Our area ranks first in crime increase\, in the Los Angeles area in most categories.  Woodland Hills is a peaceful area of the San Fernando Valley where families come and settle and to safely work and raise their children. It is concerning that there has been 10 homicides so far this  year in our area. This is twice as many  as in 2020 (100% increase)  and 4 more than in 2021 (67% increase). Overall total violent crimes are up 16% since 2020 and 26% since 2021. Property crimes also have risen. \n  \nFor such a dramatic increase in overall crime\, there must be a dramatic reaction and solution. \n  \nWoodland Hills Warner-Center Neighborhood Counsel requests request that the City and its officials responsible maximize allocation of officers and resources to the Topanga division. Additional officer deployment and allocation is crucial in an area of Los Angeles where crime is skyrocketing\, and the residents are fearful. The consequence of inaction will be preventable loss of life and property. \n  \nVery truly yours\, \nConcerned Citizens of Woodland Hills Warner Center through its Neighborhood Council. \n  \nSee attachment of Topanga Area Crime Profile from 9-11-22 through 10-8-22. \n  \nRoll call vote \nItem No. (10) Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee [PLUM] – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-101) Conditional Use Permit – Wireless\, Case No. ZA-2022-4017\, ENV-2022-4018\, Conditional Use – Wireless LALAX04022B\, 11/03/2022. \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (15 minutes) \nApplication for a Conditional Use Permit for an array of wireless antennas and a wireless telecommunications facility to be located at 21859 W.

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: DISH RF 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: DISH Wireless analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a DISH WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, and telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to DISH Wireless 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: DISH Wireless 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\, BE IT RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by DISH Wireless for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Warner Center Marriott located at 21850 W.

Additionally\, the Applicant has suggested that they would return to PLUM or the WHWCNC Board as a courtesy with landscape plans and any changes to the design once the permitting process has commenced. \n  \n\nAll plans presented November 9\, 2022 at the Board of the WHWCNC shall be dated as such and\, upon revision of the revised plan package reflecting the Revised Site Plan included herein\, shall be re-submitted to Planning as an (updated) project plan application submittal.\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support.\nThe Applicant will place a project sign on the project under construction which is clearly visible to the street showing a rendering of the proposed/approved project building(s)\, plus specifics as to the size (number of units)\, ownership and contact information.\nAdditionally\, all “requests” herein shall be printed on one of the Project Summary pages.\nAppropriate liquor licenses shall be obtained for the restaurant\, bar areas and all other areas where liquor will be served.

Spring St.\, Room 361 \nLos Angeles\, CA 90012 \nRe: Support for Adopt-a-Median Application re Yellow Bike Project \nDear Mr. Valido: \nThis letter is to express the support of the WHWCNC for the Adopt-A-Median project proposed at 5520 De Soto Avenue in Woodland Hills. \nOn April 1\, 2018\, 15-year-old Sebastian Montero\, a resident of Tarzana was killed when he was hit by a motorist while riding his bicycle at De Soto Avenue and Burbank Boulevard. The community and the Montero family would like to memorialize this tragic loss by erecting a marker at the site of the accident. This memorial consists of a 16′ pole topped with a sculpture of a bicycle and a placard with Sebastian’s name\, the date of the collision\, the reminder “Streets Are For Everyone” (S.A.F.E) and the hashtag #SafetyMatters. \nThe design of the sculpture has been approved by LADOT as visually safe for passing motorists and the structure of the sculpture has been engineered to safety standards. The installation will be performed by the artist\, Scott Froschauer\, and maintenance of the sculpture will be overseen by S.A.F.E.\, a bicycle safety advocacy nonprofit in conjunction with the artist. The location where the memorial is proposed is within the jurisdiction of Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and we support this project. \nSee attached photo \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (13) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-104) Community Impact Statement RE: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades CIS CF 22-1146 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSummary CF 22-1146: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for putting forth this much-needed motion. Circumstances require attention due to the revelation that CISs submitted via the DONE CIS portal to specific city departments\, commissions\, and committees have not arrived at their destination. The proper functioning of this Portal for submitting Community Impact Statements is essential to the function of the Neighborhood Council System. \nWe heartily support the actions requested in CF22-1146\, which requires: “that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal\, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted\, the length of time the errors were present in the system\, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal\, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils\, and the steps taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future.” We caution the City Council that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment previously engaged in deceptive and diversionary practices with Neighborhood Councils when replying to requests like the City Council’s questions. Please see attached complete CIS. \nMotion: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1146: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for making this much-needed motion. Circumstances require immediate attention due to the revelation that CISs submitted via the DONE CIS portal to specific city departments\, commissions\, and committees have not arrived at their destination. The proper functioning of this Portal for submitting Community Impact Statements is essential to the function of the Neighborhood Council System. \nWe heartily support the actions requested in CF 22-1146\, which requires: “that the City Council instruct the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to report back in 45 days on the status of the Community Impact Statement Portal\, including the issues that led to numerous Community Impact Statements not being transmitted\, the length of time the errors were present in the system\, the list of the City Commissions that were impacted by not having the correct email configurations on the portal\, the number of Community Impact Statements that were not transmitted as intended by the Neighborhood Councils\, and the steps taken to remedy the issue and prevent this from happening again in the future.” We caution the City Council that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment previously engaged in deceptive and diversionary practices with Neighborhood Councils when replying to requests like the City Council’s questions. \nWe also support the additional actions requested\, which require the following: \nThe City Council instructs the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, with the assistance of the Information Technology Agency\, to report back in 45 days on the necessary technological upgrades needed to the Community Impact Statement Portal to ensure that the Community Impact Statement submissions are as seamless and streamlined as possible; furthermore\, ensure that technical issues of this sort will not arise in the future. \nCurrently\, the CIS Portal appears inconsistent and “glitchy\,” preventing submissions. At the same time\, this causes frustration and doubt with the designated NC submitters\, who cannot tell if their actions are the problem or if the CIS Portal Page is the problem. The primary problem experienced relates to the submittal of PDFs. If there is proper maintenance and upgrades\, this should not happen. A newly designed CIS portal page should use current industry best practices for layout and back-end processing; for example work without the use of pop-up windows and should work seamlessly with current Chrome\, Edge\, Fire Fox and Safari browsers. The submission site should allow for drag and drop or navigating to and selecting attachment files. \nWhile we applaud this measure\, we request the reassurance that needed technological upgrades\, if any\, be integrated into the new citywide technology plan. Optionally\, we also request consideration of the transference of the DONE CIS maintenance responsibilities to the City Clerk’s office. \nAs an additional safeguard\, we propose that all Neighborhood Councils receive an automated alert when an email from the current NC CIS system bounces back to the server until the review above is completed and reviewed by the City Council.” \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (14) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-105) Community Impact Statement RE: Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSupplemental Reference Material: Ethics Commission File (Charter Sec 700 Ethics Reforms) \nCouncil File Number CF 22-1232: \nSummary: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we ask for the following amending actions. \n\nGenuine Independent Appointments\nMore Restrictive Eligibility Requirements\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner\nIncreased maximum penalty\nIncrease the minimum commission budget\nIndependent outside counsel for the Commission\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1232 : Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \nWHWCNC Position: Support If Amended \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we give the following amending actions required below. \nThe City of Los Angeles’ Ethics Commission was once a model for the nation over three decades ago.

The city must immediately start the work necessary to put a Charter Reform proposal on a near-future ballot. \nHowever\, you must not rush this work and waive it out of committee as a convenient answer to the ever-continuing scandals at City Hall. It deserves a full and fair hearing in committee with robust public involvement and discussion\, including Neighborhood Councils. \nThe Ethics Commission’s recommendations broadly reflect input it received regarding the empowerment of the body to enforce the law\, meaningfully change policy\, and change the power dynamics at City Hall. \nHowever\, we believe they fail to enhance the Commission’s independence sufficiently. We still see the opportunity for elected officials to strong-arm commissioners and meddle with the enforcement actions and policy proposals of the Ethics Commission in the same way elected officials manipulated the Redistricting Commission when those officials were not getting what they wanted. \nWe recommend the following specific amendments: \n\nIndependent Appointment: The City of LA cannot have a genuinely independent Ethics Commission until there is no involvement of elected officials in the member appointment process. The incumbent commissioners should be responsible for accepting and vetting applications through a public process.\nEligibility Requirements: The Commission proposes adding restrictions excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the city’s work from serving on the Commission.  These restrictions are warranted but incomplete. We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, a recent candidate for the City of LA\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates.\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner: The Commission recommends increasing the number of elected officials who may initiate removal and reducing the threshold to a majority vote. Due to the presence of “tribal” factions in the City Council\, removal should require action by a supermajority of the City Council\, so we recommend requiring a 2/3rds vote for all proceedings removing Ethics Commissioners.\nIncreased maximum penalty: The Commission recommends increasing the administrative penalty to $10k per violation.  We recommend adopting Chicago’s maximum fine of $20k indexed to inflation per violation.\nRaise minimum budget: The Commission recommends their budget be set at $4.5 million and tied to CPI.  While this would protect against retaliation or defunding during a financial crunch\, this essentially freezes the status quo into the charter. If the City Council expands\, ethics will require more money. The budgeted minimum must be indexed for growth in the number of elected officials and separately indexed for the number of employees. $4.5 million is only a few hundred thousand above the Commission’s current budget.\nIndependent outside counsel: Realistically the City Attorney cannot serve multiple masters in these matters. The Commission’s recommendations include new expenditures\, like having independent outside counsel\, which is essential for good governance. These new additions will require even more money. A minimum budget of $7-10 million to be indexed for inflation would start the Commission with the resources needed to fulfill its broad mandate.\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nWe appreciate your immediate attention to this topic\, \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (15) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-106) Community Impact Statement RE: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \n  \nDiscussion and Possible Action:                                                                    (10 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File Numbers CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: \nSummary: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo. Their behavior would never be tolerated at the Neighborhood Council level. Neighborhood Council members must adhere to a Code of Conduct and take Anti-Bias training as part of our service. Unfortunately\, it appears that a double standard exists for members of the City Council. This Neighborhood Council demands the immediate resignations of Councilmembers de León and Cedillo so the City can begin trusting and respecting City leaders. \n  \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \nWHWCNC Position: Support \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Martinez\, de Leon\, and Cedillo. \nThe behavior evidenced by Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo would never be tolerated at the Neighborhood Council level. Neighborhood Council members must adhere to a Code of Conduct and take Anti-Bias training as part of our service. We believe the City Councilmembers should lead with their behavior rather than become a national mockery. The rules around our decorum and training are clear. Equally clear is the double standard that exists for members of the City Council. Were Neighborhood Council members to behave similarly\, we would face censure\, removal\, and dismissal by our board\, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners. Indeed\, they removed elected NC board members from Neighborhood Councils for far less egregious violations than what we are sickened to have heard from these disgraced city and union leaders. \nOur City of LA is a rich amalgamation of residents of global origins. In 2022\, we don’t expect to hear explicit recordings of literal bigotry\, recordings of the leaders of City Hall participating in offensive rhetoric against numerous cultures\, races\, ethnicities\, religions\, and sexual identities while discussing gerrymandering based on race and socioeconomic status\, and backroom deals to keep themselves in power. \nThis Neighborhood Council demands the immediate resignations of Councilmembers de León and Cedillo so the City can begin trusting and respecting City leaders. \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \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\nArea 3 – John Sandy Campbell \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – None\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Houtan Hormozian\nAt-Large –None\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler – Chairs \nCommunity Services Committee / Safety – Dena Weiss\, Chair\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\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 December 14\, 2022\, by teleconference.

