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 the costs of necessities associated with the music arts education and opportunities for one of only two public high schools in Woodland Hills.\nThe grant will benefit the school’s marching band\, color guard\, jazz ensembles\, concert band\, orchestra and choral ensemble.\nThis grant will greatly help in making sure that all students have access to our proven music arts programs and that it can provide high caliber education to any student in our community.\nThe marching band has proudly represented Woodland Hills as it won numerous competitions throughout the years (including LAUSD and SCSBOA Championships) and supports the entire school at pep rallies\, sports events\, graduation and other events.\nIt is active in community service as well by participating in local events such as the local Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day parades\, performing at the Light the Night event\, and providing holiday music at Candy Cane Lane.\nTaft music education is free\, but many students’ families cannot afford to help pay for the additional related necessities.

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. Vahid.Khorsand@LACity.org\nItem No. (36) Homelessness Committee – Ray Cole\, Chair\n(21-036) Community Impact Statement (CIS) – Council File 21-0054\nDiscussion and Possible action: (15 minutes)\nTo: Councilman Bob Blumenfield\nRe: Council File 21-0054\nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) SUPPORTS Council File 21-0054 for the City Council to support an expedited review for permanent supportive housing (PSH) projects.\nIt calls for a maximum review per submittal time of 15 business days for projects that build the most amount of PSH and affordable housing (AH).\nIt also looks at a streamlined process to promote a tiered structure that prioritizes the construction of the largest PSH and AH projects and takes into account the complexity and scale of the projects.\nIt also examines the that the departments that streamline the projects form a central coordination hub for expediting homeless and affordable housing.\nWHEREAS\, in 2020 1\,371 homeless individuals died on the streets per the L.A. 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.

Previously approved parking spaces for Building #4 to be retained.\n\n  \nAs pertains to Case ZA-2018-7428-ELD-SPP-MCUP for the Speiker Senior Continuing Community Care Project which was approved by a vote of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council on July 8\, 2020\, and for which the Applicant (Speiker Senior Development Partners) has now     made a request to amend and enhance the proposed project\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council has already voted to 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 approval of July 8\, 2020; and \n  \nWHEREAS the requested changes presented to the PLUM Committee for consideration and evaluation at their January 21\, 2021 meeting have been determined that they will actually enhance the construction of Building #1 and greatly improve the prospects of completing and leasing the Building #4 office tower; and \n  \nWHEREAS the requested changes will amplify the potential to attract new commercial prospects to the Commerce District of Warner Center and balance the project’s residential/commercial space equation required by the 2035 WC Specific Plan\, and \n  \nWHEREAS a reduction of 95 of the previously proposed 899 parking spaces to 804 spaces because of an upgrade to Type I construction still fulfills the project’s Commerce District parking requirements specified   in the 2035 WC Specific Plan\, and\, \n  \nWHEREAS the reduction in height of the Building #4 tower from 34 floors to 26 floors will reduce the building’s presence over the 101 Freeway

2020. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, recommends that\, regarding the reduction in project

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.

and \n  \nWHEREAS\, these documents include driver licenses\, birth certificates\, Permanent Resident Cards\, naturalization certificates\, Social Security cards\, paycheck stubs\, and other vital documents; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, unhoused individuals typically face extraordinary hurdles and barriers to replace these documents lost during sanctioned City clean-up operations and activities; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, these hurdles and barriers include a lack of funds or administrative or technical resources and assistance to re-apply for these vital documents\, as well as lengthy application processes; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, unhoused individuals need these vital documents when seeking housing of any type\, such that their loss results in a prolongation of their periods of homelessness; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the loss of vital documents during clean-up activities has revealed a great need for a way to protect important and valuable documents of the unhoused community from City-mandated and -sponsored sweeps; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, an effective approach toward protecting these documents is to provide\, free of charge to the unhoused person\, a durable\, City-protected\, resealable envelope that is easily identifiable by all City personnel or City-funded personnel working as part of LAHSA Homeless Engagement Teams; Mobile Hygiene Services; Cleaning and Rapid Engagement Teams (CARE and CARE+); and the LAPD’s HOPE teams; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, such an envelope would be transparent and stamped with the City of Los Angeles official seal so that when a clean-up is being conducted\, City employees and officials can easily identify it as a Vital-Documents Envelope and handle it with special care\, recognizing that it contains important documents; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, City personnel conducting clean-ups will be notified by their respective departments that the envelopes are legally protected from being seized and discarded during clean-up operations and are to be returned to the owner if they are inadvertently taken during the clean-up; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, if\, due to circumstances beyond the control of the clean-up teams\, Vital-Documents Envelopes end up in their possession\, a notice will be posted at the clean-up site with contact details as to how an unhoused person may retrieve their Vital-Documents Envelope; these details include the name of a human being to call and email\, the address of the physical location where the Vital-Documents Envelope will be kept safe\, a phone number\, an email address\, and a URL containing all of these details; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the use of a Vital-Documents Envelope will reduce the risk of losing important documents\, which are needed to support unhoused individuals’ efforts to leave their dire situations; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, having