Sandy Campbell\, Annmarie Donkin \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Gretchen Gesell\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Aaron Williams\, Houtan Hormozian\, Christine Robinson\nAt-Large –August Steurer\, Bobby Wasserman\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Rachel Tabak and Houtan Hormozian\, co-chairs \nCommunity Outreach and Social Media Committee – August Steurer and Bobbie Wasserman\, co-chairs\nEducation Committee –Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair \nSafety Committee – Houtan Hormozian and Rachel Tabak\, co-chairs\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc Committee – Flight Path and Noise Advisory Committee – Martin Lipkin\, Chair \n  \nAnnouncements: \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held on January 11\, 2023\, by teleconference.