It appears that the Department is understaffed and lacks skilled managerial leadership\, and these shortcomings led to a profound breach of moral and fiduciary duty. \nIt is unfathomable how neither the Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW) nor the Mayor-appointed Board of Animal Services Commissioners gave any public indication of these problems. Instead\, they left it to a newspaper exposé [link to LAT] and volunteers’ honest\, heartbreaking words [link to ABC7] to make these conditions known to the broader public. \nNews media outlets have documented these conditions before\, including occupied animal living quarters overrun by rats [link to Newsweek] and flooding shelters [link to CF 19-1584]. \nNecessary actions must be taken to quickly and efficiently process into the system the many people who have applied to be volunteers\, including\, as necessary\, clerical staff being transferred to the Department to process backlogged applications. The City shelters’ substantial volunteer corps\, without which the shelters could not operate\, must be treated with the respect they deserve and given a formal seat at the table in current and future decision-making for the shelters and their procedures and operation. One option worth considering is the formation of a volunteers’ “Animal Services Advisory Committee\,” with representatives elected by the volunteers from each of the City’s shelters. \nVolunteers suspended or terminated for speaking to the media\, after bringing their concerns first to Department of Animal Services management and the Board of Animal Services Commissioners only to be ignored\, must be immediately reinstated. Terminating highly skilled volunteers who run shelter programs such as dog playgroups\, train other volunteers\, and walk the more challenging dogs further harms animals in the shelters. Retaliation against employee whistleblowers is illegal\, and reprisals against volunteers are equally wrong and erode trust in our City’s governance structures. Should the City be able to terminate a volunteer for engaging in good faith criticism of the City? Good governance depends upon the willingness of constituents to speak out without fear of retaliation. \nA complete and comprehensive audit should be undertaken by the City Controller of the Department of Animal Services\, including its volunteer program\, to analyze the Department’s needs\, budget\, staffing structure and numbers\, and the effectiveness of its expenditures. \nAdditionally\, the exorbitant $1.5 million contract with the marketing firm The Glue LLC should be immediately examined\, and the nature\, circumstances\, and expenditure on this contract should be investigated by the Controller for fraud\, waste\, and abuse.  The contract is currently delinquent\, and its costs are much higher than industry standards. This should include a review \nof the change in the terms of use [link to Ordinance 185617] of the Animal Welfare Trust Fund instituted in 2018\, which was approved by both the Animal Services Commission and the PAAW Committee. In FY 2021-2022\, 63% of all expenditures from the donor-funded Animal Welfare Trust Fund went to the Glue marketing contract (for services that have yet to be delivered) rather than the care of animals. Animal care is why people donate to and the purpose of this trust. \nContrary to the motion [link to CF 22-0943] introduced by Councilmember Koretz\, this is not simply a crisis of budgetary resources; it is a crisis of dubious priorities\, inept management\, and derelict and negligent oversight. For example\, the City has never adequately funded or enforced its spay and neuter policies\, which has directly contributed to the current overcrowding. Alongside these management issues\, however\, it is true that the City has chronically underfunded the Department of Animal Services and must henceforth budget appropriately for the needs of the animals. There is a clear need for the Department to have permanent independent\, neutral oversight\, such as from an ombudsman to whom issues of concern could be directed. This is especially the case given the Department’s substantial skilled Volunteer workforce. Often\, they are the first to recognize needed changes and need a communication channel free of retribution. \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly condemns the suspension or termination of Volunteers for speaking with the press or with Animal Services Department Management or Oversight Board about conditions in the City Animal Shelters or exercising their First Amendment rights. These suspensions and terminations should be investigated\, and all the Volunteers terminated for these reasons should be reinstated immediately. \nThe shelter system’s animals\, volunteers\, employees\, and taxpayers deserve the humane and ethical treatment that a better-run department would provide. The responsibility for delivering it falls to you and your appointees. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the Board of Animal Services\, Department of Animal Services GM\, the Mayor\, Members of the Los Angeles City Council\, staff of the City Council\, Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW)\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield’s staff. \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (6) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-090) Community Impact Statement RE: LADWP Ratepayer Impacts of LA100 Proposal \n& Necessary Public Outreach \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following motion: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] supports the Water and Power Associates letter of June 20\, 2022 [letter link]\, to the LA Department of Water & Power [LADWP] Board of Commissioners. \nThe WHWCNC strongly believes that all future rate increases projected under the LA100 Strategic Long-Term Resource Plan [presentation link]\, or come about because of\, for example\, but not limited to projected increases from increased use of water from the Metropolitan Water District [MWD] and their upstream providers and surcharges that these providers may be imposing on LADWP be communicated to its customers through the use of charts like those contained at the end of the Water and Power Associates letter [bottom of page 2] \nLADWP should expand its projected rate increase charts for water and electricity to show the projected rate increases for both Zone 1 and Zone 2 (high temperature-consumption allotment areas of the San Fernando Valley & East LA) [map link]\, ratepayers. Additionally\, LADWP charts should show customers under rate plans such as “Time of Use” or have dedicated meters-billing plans for EV charging or meters for outdoor water use. Charts should be available for any new rate plans offered. \nThe LADWP should maintain prominently on its website updates to the rate charts that show projected versus actual rate increases for the past five years. Projected versus actual billed rates should be explained. This information will allow customers to see trends and gauge for themselves the accuracy of LADWP rate projections and the reliance they should put on them. \nFurthermore\, the WHWCNC asks that the LADWP widely disseminate these updated tables showing projected rate increases in advance of future rate increases. LADWP should use billing inserts\, NC outreach\, email\, and text alerts\, social media\, and print and broadcast media campaigns in sufficient time for the public to provide input before rate increases take effect. Most importantly\, customers will be able to respond intelligently to the signals LADWP and the marketplace is sending them about their resource consumption\, savings\, and generation opportunities. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the LADWP Board of Commissioners\, DWP Management\, the LADWP Rate Payer Advocate\, the Mayor\, the LA City Council Energy\, Climate Change\, Environmental Justice and River Committee\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield\, and staffs of these bodies. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No (7) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-091) Taxpayer Funded Northeast Valley Animal Shelter RFP To Operate As a Private Rescue Organization Facility \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (10 minutes) \nWHEREAS\, The Northeast Valley Animal Shelter is a City facility built with Proposition F funds to be a municipal animal shelter\, open to the public.  It was not meant to be a private facility to house rescue organizations.  Nevertheless\, the Board of Animal Services Commissioners has issued an Request for Proposal [RFP] to do just that\, lease the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter to rescue organizations to operate; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, The Board of Animal Services Commissioners and Animal Services Department did not provide an opportunity for the affected Stakeholders and Neighborhood Councils [NCs] to provide input into this decision\, the Department of Animal Services and City Council should receive input from the affected Stakeholders and NCs before releasing the RFP for rescue organizations to operate the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Request for Proposal RFP was released without input from the affected Stakeholders and NCs; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City Council introduced a resolution (Council File 22-0897\, Koretz and Blumenfield) to amend the City Charter to require that the commission associated with any department contemplating the issuance of an RFP hold a public hearing or the department hold a public meeting\, to provide members of the public an opportunity to offer relevant ideas for consideration by the department prior to the drafting of the RFP; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the Animal Services Commission doesn’t appear to be doing anything to stop the RFP for the Northeast Valley Shelter; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council RESOLVE\, that the Board believes the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter should be a full-service municipal animal shelter as contemplated by Proposition F and that no action should be taken on the RFP until it is determined if this can be done. \nThe WHWCNC will so inform the Board of Animal Services\, Department of Animal Services GM\, the Mayor\, Members of the Los Angeles City Council\, staff of the City Council\, Personnel Audits and Animal Welfare Committee (PAAW)\, LA City Council Member Bob Blumenfield’s staff. \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\, Kathleen Barth\nArea 3 – John Sandy Campbell \nArea 4 – Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Don Patterson\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Vacant\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian\nAt-Large – Kathleen Barth\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services and Public Safety Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee – Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee – Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nSocial Media & Community Outreach Committee – Chair\, TBD\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 October 12\, 2022\, by teleconference.

It is clear the digital billboard sign proposal (just like the digital bus shelter sign proposal)\, is more about getting revenue with little public benefit\, at the expense of all the adverse impacts it will bring. The Board is opposed for the following reasons: \n\nThe digital billboard signs\, including commercial advertising and changing out every 8 seconds\, has potential to distract drivers in multiple ways\, whether it is glare\, brightness\, freeway messaging or catchy advertising changing every 8 seconds.\nIf drivers are not allowed to view smart phones while driving because of their distractive nature known to negatively affect safety\, then why should hundreds of distracting billboards that can be viewed by drivers (equally or more distracting as smart phones) be allowed to negatively affect public safety?\nThe potential risk of reduced public safety exceeds the potential public benefit.\nDigital billboard signs will do little to improve the flow of traffic on freeways\, if anything it will slow traffic down as does the current messaging signs\, many of which are unrelated to traffic\, such as “click it or ticket\,” etc.\nThe proposed digital billboard signage would be an exception to the City’s existing 2002 general ban on any new off-premises billboard signs (digital or static) as well as prohibiting the conversion of existing billboard signs to digital. The proposed exception will undermine the general billboard ban\, leading to new litigation that opens the door to a proliferation of digital billboard signs anywhere in the city. The billboard pandemic will not stop with just Metro owned properties.\nThe digital billboard signs will add more unnecessary light pollution to an already polluted night sky.\nThe Metro Transportation Communication Network (TCN) can be enhanced without the use of huge billboard signs.\nThe personal use of traffic and transit apps as well as parking apps are already doing the job when it comes to informing the public which best route to take\, etc.\nCity agreements could override Specific Plan limitations on signage.\n\nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council is strongly OPPOSED to actions sought CF 22-0392 permitting digital billboard signs as part of METRO’s TCN because it undermines the City’s hard-fought ban on off-site outdoor advertising. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board will notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Planning\, Land Use and Management Committee of its position to oppose the directive to amend City code to allow new digital billboards. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No (8) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-082) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 20-1536 \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee pertaining to Council File CF 20-1536 for the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP). \nWHIP 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 to not support proposed actions in CF 20-1536 for the substantive reasons stated: \nDear Board of Public Works/City Council\, \n  \nWe are writing to note concerns around the proposed Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program [STAP] plan\, as we don’t feel the Program as currently written aligns with what works in our community. We must oppose the pending STAP program until are concerns are satisfactorily addressed. Please see our concerns and questions below: \n  \nSafety of Digital Advertising \nIlluminated digital screens\, like televisions or smart phones\, can be hugely distracting to drivers\, especially if the ads are being changed every 8 seconds\, as proposed. Advertising is created to be distracting and catch eyes\, but that’s potentially deadly when someone is in a car passing by a bus stop. These ads will likely exacerbate the problem of driver distraction. Pedestrian fatalities are already a serious problem across Los Angeles– 2021 saw more pedestrian fatalities than any other year\, with 294 dying according to the LAPD. Among the leading causes of motor vehicle accidents\, driver distraction accounts for 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near crashes\, according to a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute [VTTI]. In 2010 alone\, distracted driving claimed the lives of 5\,474 people and injured another 448\,000.  A study by the Swedish Transport Authority found that digital billboards cause longer glance and dwell time\, but it was inconclusive on the effects of driver safety. \n  \nInformation Safety and Location Tracking \nGenerally digital ads track the cell phone data from those nearby in order to “retarget” them with additional advertising later. Information on a user’s location\, although anonymized\, is often sold on to 3rd parties so that other advertisers can target locally. Advertising targeting can also gain information about a person’s age\, gender\, income\, and more. The cußrrent Program offers no assurance that this data will not be shared with outside partners. \n  \nPlanet Money interviewed the CEO (O’Brien) of a digital billboard advertising agency who shared this information on why digital OOH (out-of-home) advertising is so popular. He said if you go up to the third floor of a mall\, they might know from your Google searches that you’ve been looking for shoes. They can then command the billboard on that floor to say shoes are 20% off at Macy’s. O’Brien says\, don’t worry – most of the data is anonymized\, unless you’ve opted in to share your data\, which sometimes just happens when you click agree on some terms and services agreement. At that point\, he can track you and target ads at you very personally. O’Brien is very excited about this. He says it leads to much more relevant ads. But me [the host of Planet Money] – not so much. \n  \nThere are possible fiscal consequences for LA due to fines. Since Los Angeles is a popular destination for tourists\, it’s worth noting that this practice violates European Union’s [EU] GDPR\, which applies to EU citizens when outside the EU: https://gdpr.eu/companies-outside-of-europe/. \n  \nRevenue Funds \nPast revenue from programs like the expiring street furniture program has been inadequate to serve our community’s needs. The share of gained revenue was miniscule compared to invaded privacy and the public visual nuisance created. How will the funding and profits from this Program help meet the needs of Woodland Hills-Warner Center and other Los Angeles communities in a meaningful manner? \n  \nIt is unclear whether these funds will be used to improve the infrastructure at bus stops\, assure existing stops are ADA accessible\, and fix streetscapes. All of these would help our neighborhood\, especially shaded bus stops in the excessive heat of the Valley. If bus stops are getting additional funding to install digital advertising\, improvements should also be made to the stop itself and ease of passenger use. \n  \nAt minimum\, we request that the funding estimates for the bus shelter program be made available prior to the contract being introduced to the Board of Public Works and Los Angeles City Council. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board is to notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield\, the Board of Public Works\, and Councilmembers of the Public Works Committee of the Board’s position to oppose the current actions being considered. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No (9) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-083) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 22-0736 \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee regarding diversion “High Value” projects directly to City Council as proposed in CF 22-0736. \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] adopt and send the following motion/community impact statement as its own to not support proposed actions in CF 22-0736 for the substantive reasons stated: \nRegarding City Council Motions related to High Value Projects (CF 22-0736) the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) reiterates its opposition as previously stated in its CIS for CF 20-1044 and requests that the City Council reconsider their decision to move evaluations of “High Value” projects directly to the full City Council instead of the City Council’s PLUM Committee for reasons stated below: \nWHEREAS\, while the WHWCNC fully appreciates the efforts to reduce corruption in its determinations\, the WHWCNC believe that bypassing the City Council’s Planning\, Land Use and Mobility (PLUM) Committee bypasses the last critical opportunity to fully vet and evaluate the most impactful projects in the City and their effects on the communities they intend to build in; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC believes circumventing the Council’s PLUM Committee could lead to increased corruption with less review; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC insists that these “High Value” projects provide the public many opportunities to comment on the significant impacts to their neighborhoods\, land values and traffic effects\, which we doubt can be accommodated by the full City Council; and\, \n  \n  \nWHEREAS\, the motion to expedite projects would have the effect of limiting public participation in the approval process by elimination of any hearing held by the City PLUM Committee\, since the pressing matters are of the City Council will curtail the amount of time for public participation now handled in meetings at the PLUM Committee stage; and \nWHEREAS\, the Planning Department Report has presented quantifiable determination as to exactly what constitutes a “High Value” project\, and questions whether the full City Council can dedicate the time\, staffing or depth of understanding to acquire a full understanding of all the significant issues that could/will significantly impact a neighborhood or community; and \nWHEREAS\, as the City has created insufficient barriers to the lawyers\, private planners\, lobbyists and other individuals in promoting a “High Value” project to Council Members\, thus creating the opportunity for even more City decision makers to be targets for corruption\, the City Council would be better off limiting the access of developers and lobbyists to Councilmembers for the purpose of influencing project determinations; and \nWHEREAS\, the City Council should make real efforts to create a true independent review of these “High Value” projects\, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars and affect the lifestyles and environment of hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles residents and businesses for multiple decades; \nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly urges the Los Angeles City Council to consider the following points for “High Value” projects and delay passage until the following are addressed for the benefit of the public: \n\nAlternative definitions of a “High Value” project be offered by City Planning\, for the public and the City Council\, that reflect “High Impact” since size does not always match impacts. Size should not be the only determinant.\nThe public should know in advance for transparency as to exactly which individual(s) using which requirements will have the authority to determine if a project is sent to the City PLUM Committee or sent directly to the full City Council for resolution.\nA solution is found that creates a greater timeframe and more generous appeal process for the public—and specifically for stakeholders in the neighborhood where the project is slated to be built—before the sitting City Council members make any final decisions.\nRequirements be developed to prohibit contact outside of public meetings between “High Value” applicants or their representative and the Members of the City Council or their staff.\nThe proposed “Policies and Procedures” undergoing review by the City Attorney must include and not limit opportunity for Neighborhood Councils to participate in project vetting.\nFor “High Value” projects\, Neighborhood Councils should be provided additional time to comment on projects due to the complexity of issues.\nNeighborhood Councils and the Public should be given additional time to comment after changes introduced within the meeting or since the last public meeting.\n\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the Los Angeles City Council\, the Los Angeles Planning Department\, and the City Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to perform greater outreach to the residents and business of the City of Los Angeles and to their elected Neighborhood Councils so that the constituents of this City can have a greater voice in the most significant projects impacting our surrounding environment and lifestyles. \nFURTHERMORE\, the Board will notify the City Clerk in a CIS and by email the City Council President\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Planning\, Land Use and Management Committee of its position to oppose the current actions being considered. \n  \n  \nItem No (10) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-084) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 11-1020S3 \n  \nDiscussion & Possible Action:                                                                       (15 minutes) \n  \nAgenda Item Summary: A Motion from WHIP Committee regarding redefined language that affects funding for the “Budget Advocates” organization by potentially limiting Neighborhood Councils to specify the organization receiving funds as proposed in. CF 11-1020-S3. \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] adopt and send the following motion/community impact statement\, as its own\, to not support proposed actions in CF 11-1020-S3 for the substantive reasons stated: \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council not support CF 11-1020-S3\, which seeks to alter names of funding accounts\, for the following substantive reasons. \nWHEREAS\, the current motion in Council File CF 11-1020-S3 contemplates changing the language from “Budget Advocates” to “budget advocacy;” \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council oppose the action in Council File CF 11-1020-S3 seeking to rename the funding accounts administered by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to be not as specific. The proposed action(s) could limit the ability of Neighborhood Councils to direct funds to be transferred for sole use by a specific recognized organization. Our Neighborhood Council needs the ability to transfer specific amounts of council funding to a specific organization instead of a fund that can be allocated to any organization without our Board’s input. The Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends amending CF 11-1020-S3 to allow Neighborhood Councils\, which donate to a fund — regardless of what it’s named\, to specify which organization or alliance is to benefit from those donations. \n  \nFURTHERMORE\, The Board notify the City Clerk in a CIS\, Board of Neighborhood Commissioners\, Councilmember Blumenfield and Councilmembers of the Budget and Finance Committee of the City Council. \n  \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\, Kathleen Barth\nArea 3 – Nancy McLean\, John Sandy Campbell\, Alex Farassati \nArea 4 – Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Don Patterson\, Rachel Tabak \nArea 5 – Peter Fletcher\, Tristin Estandiari\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian\, Logan Fisher\nAt-Large – Vacant\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler\, Chair \nCommunity Services and Public Safety Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee – Mihran Kalaydjian\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee – Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nSocial Media & Community Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nYouth Advisory Committee – Logan Fisher\, Chair \nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