clean-up-proof documents will quicken the process of finding housing; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, durable\, sealable and waterproof envelopes will help protect documents from being damaged by weather or other external forces; keeping documents clean and undamaged benefits the office personnel at homeless-services agencies and organizations in the Continuum of Care because office workers will encounter better-organized and cleaner documents rather than soiled\, torn\, and faded ones; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, these Vital-Documents Envelopes should be offered to each unhoused person who makes contact with a homeless-services agency or organization or a lead agency operating in the City under the umbrella of the Mayor’s Unified Homelessness Response Center (UHRC) and/or the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA); and \n  \nWHEREAS\, outreach workers from any homeless-services agency or organization or lead agency should offer these Vital-Documents Envelopes to unhoused individuals with a clear explanation of how these envelopes will protect their documents from being seized and discarded during City clean-up activities; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, these Vital-Documents Envelopes should be purchased by the City of Los Angeles from its list of approved vendors and provided to every homeless-services agency and organization and lead agency conducting outreach to unhoused people; \n  \nTHEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: \nThe Homelessness Committee of the WHWCNC ADVISES the board of the Woodland Hills–Warner Center Neighborhood Council to APPROVE this proposal for Vital-Documents Envelopes and to URGE Councilmember Bob Blumenfield and his colleagues on the Los Angeles City Council to immediately and urgently devise a cost-sharing arrangement with the County of Los Angeles to realize the purchase\, allocation\, and distribution of Vital-Documents Envelopes to all homeless-services agencies and organizations operating under the umbrella of the UHRC and/or LAHSA for the purpose of distribution to each unhoused Angeleno who comes into contact with these agencies and organizations. \n  \nROLL CALL VOTE \n  \nItem No. (8) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair     – Marty \n(20-079) Case No. ZA-2020-4646-CUB     New Development – The Variel Senior Housing Facility  \n6233-6279 Variel Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action: \n  \nMotion pertaining to The Variel (Senior Housing Facility) in the College Zone of Warner Center\, at 6233-6279 Variel Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364 \nAs pertaining to Case ZA-2020-4646-CUB\, having held one virtual public PLUM meeting (accessible on Zoom) for issuance of a Conditional Use Permit (CUB) allowing for a full line of alcohol on-site consumption in a 413\,111-square foot\, 8-story Senior Housing Facility with 336 resident and guest units and providing approximately 570 indoor seats and 86 outdoor seats in areas where alcohol will be primarily served.

The Brahma Pantry serves students by helping them meet their basic needs\, but the pandemic-related campus closure has made it difficult to help alleviate food insecurity among the student population. Meeting food costs was difficult for many students before the pandemic and has become increasingly difficult because of employment loss and the looming threat of evictions. The committee’s fact-finding activities include several conversations between committee members and the pantry manager\, as well as a visit to the pantry; a tour of the pantry last fall by three committee members; research on the plight of California community college students by the committee; and a Q&A with the pantry manager\, D’arcy Corwin\, at the August 2020 Education Committee meeting.

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 sqft new area to the existing unapproved 180 sqft. 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 barbeque 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. \n  Conditions: \n\nAll 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.\nThe applicant will not submit any significant\, further plans without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support.\n\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 November 10\, 2020. \nROLL CALL VOTE \n  \nItem No. (13) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman\, Chair      \n(20-084) Case No. ZA-2017-84     New home construction  \n4798 N. Abargo \, Woodland Hills CA 91364 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action: \n  \nMOTION: \nAs pertaining to ZA-2017-841 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\, 1\,300 SF\, with one covered parking space \n  \nWhereas\, the property is a substandard lot of only 2\,500 SF in the Girard Tract and fronts on the \nunvacated part of Abargo Street; and \n  \nWhereas\, the project applicant is requesting a Zoning Administrator’s Determination for: \n  \n\nThe construction of a SFR to abut an existing roadway of less than 20 feet;\n\n  \n\nThe construction of a SFR on a roadway of less than 20 feet which will not be improved by the applicant;\n\n  \n\nRelief from the BHO requirement of a minimum 5’ front yard setback in exchange for a zero front yard setback and\n\n  \n\nApproval of compliance with the Girard Tract Specific Plan even though not complying with the parking requirement; and\n\n  \nWhereas\, the 1\,300 SF singe family residence proposed is requesting the following Variances: \n  \n\nRelief 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;\n\n  \n\nRelief 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;\n\n  \n\nRelief 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\n\n  \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 \n  \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\, \n  \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. \n  \nAnd\, the PLUM committee\, with respect to the Variance items\, supports in part the applicants request for relief for item \n7\, 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 \nhillside area. \n  \nConditions \n\nThe 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.\n\nThe PLUM committee does not support the requirement of a revocable permit for the main entry into the residence. \n  \n\nAll 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.\n\n  \n\nAdditionally\, all conditions herein shall be printed on the Project Summary page as a commitment to and acceptance of these conditions.\n\n  \n\nThe applicant and owner will not submit any significant further updated plans or changes without first presenting them to the WHWCNC for support.\n\n  \n\nThe 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.\n\n  \n\nThe 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\n\n  \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 \nNeighborhood Council for the requested action at the Full Board meeting on November 11\, 2020. \nApplicant Carol Chan commented on the motion.