Then when confronted\, the individuals admitted they were paid lobbyists for a non-profit lobbying organization. However\, the lobbyist failed to disclose that the 501(c) organization paying them received its funding from an industry trade association that has taken a position against widely accepted local\, state\, national and international standards. The WHIP Committee determined these widely accepted standards would be in the best interest of the Woodland Hills community and the City of Los Angeles. \nNOW\, THEREFORE\, the WHWCNC WHIP Committee strongly supports the Ethics Commission proposed changes to the Los Angeles Municipal Lobbying Ordinance together with the changes suggested in the Reseda NC filed CIS and the WHIP unanimously passed DRAFT CIS statement below. We ask WHWCNC to adopt this position and so inform city officials by filing the following Community Impact Statement and emailing copies as indicated: \nDRAFT CIS \nCouncil File 22-0560 \n(Municipal Lobbying Ordinance / Updates) \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] supports the changes recommended in the Report from City Ethics Commission to the municipal lobbying ordinance (MLO) regarding neighborhood councils [NCs]. We also request the consideration of changes to a few areas of the draft MLO that we believe will benefit transparency in all parts of city government. \nThis matter is extremely important to NCs because we are routinely disadvantaged and victimized by loopholes in the current MLO. Therefore\, we ask Council President Martinez to hold hearings on Council File 22-0560 and move the updated and improved MLO for adoption ASAP. \nUnder section 48.08.8 of the current lobbying ordinance\, a lobbyist disclosure is required only for written communications to NCs. We believe the MLO should be updated to include identical disclosure requirements when a lobbyist makes an oral presentation or public comment to an NC related to their lobbying efforts. Therefore\, we deeply agree with section 48.11 of the draft MLO under consideration. \nNCs continue to meet virtually due to COVID. It is anticipated virtual meetings will continue in some form even when/if the pandemic passes. Additionally\, under AB 361\, we are prohibited from requiring “speaker cards\,” which is where traditionally lobbying disclosures had happened on our council. While the WHWCNC can require disclosure for its meetings\, that disclosure has no teeth for enforcement as it is not an ordinance and does not address the other 98 NCs that similarly serve as elected advisory bodies to the city. \n  \n  \n  \nWe believe the lack of oral lobbyist disclosure requirement leaves many NC board members and attending members of the public at an information disadvantage that should be addressed for the following reasons: \n1) Transparency. We believe every voting member at a board meeting has the right to the knowledge if a lobbyist is speaking on an item for which they are compensated to lobby. \n2) Diffusion of responsibility. A lobbyist may send a correct written disclosure either via mail or email. Still\, often these communications do not go to every board member and attending members of the public. Unless the receiving board member is diligent in passing along these communications\, the possibility exists that other board members and members of the public following the discussion would not know of the lobbyist status of the individual speaking. \n3) Lack of training. NC members do not receive training on identifying or looking up lobbyist activities in the city through the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment. We believe the legal onus should be on the lobbyist to be as upfront and straightforward with the board\, and members of the public attending\, as possible. Additionally\, the responsibility is then on the paid lobbyist rather than the volunteer board member when it comes to the pursuit of this information. \nThe WHWCNC recommends similar verbal lobbying and paid representative disclosures for all city government meetings. Required disclosure announcements at these meetings could be made by the lobbyist or the presiding officer of the meeting. These disclosures would ensure the public is fully aware of the associations of all speakers who are paid lobbyists. NC members and members of the general public frequently listen to city government meetings or recordings of the meetings. Therefore\, we strongly feel that this minor addition would bring greater transparency to city processes. We urge the City Council to adopt this simple change. \nSuggested MLO Improvements. In addition\, the WHWCNC would like to suggest some additional changes that it believes will further improve the Municipal Lobbying Ordinance for the benefit of all levels of City government and members of the public: \n\nThe City Council should adopt a non-profit exemption of $200\,000 in revenue or $500\,000 in assets instead of the proposed $2\,000\,000. This change aligns with the IRS tax filing system and would allow any non-profit that files a 990-N or 990-EZ to gain exemption. This change also reflects the current San Francisco ethics ordinance. The current recommendation of $2 million in revenue is far too high and would exempt most non-profits in Southern California. Only 16% of Southern California non-profits have revenues above $1 million\, so an exemption set at twice that amount would adversely impact transparency.\nThe MLO should incorporate a provision requiring at the time of oral and written disclosures of a lobbyist\, representative\, member\, agent\, or employee of an IRC 501(c) (3)\, (4)\, (5) or (6) organization communicating with a City of LA entity a list of that organization’s “major donors.” “Major donor” is defined as contributing more than 5% of the annual funding to the organization during any 12 consecutive months during the preceding 48 months.\n\nEmbedded Links in the above document: \nhttps://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=22-0560 \nhttps://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2022/22-0560_misc_5-05-22.pdf \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) President\, Joyce Fletcher \n(22-074) Budget Request – LA Congress of Neighborhood Councils \n  \nDiscussion and possible action: \n  \nMotion for the board to approve funding for $500.00 from the 2022-2023 Budget to be a Silver Sponsor \nof the 2022 Los Angeles Congress of Neighborhood Councils to be held on Saturday\, September 24\, 2022 via zoom.

It received lengthy multi-round stakeholder and lobbyist comments and expert commentary on construction\, engineering\, building codes\, and building fire safety. Upon discussion\, WHIP\, by a unanimous vote\, recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) adopt the following Community Impact Statement as its own\, and submit it to Council File 19-0603\, the Los Angeles City Council Members\, the City Council PLUM Committee\, the LA Department of \n  \nBuilding and Safety\, the LA City Ethics Commission\, the LA Fire Department\, the Woodland Hills Homeowners Organization\, the Warner Center Association and the West Valley Chamber of Commerce. \nThis action joins with the Neighborhood Councils of Mission Hills\, South Robertson\, Hollywood United\, Encino\, North Westwood\, Los Feliz\, Central Hollywood\, Eagle Rock\, Reseda\, North Hollywood\,  Studio City\, Silverlake\, and Downtown Los Angeles plus the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance\, which have already passed motions opposing the impacts of Council File: 19–0603\, which includes an action to retain and expand of Fire District 1. \nPlease see the attached and posted (10) page motion.                               Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (9) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-049) Community Impact Statement (CIS) – Council File 21-1431 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (15 minutes) \n  \nCIS Supporting the City Councils efforts to clarify wording and intent to require a net increase in affordable housing units [AHU] beyond AHUs replaced when granting AHU incentives for a replacement building.  \nThe WHIP Committee submits the following CIS regarding support for the City Council’s action in Council File 21-1431 to clarify City Policy concerning how many affordable housing units are required for a project asking for incentives to get them to provide affordable residential units. Due to unclear drafting by the State legislature of two bills\, an interpretation by the City Attorney has contributed to City Departments not requiring developers to include as many affordable units as intended. WHIP asks the WHWCNC board to adopt the CIS as its own and send it to City officials as indicated. \n  \nSuppose a developer demolishes five (5) affordable residential units to create a new multi-family building. The law says these have to be replaced as affordable housing units. The developer also seeks incentives\, such as additional height or reduced setbacks if the developer provides some specified number of affordable housing units. Hypothetically\, in exchange for a taller building\, the project must provide three (3) affordable units to the project to add to the City’s stock of affordable units. \nCurrently\, the City Attorney’s interpretation allows the three required incentive units to count toward the required five replacement units\, so the developer only provides five affordable units. \n  \nThe intention of the separately enacted State laws is to replace 5 units demolished and incentivize adding 3 more affordable units to result in a total of 8 affordable units. \n  \nThis CIS supports a City Policy that would require the whole total number of affordable units along with other tenant protections as was intended\, so that there is a net gain in units from what previously existed. \n  \nCommunity Impact Statement               Council File: 21-1431 \n  \nSB 8 / Occupant Protection Provisions Extension / SB 330 Housing Preservation / California Government Code Section 66300 / Proposed Housing Development Projects / Application and Permit Process \nRegarding Council File 21-1431\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee finds that; \nWHEREAS\, Council File #21-1431\, carried by Councilmembers Bonin\, Raman\, and Harris-Dawson\, seeks to correct a wording error contained in SB 8\, effective January 1\, 2022; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the City Council adopted the HOUSING COMMITTEE REPORT on January 26\, 2022; and \n  \n  \nWHEREAS\, California Senate Bill 330 (SB330)\, “The Housing Crisis Act of 2019” (HCA)\, contains provisions that provide tenants protections for units that are “protected units” that low-income tenants occupy. These rental units are or were\, within the five years prior\, covenanted as rent-stabilized units\, subject to any form of rent or price control within the five (5) years past\, or that were withdrawn from rent or lease per the Ellis Act\, within the past ten (10) years; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB330 gives Occupants of Protected Units additional protections\, including the right of First Refusal in any new development; relocation benefits and replacement of units of comparable size and price for low-income tenants; and the ability to remain in their residential units until six (6) months before the commencement of construction of the new housing development; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB 330 provides for the sunset of the State Bill on January 1\, 2025; and\, \nWHEREAS\, effective January 1\, 2022\, Senate Bill 8 (SB8)\, extends the provisions of SB 330 (the HCA) to January 1\, 2034. SB8 clarifies that SB330 intended to apply to proposed housing development projects consisting of one or more units (including units requiring no discretionary approval and those requiring discretionary approval). However\, it also provides that the HCA shall only apply to a housing development project that submits a preliminary application before January 1\, 2030. This language was a drafting error that\, per the City Attorney\, limits the types of housing development projects upon which the City may apply the replacement obligations and tenant protections; and\, \nWHEREAS\, Council File #21-1431 seeks correction of the drafting error. The action directs the City Attorney and the Department of Planning to draft an ordinance that includes an urgency clause. The intention requires the replacement obligations and occupant protection of SB330 and SB8 to apply to Housing Development Projects that submit a complete application; file a complete set of building plans for plan check and permit; or receive a project or permit approval after January 1\, 2022. This action eliminates any gap inapplicability of the replacement obligations and occupant protections\, prevents the loss of replacement units and their protections\, and consistently maintains the application of replacement obligations and occupant protection as both Senate Bills intended; \nTHEREFORE\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee moves that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council support the adoption of a Los Angeles City Ordinance that provides the consistency of tenant protections and obligations provided for in both SB 330 and SB 8 as proposed in Council File #21-1431. \nFURTHERMORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the WHWCNC submit this CIS presented to the WHWCNC Board and approved on April 9\, 2022\, to the City Clerk of Los Angeles and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield. \n  \nItem No. (10) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair \n(22-050) Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375 \nPrince of Peace Church\, West Valley Food Pantry \n5700 Rudnick Street\, Woodland Hills CA \n  \nDiscussion and possible action                                                                       (20 minutes) \n  \nPrince of Peace Church/West Valley Food Pantry\, located at 5700 Rudnick Street in Woodland Hills\, submitted a Conditional Use Permit application to construct a 1-story 6\,646 sq. ft. building in 2 phases to house a commercial-size kitchen\, food storage\, offices\, multipurpose rooms\, and vehicular food distribution. \nPhase 1 will consist of a 4\,390 sq. ft. building to contain a warehouse\, two open work rooms and three office spaces\, restrooms\, and various associated utility rooms and a new north parking lot. \nPhase 2 will add an additional 2\,256 sq. ft. to the building which will contain two community rooms\, a small office and an 852 sq. ft. commercial-size kitchen. \n  \n  \n  \nAfter holding three (3) virtual public teleconference meetings\, including committee discussion\, regarding City Planning Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375\, the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee [PLUM] finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the existing Conditional Use Permits issued for the church property do not authorize use of the property for Food Pantry activities; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project site is zoned A1\, which prohibits any use that disrupts and is inconsistent with the neighborhood’s residential character; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the current and proposed food distribution hours are 9:30 am. to 2:00 pm Monday thru Thursday and 9:30 am. to noon on Friday. The applicant states\, in the application\, that the primary purpose of the expansion is for the continued existing social services that occur from 7:00 am. to 2:30 pm. Monday thru Thursday and 7:00 am. to 12:30 pm. on Fridays for volunteers\, clients and staff; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant claims inefficiency of existing Food Pantry operations occupying a church building and the main church parking lot; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the current CUP does not put any limits on growth of the Food Pantry; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, The Food Pantry’s observed distribution of food to approximately 35 vehicles (or 70 trips) per hour does not fit expectations for a residential collector street like Rudnick Avenue; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the application is for permission for two or more uses beyond the existing religious use. These include a receiving/repacking/distribution warehouse of food goods and packing materials\, and a kitchen; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the onsite distribution of groceries and the associated problems of traffic\, noise\, and litter in the neighborhood are inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Food Pantry provides a valuable charitable service for the distribution of donated and purchased food to the residents of  Woodland Hills and surrounding communities who are in need and suffering from food insecurity; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the community supports the mission of providing services to insecure populations\, the Food Pantry’s operations outgrew the existing site’s allowable uses and activity levels. \n  \nWHEREAS\, the food distribution portion of the Food Pantry process creates the majority of issues that disrupt and are inconsistent with the residential neighborhood\, other alternative methods for food distribution must be found; \nTHEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED\, for the findings stated hereinabove\, the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council receives and adopts the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee’s recommendation as its own. \nThe Board Multipart Resolution is: \n\nTo support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 1 construction\, using State funds\, and use of a 1-story Food Pantry building limited to operation as a warehouse and associated workspaces\, to be used solely by the Food Pantry\, plus an additional parking lot on the Prince of Peace property at 5700 Rudnick Street in Woodland Hills; and\,\nTo not support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 1 operation of an on-site distribution of food. PLUM recommends that Food Pantry find another suitable location or method for distribution; and\,\n\n  \n  \n\nTo support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 2 construction and operation of a building addition to the Phase 1 building\, paid for by Prince of Peace Church\, to include a small commercial-size kitchen\, two community rooms\, and a small office that the Food Pantry can use with the permission of Prince of Peace Church on weekdays when the Food Pantry is operating.\n\nContingent upon the following: \nConditions: \n  \n\nThe use of the State Grant funds shall be limited to Phase 1 of the development.\n\n  \n\nThe Conditional Use Permit must specifically address all allowed Food Pantry activities.\n\n  \n\nOngoing use of the Church’s facility by the Food Pantry outside of the proposed new facility shall require a new conditional use permit for review of operations and community impact.\n\n  \n\nThe applicant shall terminate the on-site food distribution process and find alternate methods for food distribution such as\, but not limited to:\n\n\nTransfer food distribution to sites one or more coalition members\nDevelop a mobile distribution system that reaches selected locations in the community.\n\n\nThe applicant shall establish a prominently posted hotline\, or similar means\, for nearby residents to report complaints and receive responses\, supported by a joint homeowners and Food Pantry committee to ensure prompt and equitable resolution.\n\n  \n\nA tall landscape buffer shall be planted along the north edge of the north parking lot.\n\n  \n\nA review of Food Pantry operations and neighborhood impacts shall be conducted by the Zoning Administrator after five (5) years.\n\n  \nFURTHERMORE\, 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 decision to partially support Phase 1 only for operation of warehousing groceries and not for on-site distribution of groceries to recipients\, and support the Phase 2 actions requested in the CUP application\, ZA-2021-8374\, and ZA-2021-8375\, as presented to the WHWCNC Board on April 13\, 2022. \n  \nSee posted support document                                                                                      Roll 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\, Kathleen Barth\nArea 3 – Nancy McLean\, Angela Dawson\, John Sandy Campbell\, Alex Farassati \nArea 4 – Brian Archibald\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss\, Sean Pilz \nArea 5 – Peter Fletcher\, Tristin Estandiari\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline\, Lauren Coffman \nArea 7 – Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian\, Logan Fisher\nAt-Large – Sam Evans\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler and Joyce Fletcher\, Co-Chairs \nCommunity Services Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee – Reina Cerros McCaughey\, Chair & Mihran Kalaydjian\, Vice Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Brian Archibald\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee – Sam Evans\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair\nPublic Safety and Transportation Committee – Houtan Hormozian\, Chair\nSocial Media & Community Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair & Kathleen Barth\, Vice Chair\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \n  \nAd-hoc – Westfield Promenade 2035 Project – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

WHA serves as the local home middle school for much of the community we serve. \n  \nDirectly across the street to the West of WHA is the area called Warner Center. This 11\,000-acre regional center is designated as a high-density residential and commercial “downtown for the San Fernando Valley”. \n  \nThe City’s General Plan’s Housing Element and the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan allows mixed-used neighborhoods limited to 26\,048 residential units. In the first seven years (by 2020)\, 60% of the limit (15\,557) was built or entitled. Currently\, thousands of these units are under construction or just completed resulting in many new families moving in or soon will be. Families with children translate into new students for the local community schools\, like WHA across the street\, this school year and next. This demand for school seats will only increase in the next few years as additional projects are built\, and more families move in. For example\, in 2021\, at Burbank and De Soto\, roughly 1\,500 from WHA\, a significant project was entitled for 1\,029 residential units. Several blocks away at Oxnard & Topanga\, another project was approved for 1\,400 units. Closer to WHA\, at the old Fry’s site on Canoga\, a project with 850 residential units in the design stage has come before the WHWCNC. \n  \nWith these large projects coming online or in development\, the remaining 10\,491 residential units allowed for by the 2035 master plan are now expected to be built or entitled by 2029. This means LAUSD must be working with the community to make and execute strategies to add capacity at local Woodland Hills schools for the increased enrollment demands that will only grow the balance of this decade. LAUSD would be negligent in compromising local home school enrolment capacity at the very time it is needed by collocating a charter school on campuses like WHA. \n  \nWHA is attempting to recover from the devastating effects of COVID\, including recruiting back families to the school. Having a co-located facility will deter these efforts and greatly overburden an already overtaxed faculty and staff. \n  \nThe WHA campus is too small to accommodate a co-location and does not have an area to separate the two schools. \n  \nWHA is a small school with a safe campus. Adding students from another school will cause disruption and traffic issues that directly conflict with the safety plan of Woodland Hills Academy. \n  \nFaculty\, staff\, parents\, and students work together under their governance model; Expanded School-Based Management\, to develop students’ enrollment\, curriculum\, and course offerings. A co-located campus sharing resources will jeopardize their efforts to advance Woodland Hills Academy as specialized classrooms and other needed resources will be lost to the co-located charter. \n  \nTherefore: \n  \nFor all the above reasons stated herein\, the WHWCNC strongly opposes any LAUSD plan or offer to collocate a charter school on the WHA campus or do anything that limits the capacity or resources of any LAUSD Woodland Hills school. Instead\, the WHWCNC asks that LAUSD engage with its Woodland Hills school site’s staff\, parents\, students\, and the greater community to make its local home schools everyone’s first choice to educate its youth and those adults seeking vocational skills. \n  \nSee posted support document                                                                         Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (11) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Dena Weiss \n(22-039) Funding for up to (30) WHWCNC Board Member Lawn Signs \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to approve to $821.25 from Budget 2021-2022 Line Item (General Outreach) for the purchase of 30 lawn signs to be placed on lawns of members of the Board\, who wish to do so. These signs will be further developed and designed (City logo will be added) per the attached template and can be customized to add individual’s names\, area representative designation\, WHWCNC phone number and WHWCNC email address if requested. Or they can be plain. It is recognized that some board members may not want to have signs in their yards. However\, as elected officials of the local stakeholders\, it is anticipated that the demand will be there to alert the stakeholders that a representative is in their neighborhood to listen to their needs and suggestions. Total cost $821.25 at $25 per lawn sign (plus wire stake) made by vendor by Rivas Enterprises. See attachment.  This breaks down to a cost of $750 plus tax.