C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\,\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 for which they paid; and\,\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 for which they paid; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\,\nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning for which they paid; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\,\nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date 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 this application.\nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 22838 Erwin Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council.\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 this application as presented on October 14\, 2020.\nItem No. (9) WHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair\n(20-066) Resolution related to Budget Advocates and Congress of Neighborhoods\nDiscussion and possible action:\nHonorable Mayor Garcetti\nWHEREAS\, this past September\, the City created a Fiscal Restraint policy mandating all City Departments to propose reducing their budgets by 3% across all spending sources for the Fiscal Year 2020-2021. For the budget of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE)\, that department head complied and tried to make reductions that would have the least detrimental impacts on several of the Neighborhood Council system’s critical support services\, and programs.\nWHEREAS\, DONE has proposed a new budget that is reduced by $84\,000 which impacts several services and programs that provide Neighborhood Councils across the City with the means to assist us to better serve each of our respective areas. Among those groups are the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates and the Congress of Neighborhoods.\nWHEREAS\, we recognize that the Los Angeles City Budget is becoming severely unbalanced; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the City is looking for ways to find money to balance its budget; and\,\nWHEREAS\, funds for organizations such as the NC Budget Advocates and activities such as the Congress of Neighborhoods provide critical support for the activities and functions of both Neighborhood Councils and City Departments and Agencies; and\,\nWHEREAS\, unspent funds allocated to these valuable groups may be in jeopardy of being taken back by the City; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the City has already reduced the funding of Neighborhood Councils for 2020-2021; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council does not believe Neighborhood Council and support groups like NC Budget Advocates and Congress of Neighborhoods funding should be reduced more than has already been done;\nTherefore\, while we recognize that the City faces a massive budget due to the continuing Covoid-19 pandemic\, and we understand that every City department will have to trim their expenditures\, we request that the reduced financial appropriations to these two DONE programs be limited to what has already been proposed by the department head\, and that funding for the rest of the year not be reduced to any more than has already been done.\nTherefore\, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies (WHIP) Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland – Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council take stand to oppose any further City efforts to take funds that Neighborhood Councils have dedicated to these types of supporting entities.\nFURTHERMORE\, the Council Board should make the City Council and the Mayor aware of its opposition to taking those funds through letters to each Councilmember\, the Mayor\, Empower LA plus the City Clerk and Controller.\nItem No. (10 ) Sheppard Kaufman\, Vice President\n(20-067) Committee Roster\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion for the board to approve the WHWCNC Committee Roster for fiscal year 2020-2021.\nSee attached committee roster ROLL CALL VOTE\nItem No. (11) Community Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\n(20-068) Resolution related to Illegal Fireworks\nDiscussion and possible action:\nTo: Councilmember Bob Blumemfield\nRe: Illegal Fireworks in Los Angeles\nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council SUPPORTS enforcement of the illegal firework ordinance.\nFor fireworks\, under California Health and Safety Code Fireworks penalty\, Section 127000 states “Any person who violates any provisions of the State Fireworks laws or Regulations is guilty of a misdemeanor.\nA misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not less than $500\, but not to exceed $1\,000 by imprisonment in the county jail for up to one year\, or both”.\nFor dangerous fireworks\, Under the California Health and Safety Code Fireworks Penalties\, Section 12700(b)\, a person in the possession of unaltered dangerous fireworks is in violation of the State Fireworks Law is punishable as a misdemeanor or a public offense with fines ranging from $500 to more than $50\,000\, depending on the gross weight of unaltered dangerous fireworks in possession.\nLocally\, all fireworks are illegal in the City of Los Angeles\, SEC. 57.55.01 (A) Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC).