The Reseda CIS documents how DONE mismanaged its vendor selection\, vendor oversight\, and payments in connection with the 2021 NC election outreach. By way of example: \n\nSelected & paid unqualified vendors for services at far above market rates of qualified vendors for such services. Issued “no-bid” contracts to vendors for services outside their usual scope of work when multiple qualified vendors could have bid and performed the services.\nPaid vendors for outreach who targeted young children rather than eligible adult (over 18) potential NC candidates and voters.\nSelected\, contracted & paid vendors for election outreach after the 2021 NC election cycle had passed.\nPaid vendors for 2021election outreach for NC’s that were not holding elections in 2021 and for NC’s that did not exist.\nProvided no election outreach & promotion for NCs who were having elections in 2021\nPaid vendors for services not performed despite such services being the basis of the vendor’s bid and agreed upon statement of work or contract with the City that was negotiated by DONE and reviewed and paid by the City Clerk.\n\nNOW\, THEREFORE\, based on the finding documented and reported by\, and questions raised by the Reseda NC and in addition the questions and moving forward concerns of the WHWCNC\, the WHWCNC passes the following CIS and letter to City officials: \nFebruary 10\, 2022 \nLos Angeles City Clerk\, Holly L. Wolcott\, (via Clerk.NCFunding@lacity.org & Clerk.CPS@lacity.org) \nDept. of Neighbor Empowerment\, G.M.\, Raquel Beltran\, (via Raquel.Beltran@lacity.org) \nBoard of Neighborhood Commissioners\, (via Commission@empowerla.org) \nMayor\, Eric Garcetti (via Eric.Garcetti@lacity.org) \nCity Council President\, Nury Martinez\, (via Nury.Martinez@lacity.org) \n  \n  \n  \nCouncil Member Bob Blumenfield\, (via Bob.Blumenfield@lacity.org) \nCity Controller\, Ron Galperin\, (via Ron.Galperin@lacity.org) \nCity Attorney\, Mike Feuer\, (via Mike.Feuer@lacity.org) \n  \nLos Angeles City Hall \n200 N. Spring Street \nLos Angeles\, CA 90012 \n  \nRE: CF 20-0963 (Neighborhood Council Elections/Fiscal Year 2020-21/Covid Pandemic)   \n  \nCOMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENT  \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] echoes the concerns expressed by Reseda Neighborhood Council (link) and other NCs in the Council File regarding the spending patterns and failures of oversight by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment [DONE] and the City Clerk’s Office for the 2021 Neighborhood Council elections and their impact on candidate recruitment and voter engagement. \nNeighborhood Councils function as the closest level of government for four million residents of Los Angeles. City agencies and departments must give NC Elections the same scrutiny and effort as other City Office elections. \nAs documented by the Reseda NC\, leadership failures by the DONE permeated the 2021 election cycle. Given that the Department requested one million dollars for the upcoming election cycle\, the WHWCNC agrees that DONE and the City Clerk provide further information regarding their stewardship of resources in the previous election cycle after a careful and thorough examination of public documents. \nThe WHWCNC reiterates Reseda Neighborhood Council’s sentiments and similarly requests a detailed written accounting from DONE and the City Clerk’s Office with backup documents of the money spent and the money remaining from the $456\,000 allocated to the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment for the 2021 election by February 28\, 2022. If they cannot meet this deadline\, we request a partial response by this date\, including a commitment to a complete reply and a statement of when we will receive a full response. \nWHWCNC further requests that the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners address this Community Impact Statement in writing by February 28\, 2022. \nDue to the failed outreach\, lack of proper oversight\, and ineffective use of public funds\, the WHWCNC requests a detailed response from DONE and the City Clerk explaining all the expenditures\, vendors used\, vendor contracts\, and proof of performance concerning the 2021 elections\, including a breakout of the WHWCNC-Region 3 election activities and expenditures. \nWHWCNC further requests that the City Clerk’s Office and the City Controller’s Office review whether there was adequate review of DONE payment requests and vendor proof of performance for 2021 Neighborhood Council Elections expenditures against contract or scope of work agreements before the Clerk’s payment of public funds to NC election vendors. \nThe WHWNC requests that the City Council Arts\, Parks\, Health\, Education\, and Neighborhood Committee reopen this council file and put the findings from the attached Reseda Neighborhood Council report on its agenda for discussion and appropriate action. \n  \nFinally\, the WHWCNC requests that any future NC election-related public outreach be coordinated by region-election cycle\, in conjunction with the affected Neighborhood Councils\, concerning planning the appropriate formats and messages for public outreach\, plus choosing proper media\, and qualifying the vendors for election-related services. These activities were inadequate or absent for 2021. Furthermore\, the planning and subsequent contracting for election-related public outreach should start a year before elections to be conducted effectively and timely. Ideally\, public participation outreach should be an ongoing\, year-round activity with professionally qualified staffing to match. \nAttached is the complete statement & report from Reseda Neighborhood Council. \nThis CIS motion was brought before the WHWCNC Board at its February 9\, 2022\, meeting and passed with the following Board vote: \nSincerely\, \nJoyce Fletcher\, President \nWoodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nEnclosure: Reseda Neighborhood Council’s CIS (including full report) submitted on 01/18/2022 \n  \nSee posted support document                                                                                     Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No (13) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Dena Weiss \n(22-028) NPG Funding for the West Valley Food Pantry \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to approve $1000 from Budget Line Item (Community Improvement Projects \nand NPG General Fund) for funding for the West Valley Food Pantry. The West Valley Food Pantry provides groceries to 600 low-income seniors. The Pantry also feeds approximately 700 families per week during this pandemic crisis.  Their efforts are made possible by contributions of food and funds from local organizations such as the NC.

Instead\, the LA City Council should adopt the original unrevised LAUSD DRAFT Map 2 to establish the district boundaries for LAUSD District 3 for the West San Fernando Valley and District 6 for the East San Fernando Valley. Using the original unrevised Draft Map 2 boundaries will result in each district having school board members who can focus their attention and understanding on unique compact districts of numerous overlapping common communities of interest and concern.\nThe LA City Council should keep LAUSD District 4 on the south side of the Santa Monica Mountains to serve West Los Angeles and adjoining LAUSD beach communities. These recommendations are based on the following CIS statement-report and attached map. Community Impact Statement from the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council Re: Council File: 20-0668-S6- LAUSD Redistricting Commission Recommended Map To: Los Angeles City Council\, Office of Mayor Garcetti From: Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) Re: Council File: 20-0668-S6- LAUSD Redistricting Commission Recommended Map\nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] strongly opposes the Final Recommendation Map adopted by the LAUSD Redistricting Commission submitted on October 29\, 2021\,\nto the Los Angeles City Council.\nInstead\, the WHWCNC endorses and asks the LA City Council to adopt the original\, unrevised LAUSD DRAFT Map 2 [see referenced maps below] to establish the district boundaries for LAUSD District 3 for the West San Fernando Valley and District 6 for the East San Fernando Valley.\nThe Los Angeles City Charter frames several key criteria and standards applicable to redistricting; equal population and the consideration of traditional redistricting criteria such as communities of interest\, existing boundaries and geographical compactness\, compliance with the Voting Rights Act. Ignoring these requirements\, the LAUSD Redistricting Commission placed a small section of the West San Fernando Valley (portions of Woodland Hills and Reseda\, and Encino and Tarzana communities) into Board District\n4 and not into the adjoining West San Fernando Valley Board District 3.\nThe currently proposed District 4 has the largest population of any district; 705\,226. The presently proposed District 4 has the highest CVAP (Community Voting Age Population) percentage of white voters; 65.94%\, and only 14.68% Latino and 5.64% Black.\nThe charter mandates that Neighborhoods and Communities of Interest should be preserved by drawing boundary lines to maintain communities that share common interests in a single district.\nA community of interest is a population that shares common social and economic interests and should be kept together in a single district to provide fair and effective representation:\n• shared housing patterns\n• income levels\n• cultural and language characteristics\n• work opportunities\n• crime related issues\n• social infrastructure-neighborhood councils\, community service organizations\, feeder schools\, sports leagues\, recreational areas\, religious institutions\, and public infrastructures such as public transportation\, fire\, and police precincts.\nThe charter mandates that neighborhoods and communities should be kept intact and utilize natural boundaries and street lines and be geographically compact respecting:\n• Contiguity; all parts of a district should connect\n• Compactness; a district should be geographically compact\n• Existing Boundaries; the redistricting commission should consider geographic\, street\, and natural boundaries.\nThe currently proposed District 4 map ignores all the above redistricting criteria:\n• The New District 4 has the largest population in Los Angeles\n• The new District 4 is the least diverse school board district\n• The communities in the West San Fernando Valley were separated from their neighboring communities of interest. Carving off some schools and placing them as orphaned appendages to a district focused on the other side of the Santa Monica Mountains\, where they share no common interests\, social or public infrastructure\, or feeder schools. What does Woodland Hills share or have in common with Pacific Palisades\, Westchester\, or Larchmont?\n• The New District 4 is the largest geographical district in the LAUSD\, extending from north of Mulholland to as far south as Redondo Beach and Larchmont to the east. District 4 should use the natural boundary line of the Santa Monica Mountains\, south of Mulholland\, as its border and not isolate a small portion of the San Fernando Valley north of Mulholland from its adjoining neighbors.\nThe LAUSD Redistricting Commission ignored the community impact statements\, emails\, and public comments from the West San Fernando Valley. Therefore\, the WHWCNC opposes the Final Recommendation Map adopted by the LAUSD Redistricting Commission that separates a small portion of our community and schools from the rest of the West San Fernando Valley\, which is in District 3 and places part of our neighborhood and its schools incongruously in District 4.\nWe urge the Los Angeles City Council to reject the Final Recommendation Map and unite the entirety of Woodland Hills\, Reseda\, Tarzana\, and Encino with their neighbors in LAUSD Board District 3 as drawn in the original unrevised Map 2. Please do not disenfranchise the needs and concerns of the West San Fernando Valley.\nSee posted support document which includes various maps ROLL CALL VOTE\nItem No. (3) President\, Joyce Fletcher\n(21-090) December WHWCNC Board Meeting (10 minutes)\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion for the board to approve that the WHWCNC will not have a board meeting in December and will reconvene on January 12\, 2022.

Action(s) requested: Parcel map to subdivide the site into three ground lots; 2 Project Permit Compliance Review(s) for a phased\, unified mixed-use development within the Warner Center Specific Plan\, Downtown District. \n  \nAs pertaining to Case DIR-2020-5379-SPP-VHCA at 6100 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held four (4) live or virtual electronic public meetings for the application filed by Kaplan Companies (Houston Texas)\, for an 8.88 acre phased Master Planned mixed-use development project in the Downtown District of the Warner Center Plan that is in compliance with the Warner Center 2035 Specific Plan and will feature residential units (852 market rate apartments and 316 Work/Live spaces) providing 1\,154\,178 SF of total floor area in two apartment/garage structures\, plus a 12-story hotel building fronting Canoga Ave.\, the WHWCNC Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed Master Plan adheres to all of the requirements of the Downtown District of the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan without requesting variances or exemptions; and\, \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed Master Plan provides the required balance proportions between commercial space and residential space; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the development plan provides for 85\,106 SF of usable Publicly Available Open Space (PAOS) which includes a 4\,300 SF public park fronting Canoga Ave.\, and a total of 127\,235 SF of PAOS which is 149% of the required amount; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a total of 1\,381 vehicle parking spaces and 407 bicycle spaces are provided in the Master Plan which exceed the minimum required totals for this mixed-use Master Planned development; and\, \nWHEREAS all 54 existing trees on the site will be removed and replaced with a total of  243 newly planted shade producing trees (not including additional palm trees around the hotel) in the PAOS\, parklettes and “club garden” areas; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS since the proposed development will create a significant “heat island” in the Downtown District\, the Applicant has agreed to explore the options of using Cool-Crete surfaces throughout the  open spaces of the project\, solar panels on the roofs of the garages\, and cool roof surfaces on the other structures; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the development plans call for the creation of a private\, 2-way road around the hotel that will serve as the ingress/egress for all vehicles to the site and which the Applicant has agreed to make a No Parking thoroughfare; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the Applicant has added “fins\,” “buttresses” and other permanent architectural elements and embellishments to all three “tower” structures fronting Canoga Ave. and additional roofline modifications along the north and south elevations of the garages/apartments in an effort to create a more iconic project as requested by the Neighborhood Council; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the Applicant has stated that he is has reached out to the property owners of existing structures on the south\, north and east to negotiate open access pathways (from 6 AM-10 PM) to surrounding streets in order to break up the giant WC block(s) and create true connectivity through WC as mandated in the 2035 Specific Plan; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the Applicant has stated that land slated for the phases not undergoing construction or serving as a staging site for current construction equipment/materials\, will not be used as temporary parking or storage sites\, and that those sites will be graded\, landscaped and open to the public until new construction is about to begin. \n  \nTherefore\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee and the full Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that application and plans submitted by Kaplan Companies\, its affiliated architects\, planners and partners receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) for their requested actions contingent upon the following conditions: \n  \nConditions \n  \n\nThe work/live units represent approximately 50% of the required commercial use for this project. As such\, the WHWCNC believes the majority of those units need to be located adjacent to the other commercial uses – the Bodega\, Hotel Lobby and leasing offices– to benefit from the pedestrian foot traffic that would activate these work/live “storefronts” and enable their rental and commercial success.\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSubsequently\, creating an interesting commercial zone adjacent to the new “park” open space along Canoga Avenue and adjacent to the Hotel Lobby and its possible cafes\, bars and other commercial activities\, would fulfill the intention of the 2035 Specific Plan for this Downtown Neighborhood by enabling this project to engage with the Woodland Hills community thru this new interesting commercial activity area\, while also promoting small business\, along Canoga Avenue. \n  \n\nThe WHWCNC is requesting that the Applicant strongly reconsidermaking a percentage of his residential units meet the State defined rental rate for “Affordable Housing” which the Applicant has previously rejected.\n\n  \n\nThe 243 new deciduous trees for the property must be in tree containers of the following sizes: Maximum of 25% of total in at least 15-gallon size containers; 25% of total in 24” wood box containers; 25% of total in 36” wood box containers; and 25% of total in 48” wood box containers.\n\n  \n\nIn the event that the Applicant cannot negotiate unobstructed connectivity (6 AM to 10 PM) with adjoining properties in order to provide the required connectivity and street access mandated by the2035 WC Specific Plan\, the Applicant shall enlist the assistance of the CD-3 Council office or\, if necessary\, the LA City Attorney to assure the Specific Plan connectivity mandate is fulfilled.\n\n  \n\nAll plans presented either in person or electronically October 12\, 2021 to the Board of the WHWCNC shall be dated as such and\, shall be re-submitted to Planning as a final project plan application submittal.\n\n  \n\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support.

Additionally\, all conditions herein shall be printed on one of the Project Summary pages as a commitment to–and acceptance of–these conditions.\n\n  \n\nThe Applicant will place a project sign on each appropriate Phase of the project at the beginning of construction of sufficient size that is clearly visible to the street showing a rendering of the proposed/approved project building\, plus specifics as to the size\, ownership and contact information. Upon receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy\, the signs for that building shall be removed.\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 subsequent recommendations to SUPPORT this motion presented on October 13\, 2021. \n  \nSee posted support document                                                                         Roll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (11) PLUM Committee\, Lauren Coffman \n(21-083) ZA-2021-3918-CUB \nBombay Frankie’s Restaurant – 21853 Ventura Blvd. Woodland Hills\, CA 91364 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (20 minutes) \n\nAs pertaining to Case ZA-2021-3918-CUB – having held one virtual public meeting held on October 7th\, 2021\, for a CUB\, pursuant to the provisions of section 12.23-W.1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code\, to allow the sale and dispensing of a full line of alcoholic beverages for on-site consumption in conjunction with THE BOMBAY FRANKIE’S a 1\,566 sq. ft. interior tenant space with 398 sq. ft. patio which is located within the parcel located at 21853 Ventura Blvd.\, Woodland Hills CA 91364.

CD 3 had the most growth in the Los Angeles in the last decade. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council gained about 10\,000 residents. According to the Planning Department’s recent draft of the forthcoming Housing Element\, Warner Center will add over 10\,000 residential units within 8 years beyond the units approved or under construction at the time of the census. The near-term future residents of those buildings are not accounted for by the census and greatly exacerbate the deviation. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that all Neighborhood Councils must be kept whole to the extent feasible to limit the burdens imposed by dealing with multiple City Council District Offices. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that City Council Districts be compact to facilitate 1) easy access to City Council District Offices by all\, 2) make District Offices more efficient by not being spread out\, and 3) to maximize resident’s familiarity with district issues. Far-flung districts with disparate local communities or topography can result in Council District divisiveness regarding needs and expectations of different communities\, creating difficulties for Council Members to serve their Districts. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that adjoining Neighborhood Council and communities are much stronger as a compact greater community.  They work better together than when they are separated into different districts. When there is less reason to combine their efforts\, working together is much more difficult. Keeping communities of interest together is very important for the city because when a group of Neighborhood Councils share environmental concerns\, police and fire stations\, retail centers\, facilities\, healthcare\, traffic systems\, schools\, the same social infrastructure\, whether it be Chambers of Commerce\, sports leagues\, recreational areas\, service and social organizations\, languages\, or religious institutions\, the local communities\, and the entire city functions better. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that it supports the Commission’s goal of using Mulholland Drive as a border to the Valley Council Districts whereby 5 City Council Districts are totally within the Valley. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that redistricting\, to the extent feasible\, should limit the number of Community Plans\, Specific Plans\, and similar entities\, which City Council Districts must attend to. This will maximize their efficiency in dealing with District Issues. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that the Warner Center Specific Plan strongly affects all the surrounding communities and is a vital economic interest to all of them. Warner Center is a city-designated Regional Center serving as the “Downtown” of the West Valley. Warner Center is in Woodland Hills and Canoga Park. It should not be in 2 or more City Council Districts. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that the redistricting process must acknowledge the importance of Warner Center as an economic interest for the West Valley. Redistricting must create a City Council District that maintains a strong focus on Warner Center\, composed of the Neighborhood Councils that are affected by Warner Center\, and one that will avoid generating conflict with distant Neighborhood Councils competing for attention. Most Neighborhood Councils surrounding Warner Center are included in the Neighborhood Protection Plan element of the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan and thus should be included in the same Council District as Warner Center. Likewise\, the Specific Plan also has a Plan Implementation Board of appointed local community members that is overseen by the Council Member for Warner Center and that Board directs the funding priorities of the Plan’s mitigation projects within the West Valley\, which is of significant interest to surrounding Neighborhood Councils. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board is “Against Using Redistricting Commission Proposed Map K2.5” \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that Map K 2.5 does not serve the best interests of our greater local community groups and violates the important premise of keeping communities of interest in the same Council District. Woodland Hills shares a much greater community interest with its West Valley neighbors than it does with communities east of the 405 Freeway like Valley Village and Valley Glen or Sherman Oaks that are included with Woodland Hills in Map K 2.5. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that Map K 2.5 will quickly dilute the vote power of the Council District for Warner Center. The current “CD 3” had the most growth in Los Angeles. Future West Valley population growth will be led by Warner Center. Starting with an excess population of almost 12\,000 for “CD 3”\, the deviation overage will be quickly exacerbated. Map K 2.5 does not account for the additional 10\,000+ residential units to be built over the next 6-8 years\, according to the Planning Department\, above and beyond the thousands of units already approved or under construction. This could easily result in over 20\,000 to 35\,000 additional residents from just Warner Center on top of the 12\,000 taking the proposed District population way beyond the ideal much faster than other Council Districts which effectively denies equal representation. \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board is “Against Using Redistricting Commission Proposed Map L” \n  \nThe WHWCNC Board opines that Map L does not serve the best interests of Neighborhood Councils. It violates the principal of keeping Neighborhood Councils whole. Neighborhood Councils must not be split between 2 or 3 Council Districts. A Council District on both sides of Mulholland Drive results in interests located outside of the Valley taking away a Council Districts focus on Valley interests. A Council Member should not be put into a position of divided loyalty. Map L violates the goal of compactness as the residents of Reseda and Lake Balboa Neighborhood Councils (north of the US101 Freeway) have minimal to no local common interests with residents of the West Los Angeles and Palms Neighborhood Councils (south of the I-10 Freeway). \n  \nPlease see that attached PDF report that contains the redistricting maps referenced and additional information. \n  \nSee posted support document.                                                                        Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (15) John Sandy Campbell\, Area 3 CBO Representative \n(21-087) Special Meeting Agenda \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (20 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the Board to approve a “Community Meeting/Town Hall” Special Meeting to be hosted \nby John Sandy Campbell and two (2) other interested board representatives from any area during the month of November\, to present on topics that affect the community (i.e. Streets\, Public Safety\, Outreach\, Education).

Neighborhood Council to SUPPORT Council File 21-0063\, which directs all city departments that own land to provide reports on the \nunderutilization of that land and the feasibility of using them for temporary or permanent homeless housing and directs the Department of General Services to evaluate leases to outside entities to determine if they can be modified for the purposes of using said land to homeless individuals and families. \n  \nWHEREAS\, the city of Los Angeles owns more than 470 sq. miles of land\, which is primarily “utilized for libraries\, parks\, police stations\, and fire stations.” \n  \nWHEREAS\, by the Los Angeles City Council’s own admission\, “The City” owns a “sizable amount of land [that is] unused or underutilized.” \n  \nWHEREAS\, the waitlist for federal housing vouchers is over a decade long with many of those vouchers expire before they can be used due individuals NOT being able to find landlords willing to accept such vouchers. \n  \nWHEREAS\, over 500K evictions in Los Angeles County between 2010-2018\, contributed to the increase in individuals and families becoming homeless. \n  \nWHEREAS\, Los Angeles is third nationwide in terms of housing not being affordability\, with housed individuals spending more than 30% of their monthly income on housing\, which places them in jeopardy of becoming homeless were they to experience a strain in their monthly income from unforeseen familial events. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Homelessness Committee recommends that the Board of Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports Council File 21-0063. \n  \nReferences: click on links \n  \nhttps://laist.com/news/section-8-waiting-list \n

C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); 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 \nand 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 \nthus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed \nlot 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. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, \nfor the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an \nRA-1 zoned parcel at 23133 Oxnard Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for lot width nonconformance should not receive the support of \nthe 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 on May 12\, 2021. \n  \n  \nItem No. (4) Governance Committee – Don Patterson \n(21-045) Area 7 Alternate \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \n  \nPursuant to Article V Section 6 of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council Bylaws – Motion to appoint Dena Weiss to the vacant Alternate seat for Area 7.\n(Area 7 is not part of the current neighborhood council election.) \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (5) Technology and Community Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair \n(21-046) (CIS) Funding for WHWCNC logo branded Outreach items \n\nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to approve $1\,500.00 from 2020-2021 Budget line item General Outreach \nfor the purchase of WHWCNC logo branded outreach items to be provided to stakeholders at \nvarious events where the WHWCNC is participating. \nItems: 1300 items \nAntibacterial Wet Wipes with Resealable Pouch – 200 pouches for $270 \nChildren’s Coloring Books – 300 books for $200 \nMy Visit with a Police Officer \nFlash Teaches Fire Safety \nHow to Deal with Bullying – No Bullying Zone \nCrayon sets individually packaged – 300 sets for $200 \nBallpoint pens – 500 pens for $200 \nArtwork and shipping TBD \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (6) Joyce Fletcher\, President \n(21-047) Request per EmpowerLA – Seating of New Board Members \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \nAt the request of Empower LA: Motion for the board to vote to seat the new board members and to \nelect new Officers at the June 9\, 2021 Board Meeting or the July 14\, 2021 Board Meeting. \nIt is Empower LA’s preference for NC’s to follow the EmpowerLA 2021 Board Seating Policy which would seat the new Board in July. The elections of new officers would also occur at the July meeting.  Because NC elections have occurred so close to the end of the fiscal year\, July is the preferred option to select in order to close out the fiscal year\, support projects\, process payments on time and complete new board member training requirements. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) Joyce Fletcher\, President \n(21-048) Election Transition Caucus                                                          \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (10 minutes) \n  \n  \nMotion for the Board to not require the following election “Transition Caucus” process outlined in \nthe Bylaws as it is in violation of the committee quorum that allows only (5) board members to participate on any NC committee. This Bylaw is also in violation of the Brown Act requirement that all meetings must be publicly noticed and publicly held. This Board voted to not have a caucus after the 2019 NC Election. \n  \nA Caucus is defined as follows: a closed meeting of a group of persons belonging to the same political party or faction usually to select candidates or to decide on policy a presidential caucus also: a group of people united to promote an agreed-upon cause. \n  \nWHWCNC Bylaws – Article 4 – Section 3: Selection of Officers \n  \n\nFollowing any annual election and prior to the start of new terms\, a Transition Caucus will be convened composed of newly elected Representative-Elects and Alternate Representative-Elects for the purpose of nominating and accepting nominations of candidates for officer positions. The Transition Caucus shall include one person from each of the seven (7) areas\, plus the elected ASR. Final selection of Transition Caucus members will be at the discretion of the President whose term is ending.\n\n  \n\nOfficers shall be elected from the annual Transition Caucus nominations. In the event that a newly elected Representative is removed from office due to a successful election challenge and the margin of victory for any given officer is close\, the Transition Caucus may reconvene to re-vote for the affected officer positions.\n\n  \n\nIf there are more than two (2) candidates for an office and none receives a majority vote on the first election\, a run-off election shall be held immediately between the two (2) candidates receiving the highest number of votes.\n\n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (8) Education Committee – Reina Cerros McCaughey\, Chair \n(21-049) Funding Request – Calvert Charter Elementary School \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (15 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to approve a NPG for $2\,000 from Budget line-item NPG General Fund for Calvert Charter Enriched Studies Elementary school to provide shade structures. The grant will be used to directly help pay for much needed shade for the students. Calvert Charter for Enriched studies serves students from all over Woodland hills\, and surrounding areas\, Calvert Charter for Enriched Studies is in Woodland Hills Warner Center\, Area 1\, the school serves a predominant population of Title 1 students\, total students enrolled is 336. In this post pandemic world\, students will spend a great deal of time outside making this project even more beneficial and relevant to Calvert students. \nSee posted support documents                                                                       Roll Call Vote \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (9) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair \n(21-050) DIR-2021-915-DI\, Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation \n2100 Erwin Street\, Woodland Hills 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (15 minutes) \n  \nAs pertaining to Case DIR-2021-951-DI\, having held 2 public teleconference meetings for the applicant\, \nTerasaki\, medical research institute\, 21100 Erwin St.\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, seeking the support of the WHWCNC for a request for Administrative Clearance to allow a change of use from a previous vacant office and parking garage to a medical research laboratory.