The Brahma Pantry provides valuable services and support to help students fill gaps in their basic needs\, such as housing\, food\, childcare\, health care\, and educational costs. Meeting food costs was difficult for many students before the pandemic and has become increasingly difficult because of employment loss and the looming threat of evictions. The committee’s fact-finding activities include several conversations between committee member Gina Thornburg and the pantry manager\, as well as a visit to the pantry; a tour of the pantry last fall by three committee members; research on the plight of California community college students by committee member Dan Chernow; and a Q&A with the pantry manager\, D’arcy Corwin\, at the August 2020 Education Committee meeting. Therefore\, the Education Committee finds that: \nWHEREAS a recent research article in Ed Source (https://edsource.org/2020/community-colleges-struggle-with-students-food-needs-as-pandemic-increases-demand/634155) reports that out of 46 responses to an EdSource survey of the 115 community colleges in California\, all 46 have campus food pantries\, with 26 continuing to distribute food despite campus closures. Twenty-one say their food pantries have seen an increase of applications for food and/or an increase in the amount of food being requested; and \nWHEREAS Governor Newsom defunded food pantries on the state’s community college campuses\, removing $11.4 million for them from the California Community Colleges 2020–21 budget (https://www.google.com/search?q=California+Community+Colleges+may+\nrevision+budget&oq=California+Community+Colleges+may+revision+budget&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.12646j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#); and \nWHEREAS LA Pierce College is the sole community college in the Woodland Hills–Warner Center Neighborhood Council district; and\, \nWHEREAS members of the WHWCNC Education Committee have conducted due diligence in understanding the need for monetary donations to support the hunger-alleviation work of the Brahma Pantry; and \nWHEREAS the Foundation for Pierce College is the fiscal agent responsible for receiving and paying out donations to the on-campus Brahma Pantry; \nTHEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the WHWCNC Education Committee recommends that the board of the Woodland Hills–Warner Center Neighborhood Council APPROVE the following Neighborhood Purposes Grant: \nAccording to the Office of the City Clerk Neighborhood Council Funding Program\, issue a Neighborhood Purposes Grant in the amount of $2\,500 to the Foundation for Pierce College\, earmarked solely for the purpose of supporting the Brahma Pantry’s hunger-relief activities\, including grocery-store gift cards for students during the pandemic and the purchase of food items for the physical pantry once the campus is reopened \nSee attached NPG Application and support documents                                     ROLL CALL VOTE \n  \n  \n  \n  \nItem No. (3) PLUM Committee\, Lauren Coffman – Chair \n(20-054) ZA-2019-5326 \n22503 – 22527 Ventura Blvd\,  Woodland Hills\, CA  91364 – In & Out Burger Restaurant \n  \nDiscussion and possible action: \nAs pertains to Case ZA-2019-5326\, having held 5  public meetings (two  virtual) for the application filed by  In-N-Out Burgers\, Inc. regarding a development in the Ventura-Cahuenga Specific Plan section  of Woodland Hills the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \nWHEREAS\, the Applicant has applied for LAMC section 12.24-W17\, a conditional use to permit a drive-thru fast food establishment located in the C4 Zone within 500 feet of an R Zone.

Your constituents are becoming increasingly concerned about the state of the street\, which is not only ugly\, but also hazardous to both pedestrians\, traffic and a veritable safety landmine at night. \nThe President of the board\, Joyce Fletcher discussed the resolution with Michael Owens\, who informed Ms. Fletcher that the  restaurant on the corner (The Villa)  has placed a hold on street repair because they are renovating their building. Does The Villa trump the constituents? Control the repair of a hazardous street? City Planning has kept the hold in place for many years. The restaurant renovation has been endless but should not effect the street or the sidewalk which is getting worse as a result of dereliction. \nAs a backdrop\, the area of concern is outside a normally high traffic area\, the Woodland Hills Library.  As such\, pedestrians of all ages walk the area in all sorts of lighting and weather conditions.  While the surrounding streets have been debrided and repaved\, this high traffic area seems to have been forgotten. We wondered if this was because of some error in mapping and its omission on the Bureau of Street Services? We are aware that there are some missing streets that your office has been diligently trying to locate and suggest that this may be one of the sought after escapees. \nRegardless of why this street has been ignored\, the grim fact is that it remains not only an aesthetic eyesore but a potentially a huge “sore” for anyone whose foot gets stuck in the uneven street\, or a car is damaged by multiple pot holes.  Everyone is aware of the toll badly paved roads takes on our vehicles in terms of repairs. But in an area with high pedestrian traffic\, the fear is heightened by the worry that one of the elderly residents will not be able to safely navigate such a rocky road while in route to our beloved library\, and fall and sue the City. This somber scenario is totally preventable by debridement and repaving. \nThe WCWHNC advocates for our residents. You are our champion in the process. Please champion our concerns and make this slip (hazard) and possible property situation from low priority to high priority status. \nBy way of the original February 2020 Board Resolution\, we request you respond within 30 days and take action on this issue. \nVery truly yours\, \nWoodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nROLL CALL VOTE \n  \n\n Committee Reports \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler and Joyce Fletcher\, Co-Chairs \nCommunity Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nEducation Committee – Bill Anderson\, Chair \nEnvironmental 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 \nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc – Westfield Promenade 2035 Project – Joyce Fletcher \nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

Further\, we request that\, where impacted streets overlap with CHP and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department jurisdictions\, a coordinated enforcement plan be implemented. \nIn addition\, we request that the Los Angeles City Council request that state legislators impose more severe penalties for people who receive 3 excessive speed and/or reckless driving citations within a period of 5 years – including loss or suspension of driver’s license and/or impounding of vehicle. \nIf Los Angeles is going to meet its Vision Zero goals\, it will take a combination of roadway design\, realistic speed limits\, positive reinforcement for good driving\, and legal enforcement for reckless drivers to make LA safer for all who walk\, bike or drive in the City. \nROLL CALL VOTE \n\n Committee Reports \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler and Joyce Fletcher\, Co-Chairs \nCommunity Outreach Committee – Peter Fletcher\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair \nEducation Committee – Bill Anderson\, Chair \nEnvironmental and 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 \nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc – Westfield Promenade 2035 Project – Joyce Fletcher \nAd Hoc Committee – Measure A.

(WHIP Vote 4-0-0)\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Charter Article IX on Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils states no limitations on Neighborhood Council Advocacy; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Attorney has issued a Memorandum on Advocacy [see NC and Ballot Measures-Lobbying-State and Federal Legislation.pdf posted with this agenda] that limits Neighborhood Councils to only advising city agencies; and\,\nWHEREAS\, Neighborhood Councils offer critical grassroots interfacing with all sectors of their communities and have in the past and still\, whenever asked\, continue to give advice to non-city governmental agencies\, contrary to the memorandum; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that limiting advocacy for local issues to the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor\, for a variety of reasons\, severely limits the number of local\, city and regional issues that can reach the officials who need to know; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that a simple disclosure in communications\, which states that a Neighborhood Council represents the position of the community and not the City of Los Angeles\, is adequate to prevent any confusion;\nTHEREFORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council send the following letter associated with this motion addressed to the City Attorney requesting a revision of the Memorandum on Neighborhood Council Advocacy. Additionally\, send courtesy copies to Council Member Blumenfield\, Mayor Eric Garcetti\, Council Member David Ryu\, Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel\, Nicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and Rob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director for City Attorney Mike Feuer.\nMarch 11\, 2020\nHonorable Mike Feuer\nCity Attorney\, Los Angeles\nCity Hall East\n200 N. Main Street\, 8th Floor\nLos Angeles\, CA 90012\nRE: Neighborhood Council Guidance on Local\, County\, State and Federal legislation\nDear City Attorney Feuer:\nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council requests that the City Attorney’s office revise the memorandum on “Neighborhood Councils and Ballot Measures / Lobbying / State and Federal Legislation” to enable Neighborhood Councils to advocate their positions on local\, county state and federal legislation and issues directly to relevant local\, county\, state and federal officials\, including any non-city government agencies\, responsible for the legislation\, or governmental agency interpretation\, or actions at issue.\nAs a first step\, we ask that the City Attorney replace\, in full\, the following Guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions on state and federal legislation to non-City governmental agencies. (Only the Mayor and the City Council have power over intergovernmental relations\, which include advocating the City’s position on laws that are pending with state or federal agencies or before the state legislature or federal government.)\,” and\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions to non-Coty [sic] governmental agencies because Neighborhood Councils\, pursuant to the Charter\, are advisory to the City’s decision-makers.”\nAs a replacement memorandum\, we ask that the City Attorney advise Neighborhood Councils with the following guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may advocate community positions to Non-City governmental agencies because these agencies shape policy\, and procedures\, and implement actions that affect the stakeholders whom Neighborhood Councils represent.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils may\, in an appropriate manner\, advocate community positions on local\, state and federal legislation to the local\, state or federal legislators who represent the district in which the Neighborhood Council exists.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must clearly state that the requests and opinions stated in their communication do not necessarily represent the official position of the City of Los Angeles and solely represent the position of the Neighborhood Council.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must submit to the City Clerk a copy of any written communication seeking/lobbying for actions sent to any government agency which is not part of the City of Los Angeles.”\nWe need to point out to you that throughout the months of December\, January\, and February\, staffers from our respective Senate and Assembly Districts have attended Neighborhood Council Board meetings. Representatives urged Boards to send any legislative requests to their State Senators and Assembly Members so that they can be considered for addition to their 2020 Legislative Agendas.\nCurrent City Attorney guidance currently prohibits Neighborhood Councils from taking any such action.\nAccording to the guidance offered\, Neighborhood Councils have only two options to voice their opinion on proposed legislation. The first is to ask our City Councilperson to advocate for legislation that currently does not exist\, and which he/she will have no responsibility nor ability to create at the state level. The second option is to ask our City Councilperson to forward a letter to state Legislator(s)\, rendering he/she little more than an intermediary messenger.\nThis limitation is impractical and appears to be an attempt to cripple Neighborhood Councils’ ability to advocate causes directly to their elected representatives.\nConsider the following scenarios that demonstrate why current policy does not work:\n1. When a City Councilperson resigns from office\, leaving their seat vacant.\nIf the Neighborhood Council has no current Councilperson\, and the current policy bars them from directly advocating to their local\, county\, state\, or federal legislator\, then how do they advocate on local\, county\, state or federal legislative issues\, or government agency interpretations? The policy leaves communities represented by their Neighborhood Councils without a voice on pressing matters through no fault of their own. Additionally\, proper guidance would not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established (assuming another councilperson could be persuaded and had the capacity to do so).\nA vacant City Council seat should not mute Neighborhood Councils.\n2. When a City Councilperson disagrees with a Neighborhood Council’s advocacy position and fails/refuses to act as a conduit.\nIf a City Councilperson decides\, that it is personally or politically expedient for him/her to ignore the advocacy of a Neighborhood Council\, and then refuses to pass on any concerns or advocate an issue to the local\, state or federal legislators representing a Neighborhood Council\, they effectively suppress the Council’s voice. The Neighborhood Council’s ability to advocate on behalf of its stakeholders is nonexistent. Once again\, proper guidance should not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established. What are the odds of finding a Councilperson willing to go against one of their own?