This will help to bring state of the art technologies to Warner Center that will position Warner Center as a technological hub for decades to come\, expanding business opportunities and building on Warner Center’s legacy as a place of innovation. The Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports this motion\, and draft letter of support\, as presented on April 14\, 2021.\nSee posted support document Roll Call Vote\nItem No. (4) WHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair\n(21-041) (CIS) Council File 20-1044 – Development – High Value Projects\nDiscussion and possible action: (15 minutes)\nMotion – Concerning the amended City Council Motion on High Value Projects (CF 20-1044) adopted by the Los Angeles City Council on February 16\, 2021\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) requests that the City Council reconsider their decision to move evaluations of “High Value” projects directly to the full City Council Board instead of the City’s PLUM Committee until full resolution on key evaluation issues can be reached:\nPage 4 of 6\nWHEREAS\, while the WHWCNC fully appreciates the efforts to reduce corruption in its determinations\, we believe bypassing the City Council’s Planning\, Land Use and Mobility (PLUM) Committee to fully vet and evaluate the most impactful projects in the City and their effects on the communities they intend to build in; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the WHWCNC recognizes that these “High Value” projects should provide the public all the opportunities to comment on the significant impacts to their neighborhoods\, land values and traffic effects; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the amended motion would have the effect of limiting public participation in the approval process by elimination of any hearing held by the City PLUM Committee; and\nWHEREAS\, the City has presented no quantifiable determination as to exactly what constitutes a “High Value” project\, nor has it shown that the Councilmembers have the time\, staffing or depth of understanding to provide each Councilmember with a full understanding of all the significant issues that could/will significantly impact a neighborhood or community; and\nWHEREAS\, even the determination of who designates a project as “High Value\,” and who makes the final decision to either send it to the City PLUM or to the full City Council has not been proposed to the public; and\nWHEREAS\, the amended City Council resolution makes no effort to create a true independent review of these “High Value” projects which will cost hundreds of millions of dollars and affect the lifestyles of hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles residents and businesses; and\nWHEREAS\, the City has created no barriers to the lawyers\, private planners and other individuals in promoting a “High Value” project to Council Members\, thus creating the opportunity for even more City decision makers to be targets for corruption;\nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly urges the Los Angeles City Council to reconsider their amended motion of High Value projects that was passed on February 16\, 2021\, and delay reconsidering the motion again until:\n1. A specific definition of a “High Value” project is determined by Planning\, the public and the City Council\n2. A determination as to exactly which individual(s) will have the authority to determine if a project is sent to the City PLUM Committee or sent directly to the full City Council for resolution.\n3. A solution is found that creates a greater timeframe and more generous appeal process for the public—and specifically for stakeholders in the neighborhood where the project is slated to be built–before the sitting City Council members make any final decisions.\n4. A process for providing greater awareness of these “High Value” projects is in place so that communities and neighborhoods can more fully be involved in the City Council’s determinations.\n5. A process be developed to limit or provide notice of contact outside of public meetings between “High Value” applicants or their representative and the Members of the City Council or their staff.\nBE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council requests the Los Angeles City Council\, the Los Angeles Planning Department and the City Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to perform greater outreach to the residents and business of the City of Los Angeles and to their elected Neighborhood Councils so that the constituents of this City can have a greater voice in the most significant projects impacting our lives and lifestyles.\nPage 5 of 6\nFurthermore\, the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council send copies of this recommendation to:\nCity Council Members:\nGil Cedillo\, Paul Krekorian\, Bob Blumenfield\, Nithya Raman\, Paul Koretz\, Nury Martinez\,\nMonica Rodriguez\, Marqueece Harris-Dawson\, Curren Price Jr.\, Mark Ridley Thomas\, Mike Bonin\,\nJohn Lee\, Mitch O’Farrell\nFor further information see posted support document Roll Call Vote\n3.

For the most recent years before COVID-19\, the CNC took place at City Hall\, with a continental breakfast\, box lunches\, and snacks furnished to attendees. NC funding paid for the food served\, collateral materials provided\, and other expenses associated with putting on the CNC.\nThe 2021 CNC tentatively scheduled for Saturday\, September 25\, 2021\, is in the early planning stages. With the progress made and anticipated in administering COVID-19 vaccines\, there is the hope that the 2021 CNC could be an in-person event once again. If public health circumstances dictate otherwise\, the CNC will be a virtual event.\nWHWCNC Board members who have attended the CNC in the past found it to be valuable\, informative and the catalyst for activities that benefited the Woodland Hills community.\nNOW\, THEREFORE\, the WHWCNC Board authorizes the expenditure of up to $1\,000 of its 2020-21 outreach budget toward funding the CNC. The Board authorizes its funding officers (President\, Vice President\, and Treasurer) to determine the final amount of this funding based on:\n• available unspent funds the NC has as its FYE approaches and\n• based on the CNC’s anticipated need for financing as a hopefully in-person event or a virtual event as updated planning information becomes known to the funding officers.\nThe Board further directs the Treasurer before this FY spending deadline to make said payment by check payable to “City of Los Angeles Congress of Neighborhoods – Awards\,” an established and approved vendor on the NC Funding System Portal.\nSee posted support document Roll Call Vote\nPage 5 of 9\nItem No. (34) Homelessness Committee – Ray Cole\, Chair\n(21-034) Community Impact Statement (CIS) Council File 21-0041\nDiscussion and possible action: (15 minutes)\nTo: Councilman Bob Blumenfield\nRe: Council File 21-0041\nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) SUPPORTS Council File 21-0041 for the City Council to support AB 2553\, which allows local agencies to construct shelters as long as they meet the guidelines of Appendix O of the CBC.\nIt also allows agencies to adopt an ordinance with different design standards than existing law if they present findings to the state Department of Housing and Community Development as to why they cannot meet the standards of Appendix O and how their alternative design standards protect the health and safety of shelter occupants.\nThis will allow for more types of housing such as A Bridge Home Program\, Sprung Tent structures\, Shipping Containers\, and Tiny Homes.\nWHEREAS\, Emphasis is focused on finding available housing in the West Valley\, specifically temporary housing within Woodland Hills; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the 2020 (last recorded homeless Count) Homeless Count by Community/City shows that there are 97 homeless individuals in the city of Woodland Hills; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the need for temporary housing is in great need in the West Valley to support unhoused individuals; and\,\nWHEREAS\, there is an currently projects in progress for cabin communities\, safe parking\, A Bridge Home\, and Project Homekey developments in Council District 3; and\,\nWHEREAS\, case management services are utilized to clients to overcome barriers to housing;\nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Homelessness Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS Council File 21-0041 with the following conditions.\nConditions 1. Work with the WHWCNC and community to obtain more locations for temporary housing to get many homeless individuals off of the street.\n2. Be creative with the types of temporary housing units that are inexpensive to build and can easily be moved when needs are met in a certain area.\n3. Provide at least one temporary housing option in Woodland Hills area of Council District 3.\nPage 6 of 9\nItem No. (35) WHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair\n(21-035) Request for City Planning Presentation per Woodland Hills Community Plan\nDiscussion and possible action: (15 minutes)\nMotion to request a City Planning presentation regarding status and discussion of current changes for Woodland Hills in the Community Plan Update.\nThe Planning Department of the City of Los Angeles is involved in rewriting and adjusting the Community Plan for the Southwest Valley Community Plan as part of its objective of updating all of the City’s 35 Community Plans in six years.\nThe Southwest Valley Community Plan—which includes Canoga Park\, Winnetka\, West Hills\, and Woodland Hills– has been under consideration since 2017.\nDuring the past four years\, only one presentation was made available to the public about proposed changes to the existing Community Plan—specifically the Woodland Hills area. That presentation was over two years ago\, where the Community Plan Map showed four proposed possible changes. Two-plus years later\, we don’t know the decisions made after Planning received the community comments.\nWHEREAS\, the Planning Department of the City of Los Angeles has been considering making changes to the existing Southwest Community Plan that includes the Woodland Hills and Warner Center areas since 2017; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the most recent public update of items proposed for alterations to the Woodland Hills-Warner Center area was made available to the public at a date in 2019; and\,\nWHEREAS\, significant development is currently occurring or is being proposed throughout the Woodland Hills-Warner Center portion of the Southwest Valley Community Plan and may not conform to the future plans being designed by the Planning Department; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the residents\, businesses\, and property owners of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center area of the Southwest Valley Community Plan deserve a more recent update of all proposed changes being considered and evaluated by the Planning Department for inclusion in a new Southwest Valley Community Plan; and\,\nWHEREAS\, planning is now in the “Consult” Phase of their procedures\, and they have yet to release their CEQA DEIR report\, their draft GPLU map\, and draft Zoning map\, and the Woodland Hills-Warner Center community do not have a clear and up-to-date idea of what changes or modifications planning is even considering; and\,\nWHEREAS\, stakeholders of the community\, including our Board Members\, have expressed concerns regarding implementing the new zoning code across our neighborhoods. They have not received updates on any changes City Planning is considering for the past two years; and\,\nWHEREAS\, they believe they should have a voice in making Community Plan decisions before anything becomes established.\nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies (WHIP) Committee requests the City of Los Angeles Southwest Community Plan Team to schedule and hold a presentation for the community with interactive discussion time. This presentation should occur as part of an upcoming meeting of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board to illustrate and explain all proposed policies and zoning changes to the Woodland Hills section of the Southwest Valley Community Plan.\nPage 7 of 9\nFURTHERMORE\, the Woodland Hills Impacts and Policies Committee recommends WHWCNC Board President Joyce Fletcher send a letter requesting this presentation to the following City officials and coordinate the scheduling of this event ASAP:\nVince Bertoni\, Director of City Planning Vince.Bertoni@LACity.org\nShana Bonstin\, Deputy Director of Community Planning Shana.Bonstin@LACity.org\nRebecca Valdez\, Principal City Planner Rebecca.Valdez@LACity.org\nAndy Rodriguez\, Senior City Planner Andy.Rodriguez@LACity.org\nBob Blumenfield\, CD-3 Councilmember Councilmember.Blumenfield@LACity.org\nElizabeth Eny\, CD-3 Planning Deputy Elizabet.Ene@LACity.org\nVahid Khorsand\, Mayor’s West Valley Area Rep.