\nNo City Councilperson should have this much control over the voice of the collection of constituents elected to Neighborhood Councils to represent their local communities. One improvement under guidelines would be to allow Neighborhood Council to create Council Files asking for City Council action.\n3. When a City Councilperson is unable to initiate actions on behalf of Neighborhood Councils results in critical deadlines missed.\nIt’s quite likely that a busy City Councilperson will not see or have time to address referring Neighborhood Council communications far enough in advance of critical Public Comment deadlines. Then Neighborhood Councils have lost their ability to voice their concerns or support for policy or critical legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. Moreover\, the cause of this could be nothing more than a matter of the limited District staff resources or inefficient bureaucratic city protocol. These limitations are easily avoidable when Neighborhood Councils can advocate directly to the local\, state\, and federal legislators or agency staff responsible for the matters considered. Why should Neighborhood Councils\, who make efforts to meet deadlines on impacting local\, state\, and federal policy or legislative issues\, be hindered by their City Councilperson from meeting commentary deadlines?\nRequiring Neighborhood Councils to rely on the prompt actions of Councilpersons should not artificially constrain their ability to address pressing policy or legislative matters.\n4. When\, assuming a City Council Member does initiate City action\, limited resources\, along with competing priorities of the City\, result in either slow or no City action\, or the delayed actions result in no advice rendered before deadlines arrive.\nIf the City Council is unable to lobby or misses critical deadlines for Public Comment due to its inability to act or the inability of Departments to respond in time\, then the consequence is that Neighborhood Councils lose their ability to voice their concerns or support for a critical policy or legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. The City and its inhabitants suffer when it fails to timely weigh in. The contributions of Neighborhood Councils fill the gap.\nStifling Neighborhood Councils from addressing important community issues by requiring them to rely on the prompt actions of the City Council or City Departments is obstructive. Current guidance is contrary to the Charter’s intentions.\nWe believe it is our duty to our stakeholders to be able to advocate on their behalf to the local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators and regulatory agencies\, who are directly responsible for enacting legislative agendas and regulatory guidelines promptly.\nForcing Neighborhood Councils to address matters\, which are solely the responsibility of local\, state\, or federal legislators\, through the City Council\, constrains Neighborhood Councils and results in unnecessary bureaucratic delay. It forces Neighborhood Councils to address their concerns to a level of government that has no jurisdiction or control over impending local\, state\, or federal legislative issues. It opens the opportunity to ignore those matters for purely political or bureaucratic reasons. These situations are anathema to the very system of Neighborhood Councils representing their communities at the grass roots level.\nNowhere in Article IX of the City Charter does it explicitly prohibit Neighborhood Councils from directly contacting local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators who represent them or non-city government agencies who have impacts on our local communities.\nCharter Article IX\, Section 900\, which expressly lays out the Purpose of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the creation of the Neighborhood Council system\, states:\n“To promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs\, a citywide system of neighborhood councils and a Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is created. Neighborhood Councils shall include representatives of the many diverse interests in communities and shall have an advisory role on issues of concern to the neighborhood.”\nWe point out that it says “government” implying all levels\, not just the City.\nSimilarly\, contrary to what we are told\, nowhere in the Charter are Neighborhood Councils restricted to communications solely with the City Council and its members. Neighborhood Councils are a separate\, non-subordinate branch of local government\, and therefore should not be under any obligation to channel their communications through City Council representatives.\nThe Charter recognizes that direct communication between the Neighborhood Councils and their local\, county\, state\, and federal policymakers and legislators are vastly superior to a system that requires the Neighborhood Councils to communicate and respond only through the City Council as an intermediary.\nWe hope that you will give this issue every consideration.\nRespectfully yours\,\nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board of Directors\nSee attached support document\nCc: Mayor Eric Garcetti\nCouncilmember Bob Blumenfield\nCouncilmember David Ryu\nCounty Supervisor Sheila Kuel\nAssembly Member Jesse Gabriel\nState Senator Henry Stern\nNicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and\nRob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director\, City Attorney Mike Feuer\nItem No. (5) PLUM Committee\, Lauren Kaufman\, Chair\n(20-022) AA-2018-1610-PMLA – lot split\n5063 N Medina Road\, 91364\nDiscussion and possible action:\nRequest for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to split a property into two\, (updated May 15\, 2019\, from request for three parcels originally) different legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills Community Plan area.\nMotion\nAs pertaining to Case AA-2018-1610-PMLA\, having held two public meeting for an application for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to split a single property into two legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park – Winnetka – Woodland Hills – West Hills Community Plan area\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that:\nWHEREAS\, the subject property located at 5063 N Medina Road\, 91364 is 21\,000 square feet which would allow for two lots of a minimum of 10\,000 sf; and\nWHEREAS\, each of the properties would have direct and separate access\, one on Medina Rd. and the other on Tendilla Ave.; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split apparently will not change the character of the community materially from the existing community development; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split is in keeping with an R1-1 zoned community.\nTHEREFORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings stated herein above\, recommend that the submitted application for the request for a preliminary parcel map subdivision pursuant to LAMC section 17.50 in order to\nsplit a property into two\, legal properties in the R1-1 zone in the Canoga Park – Winnetka – Woodland Hills – West Hills Community Plan area receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council.