County Medical Examiner-Coroner\, which only includes deaths investigated by the L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner; and\,\nWHEREAS\, Emphasis is focused on finding available housing in the West Valley\, specifically temporary housing within Woodland Hills; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the 2020 (last recorded homeless Count) Homeless Count by Community/City shows that there are 97 homeless individuals in the city of Woodland Hills; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the need for PSH and AH is in great need in the West Valley to support unhoused individuals;\nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Homelessness Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS Council File 21-0054.\n3.

approve the plans and recommended considerations for the project at 5500 North Canoga Ave.\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367 and made a recommendation to Councilman Bob Blumenfield and the LA City Department of Planning that the project be approved for Warner Center; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the Applicant has agreed to continue and abide by the considerations already written into the WHWCNC Board

Department of Transportation (LADOT) /       Fiscal Year 2021- 22 Legislative Proposals \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                  (10 minutes) \n  \nMOTION to submit the following Community Impact Statement and survey support documents to the Office of Councilmember Blumenfield and City Council: \n  \nWHEREAS\, we recognize that there are a variety of opinions regarding methods employed to create safer roadways for all\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council sent an online survey to the 2\,168 individuals on our contact list requesting feedback on a variety of methods to address the issues of excessive speed and reckless driving.  The WHWC NC provides the following summary of the results as  well as the attached comprehensive list of input (with individual emails redacted) for your review. \nPARTIAL SUMMARY \nResponses: 218 \n\n88% of the respondents were residents of Woodland Hills.\nA majority of respondents agreed that issues of unsafe driving\, excessive speed\, dangers to pedestrians & cyclists are growing problems and that there is a need for additional enforcement.\n83% agreed (67% strongly/16% somewhat) increased penalties for repeat offenders and there was broad support that additional traffic officers were needed to solve the problem.\n55% of respondents agreed (somewhat to strongly) that they would support a test program of ASE    on roadways known to have significant reckless driving activity.  32% of respondents would not support (somewhat to strongly) ASE.\nThe majority generally supported all of the potential solutions polled.  Additionally\, respondents provided specific ideas and requests regarding this issue.\n\ncc: LAPD Topanga\, LAPD Valley Traffic\, Julia Thayne (Office of the Mayor)                                              See posted support documents. \n  \nItem No. (26) WHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(21-026) WHWCNC CIS related to Council File CF-21-0002-S18 \nOpposition to SB 9 \n  \nDiscussion and Possible action:                                                                                 (15 minutes) \n  \nA recommendation from the WHIP Committee for a Board Resolution in support of City Opposition  to SB 9 in Council File CF-21-0002-S18. \n  \nWHEREAS\, SB9 requires cities (including Charter) and counties to provide for ministerial (by-right) approval of duplexes and a parcel map dividing a lot into two parcels \n  \nWHEREAS\, SB 9 imposes and facilitates “lot splitting\,” i.e.\, the subdivision of a parcel or parcels into additional buildable lots and removes the administrative and environmental reviews that currently apply       to such process. \nWHEREAS\, SB9 provides for the ministerial (“by right”) approval of duplex (two residential units) construction and prohibits a local agency from requiring dedication of rights-of-way or offsite or onsite improvements for parcels created by a lot split. \nWHEREAS\, current R-1 zones have a minimum lot size of 5\,000 square feet which can be divided into   2500 square foot lots and then again divided into 1\,250 square foot lots\, thereby quadrupling density    without CEQA review; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB 9 prohibits objective standards that would effectively limit the splitting of parcels; and \nWHEREAS\, in a city like Los Angeles\, that already suffers from too little open space and tree canopy to mitigate climate change\, the added development will only exacerbate those problems for mitigation; and\, \nWHEREAS\, if passed\, SB 9 will cause poorly planned housing development that will materially increase density\, without creating the essential new infrastructure that the helter-skelter added density will require      to sustain itself; and\, \nWHEREAS\, SB 9 claims the statewide shortage of affordable housing as justification for its actions; and\, \nWHEREAS\, there is no evidence that the unmanaged increased density will help alleviate our city’s    problem of insufficient affordable housing; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the state’s housing industry cannot construct enough housing for various reasons to fill the housing gap and match growth such that market forces can never drive down prices with surpluses; \nNOW\, THEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED\, the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council support a Resolution of the Los Angeles City Council to include in its 2021 -2022 State Legislative Program OPPOSITION to Senate Bill 9 authored by Senator Atkins\, which seeks to require cities and counties\, including charter cities such as Los Angeles\, to provide ministerial (“by right”) approval of a housing development containing two residential units (a duplex)\, and a parcel map dividing a lot into two equal parts (“lot split”)\, for residential use; and exempts environmental review; and would approve these projects without discretionary review\, or a public hearing; thereby imposing bad planning and the undermining of local land use control and the concept of “Home Rule.” \nItem No. (27) Community Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \n(21-027) WHWCNC CIS related to Stop the Closure of the West Valley Animal Shelter \nCouncil File 20-1114 – COVID-19 / West Valley Animal Shelter / Long Term Plan \n  \nDiscussion and Possible action:                                                                                 (15 minutes) \n  \nMotion for the board to support the draft motion submitted by Councilmember Lee and Councilmember Blumenfield to stop the proposed closure of the West Valley Animal Shelter as a municipal shelter. The \nWest Valley Animal Shelter must continue to be a fully functioning municipal animal shelter that \nprovides much needed services to the residents and animals of the West Valley. \n  \nWhereas the Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) Department’s draft Proposal dated June 26\, 2020 to \nturn the West Valley Animal Shelter into a privately run Community Resource Center would result in significant loss of City services for the people and animals of the West San Fernando Valley; and \n  \nWhereas it would result in overburdening the only other city animal shelter in the Valley\, the East Valley Animal Shelter; and \n  \nWhereas it would be inequitable because the entire burden of the LAAS budget cut is being visited on one area of the City\, the West Valley; \n  \nand is overwhelmingly opposed by the residents of the West Valley and Los Angeles; and \n  \nWhereas the citizens of the West Valley and Los Angeles have provided extensive taxpayer money to maintain the West Valley Animal Shelter and there are alternatives to the draft Proposal that would maintain the West Valley Shelter as a fully functioning municipal animal shelter; \n  \nTherefore\, the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly opposes the LAAS draft Proposal for the West Valley Animal Shelter. Further\, the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board supports the position of the Valley Alliance of Neighborhood Councils (VANC) and the residents of the West Valley in demanding that the West Valley Shelter remain open as a municipal shelter. \nSee posted support documents. \n  \n\n Area Reports – (15 minutes)\n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Komalpreet Kaur Batth\, Mark Schwartz \nArea 2 – Brian Drapkin\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\, Ray Cole \nArea 3 – Nancy McLean\, Angela Dawson\, John Sandy Campbell\, Alex Farassati \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – Peter Fletcher\, Austin Rocker \nArea 6 – Gilbert Yablon\, Heath Kline\, Lauren Coffman\, August Steurer \nArea 7 – Ginny Sand\, Joyce Fletcher\, Houtan Hormozian \nAt-Large – Sheppard Kaufman \nYouth Member – Vacant \n  \n\n Committee Reports (15 minutes)\n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler and Joyce Fletcher\, Co-Chairs \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nEducation Committee – Vacant \nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair \nHomelessness Committee – Ray Cole\, Chair \nPLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair \nPublic Safety and Transportation Committee – Sheppard Kaufman\, Chair \nTechnology & Social Engagement (formerly Community Outreach) Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair \nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc – Westfield Promenade 2035 Project – Joyce Fletcher \nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

Woodland Hills\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \nWHEREAS\, the restaurant has been serving beer and wine for on-site consumption in accordance with approved CUBs for at least 10 years\, with no reported related negative incidents; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has agreed to continue to comply with the conditions stated in the current CUB ZA-2014-2731-CUB\, with additional operating hours to include breakfast daily from 8:00 am. to 11:30 am.\, which can result in some additional traffic and street parking during those times; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant is requesting to reclassify the rear dining room portion of the building from a long existing retail designation to restaurant designation to be consistent with current use. This maintains not only the needed balance between interior restaurant floor area and the floor area of the exterior patio\, but also triggers the requirement to provide more on-site parking spaces than are currently available. The restaurant is unlikely to survive without the use designation change; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant is proposing to extend the rear of the building by approximately 5.5 feet adding 251.7 sq ft new area to the existing unapproved 180 sq ft. to accommodate an enlarged prep. area and a new storage and refrigeration room. An on-site review revealed the need for the additional space for more efficient and safer operation of the restaurant\, and that there will be no impact to the parking area; and\, \nWHEREAS\, at the conclusion of the changes to the building and space reclassification\, the seating capacity of the interior rear dining area and the remaining patio will be unchanged. However 4 dining spaces will be removed from the interior front dining area which will be converted to a reception area\, and the small front patio will be converted to a waiting area with limited seats and no dining; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant plans to make adjustments to the facility for ADA compliance and to add one handicapped parking space for ADA compliance\, leaving an additional 2 tandem spaces plus 4 bicycle spaces (equal to 1 auto space); and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant\, unable to find suitable alternatives to long existing insufficient on-site parking spaces and alternatives to vehicles backing from the parking lot on to a public street\, is requesting variances for those items; and\, \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has agreed to continue conducting all barbecue cooking activities inside the facility and to add a scrubber to the exhaust to minimize the amount of contaminants exiting to the outside; and\, \nWHEREAS\, applicant surveys of surrounding neighbors confirmed\, by signed letters\, support for the planned changes to the facility and restaurant operation. \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that for the findings and conditions stated herein: \nThe PLUM Committee supports renewal of the existing CUB for serving beer and wine on-site with increase in hours of operation for breakfast; and\,\nThe PLUM Committee supports changing the former retail designated portion of the building to restaurant use\, including variances for insufficient on-site parking spaces and vehicles backing onto a public street; and\, \nThe PLUM Committee does not support enlarging the unapproved 180 sq ft. prep. area\, adding a storage and refrigeration room\, for a total of 431.7 sq ft. additional space for restaurant use. \nConditions: \n1) All plans presented on November 10\, 2020 at the Board Meeting of the Woodland Hills –Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) shall be dated as such and re-submitted to Planning as an (updated) project application submittal. \n2) The applicant will not submit any significant\, further plans without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support. \n3) Any further modifications to the site plan\, elevation(s) and architecture will be presented to the WHWCNC for support before submitting them to City Planning. \nFURTHERMORE\, 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 receive only partial support for this application as presented on December 9\, 2020.\n_________________________________________________ \nItem No. (6) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair\n(20-090) Case No. ZA-2017-84 New home construction\n4798 N. Abargo\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\nDiscussion and Possible action: \nMOTION:\nAs pertaining to ZA-2017-841 a proposed residence at 4798 N. Abargo Street Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\, having held Five (5) public meetings for the application filed by the property applicant Carol Chan\, concerning the new construction\, use & maintenance of a proposed one family dwelling of 1\,300 sq. ft. with one covered parking space; and\, \nWhereas\, the property is a substandard lot of only 2\,500 SF in the Girard Tract and fronts on the un-vacated part of Abargo Street; and \nWhereas\, the project applicant is requesting a Zoning Administrator’s Determination for: \n1) The construction of a SFR to abut an existing roadway of less than 20 feet; \n2) The construction of a SFR on a roadway of less than 20 feet which will not be improved by the applicant; \n3) Relief from the BHO requirement of a minimum 5’ front yard setback in exchange for a zero front yard setback and \n4) Approval of compliance with the Girard Tract Specific Plan even though not complying with the parking requirement; and \nWhereas\, the 1\,300 SF single family residence proposed is requesting the following Variances: \n5) Relief from the BHO requirement of 24 ft in height within the first 20 feet measured from the centerline of the roadway\, and instead allow a height of 45 feet\, which in this case\, would be measured from the non-vacated portion of Abargo; \n6) Relief from the BHO limitation of the envelope Height of 33 feet and stepped back massing shape determined by the Projecting Plane\, and Relief from the BHO limitation of an overall building height of 33 feet measured from the lowest finished or natural grade; \n7) Relief from the Girard Tract Specific Plan requirement of a minimum of two covered on-site parking spaces in exchange for one onsite covered parking space and one tandem driveway space; and \nWhereas\, the ONLY pedestrian access from the garage to the entry deck is via the main entry stair located in the city owned non-vacated portion of Arable Street and whose construction will require a revocable permit from Public Works\, and \nWhereas\, the proposed structure is located on the rear portion of the property and the second story does not step back from the first story and therefore overlooks the east neighbor’s back yard\, \nTherefore the PLUM committee\, with respect to the Zoning Administrator’s Determination items\, supports in part the applicants request for relief for items 1\, 2\, and 4\, and denies in part the applicant’s request of item 3 which is relief from a minimum 5’ front yard setback in exchange for a zero front yard setback. \nAnd\, the PLUM committee\, with respect to the Variance items\, supports in part the applicant’s request for relief for item 7\, one covered on-site parking space\, and denies in part the applicant’s request of relief for items 5 and 6\, which address the limitation of building height in a hillside area. \nConditions:\n1) The PLUM committee strongly encourages the applicant to have the Abargo Street vacated or the main front entry stair redesigned to not be located in the non-vacated area of Abargo Street. The PLUM committee does not support the requirement of a revocable permit for the main entry into the residence. \n2) All plans presented on at the Board Meeting of the Woodland Hills –Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) on October 15\, 2020 shall be dated as such and resubmitted to Planning as an (updated) project application submittal. \n3) Additionally\, all conditions herein shall be printed on the Project Summary page as a commitment to and acceptance of these conditions. \n4) The applicant and owner will not submit any significant further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support. \n5) The Applicant shall provide traffic control and flaggers and post signs whenever there are materials deliveries or when hauling dirt\, pouring concrete or conducting work that will disrupt traffic flow for more than 5 minutes. All equipment remaining on-site shall be stored in the onsite parking area. \n6) The applicant will submit a drainage plan for the site detailing how they are going to collect roof drainage on the property and specify if they have LID planters \nTherefore\, it is hereby resolved that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings stated herein\, recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the Los Angeles Department of City Planning and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield that the project has received support in part and denial in part on the above specified items from the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested action at the Full Board meeting on December 9\, 2020. \n(Committee Meeting Input: Applicant Carol Chan commented on the motion. Public Comment was received from 1 stakeholder who opposed the project.)\n_________________________________________________ \nItem No. (7) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair\n(20-091) Case No. DIR-2020-1334 Project permit compliance review\n4924 N.