(WHIP Vote 4-0-0)\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Charter Article IX on Los Angeles Neighborhood Councils states no limitations on Neighborhood Council Advocacy; and\,\nWHEREAS\, the Los Angeles City Attorney has issued a Memorandum on Advocacy [see NC and Ballot Measures-Lobbying-State and Federal Legislation.pdf posted with this agenda] that limits Neighborhood Councils to only advising city agencies; and\,\nWHEREAS\, Neighborhood Councils offer critical grassroots interfacing with all sectors of their communities and have in the past and still\, whenever asked\, continue to give advice to non-city governmental agencies\, contrary to the memorandum; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that limiting advocacy for local issues to the City Council with the concurrence of the Mayor\, for a variety of reasons\, severely limits the number of local\, city and regional issues that can reach the officials who need to know; and\,\nWHEREAS\, We believe that a simple disclosure in communications\, which states that a Neighborhood Council represents the position of the community and not the City of Los Angeles\, is adequate to prevent any confusion;\nTHEREFORE\, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council send the following letter associated with this motion addressed to the City Attorney requesting a revision of the Memorandum on Neighborhood Council Advocacy. Additionally\, send courtesy copies to Council Member Blumenfield\, Mayor Eric Garcetti\, Council Member David Ryu\, Assembly Member Jesse Gabriel\, Nicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and Rob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director for City Attorney Mike Feuer.\nMarch 11\, 2020\nHonorable Mike Feuer\nCity Attorney\, Los Angeles\nCity Hall East\n200 N. Main Street\, 8th Floor\nLos Angeles\, CA 90012\nRE: Neighborhood Council Guidance on Local\, County\, State and Federal legislation\nDear City Attorney Feuer:\nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council requests that the City Attorney’s office revise the memorandum on “Neighborhood Councils and Ballot Measures / Lobbying / State and Federal Legislation” to enable Neighborhood Councils to advocate their positions on local\, county state and federal legislation and issues directly to relevant local\, county\, state and federal officials\, including any non-city government agencies\, responsible for the legislation\, or governmental agency interpretation\, or actions at issue.\nAs a first step\, we ask that the City Attorney replace\, in full\, the following Guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions on state and federal legislation to non-City governmental agencies. (Only the Mayor and the City Council have power over intergovernmental relations\, which include advocating the City’s position on laws that are pending with state or federal agencies or before the state legislature or federal government.)\,” and\n• “Neighborhood Councils may not advocate their positions to non-Coty [sic] governmental agencies because Neighborhood Councils\, pursuant to the Charter\, are advisory to the City’s decision-makers.”\nAs a replacement memorandum\, we ask that the City Attorney advise Neighborhood Councils with the following guidance:\n• “Neighborhood Councils may advocate community positions to Non-City governmental agencies because these agencies shape policy\, and procedures\, and implement actions that affect the stakeholders whom Neighborhood Councils represent.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils may\, in an appropriate manner\, advocate community positions on local\, state and federal legislation to the local\, state or federal legislators who represent the district in which the Neighborhood Council exists.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must clearly state that the requests and opinions stated in their communication do not necessarily represent the official position of the City of Los Angeles and solely represent the position of the Neighborhood Council.”\n• “Neighborhood Councils must submit to the City Clerk a copy of any written communication seeking/lobbying for actions sent to any government agency which is not part of the City of Los Angeles.”\nWe need to point out to you that throughout the months of December\, January\, and February\, staffers from our respective Senate and Assembly Districts have attended Neighborhood Council Board meetings. Representatives urged Boards to send any legislative requests to their State Senators and Assembly Members so that they can be considered for addition to their 2020 Legislative Agendas.\nCurrent City Attorney guidance currently prohibits Neighborhood Councils from taking any such action.\nAccording to the guidance offered\, Neighborhood Councils have only two options to voice their opinion on proposed legislation. The first is to ask our City Councilperson to advocate for legislation that currently does not exist\, and which he/she will have no responsibility nor ability to create at the state level. The second option is to ask our City Councilperson to forward a letter to state Legislator(s)\, rendering he/she little more than an intermediary messenger.\nThis limitation is impractical and appears to be an attempt to cripple Neighborhood Councils’ ability to advocate causes directly to their elected representatives.\nConsider the following scenarios that demonstrate why current policy does not work:\n1. When a City Councilperson resigns from office\, leaving their seat vacant.\nIf the Neighborhood Council has no current Councilperson\, and the current policy bars them from directly advocating to their local\, county\, state\, or federal legislator\, then how do they advocate on local\, county\, state or federal legislative issues\, or government agency interpretations? The policy leaves communities represented by their Neighborhood Councils without a voice on pressing matters through no fault of their own. Additionally\, proper guidance would not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established (assuming another councilperson could be persuaded and had the capacity to do so).\nA vacant City Council seat should not mute Neighborhood Councils.\n2. When a City Councilperson disagrees with a Neighborhood Council’s advocacy position and fails/refuses to act as a conduit.\nIf a City Councilperson decides\, that it is personally or politically expedient for him/her to ignore the advocacy of a Neighborhood Council\, and then refuses to pass on any concerns or advocate an issue to the local\, state or federal legislators representing a Neighborhood Council\, they effectively suppress the Council’s voice. The Neighborhood Council’s ability to advocate on behalf of its stakeholders is nonexistent. Once again\, proper guidance should not force a Neighborhood Council to work through another Council District\, for which they do not have a relationship established. What are the odds of finding a Councilperson willing to go against one of their own?\nNo City Councilperson should have this much control over the voice of the collection of constituents elected to Neighborhood Councils to represent their local communities. One improvement under guidelines would be to allow Neighborhood Council to create Council Files asking for City Council action.\n3. When a City Councilperson is unable to initiate actions on behalf of Neighborhood Councils results in critical deadlines missed.\nIt’s quite likely that a busy City Councilperson will not see or have time to address referring Neighborhood Council communications far enough in advance of critical Public Comment deadlines. Then Neighborhood Councils have lost their ability to voice their concerns or support for policy or critical legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. Moreover\, the cause of this could be nothing more than a matter of the limited District staff resources or inefficient bureaucratic city protocol. These limitations are easily avoidable when Neighborhood Councils can advocate directly to the local\, state\, and federal legislators or agency staff responsible for the matters considered. Why should\nNeighborhood Councils\, who make efforts to meet deadlines on impacting local\, state\, and federal policy or legislative issues\, be hindered by their City Councilperson from meeting commentary deadlines?\nRequiring Neighborhood Councils to rely on the prompt actions of Councilpersons should not artificially constrain their ability to address pressing policy or legislative matters.\n4. When\, assuming a City Council Member does initiate City action\, limited resources\, along with competing priorities of the City\, result in either slow or no City action\, or the delayed actions result in no advice rendered before deadlines arrive.\nIf the City Council is unable to lobby or misses critical deadlines for Public Comment due to its inability to act or the inability of Departments to respond in time\, then the consequence is that Neighborhood Councils lose their ability to voice their concerns or support for a critical policy or legislative issues that affect their stakeholders. The City and its inhabitants suffer when it fails to timely weigh in. The contributions of Neighborhood Councils fill the gap.\nStifling Neighborhood Councils from addressing important community issues by requiring them to rely on the prompt actions of the City Council or City Departments is obstructive. Current guidance is contrary to the Charter’s intentions.\nWe believe it is our duty to our stakeholders to be able to advocate on their behalf to the local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators and regulatory agencies\, who are directly responsible for enacting legislative agendas and regulatory guidelines promptly.\nForcing Neighborhood Councils to address matters\, which are solely the responsibility of local\, state\, or federal legislators\, through the City Council\, constrains Neighborhood Councils and results in unnecessary bureaucratic delay. It forces Neighborhood Councils to address their concerns to a level of government that has no jurisdiction or control over impending local\, state\, or federal legislative issues. It opens the opportunity to ignore those matters for purely political or bureaucratic reasons. These situations are anathema to the very system of Neighborhood Councils representing their communities at the grass roots level.\nNowhere in Article IX of the City Charter does it explicitly prohibit Neighborhood Councils from directly contacting local\, county\, state\, and federal legislators who represent them or non-city government agencies who have impacts on our local communities.\nCharter Article IX\, Section 900\, which expressly lays out the Purpose of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the creation of the Neighborhood Council system\, states:\n“To promote more citizen participation in government and make government more responsive to local needs\, a citywide system of neighborhood councils and a Department of Neighborhood Empowerment is created. Neighborhood Councils shall include representatives of the many diverse interests in communities and shall have an advisory role on issues of concern to the neighborhood.”\nWe point out that it says “government” implying all levels\, not just the City.\nSimilarly\, contrary to what we are told\, nowhere in the Charter are Neighborhood Councils restricted to communications solely with the City Council and its members. Neighborhood Councils are a separate\, non-subordinate branch of local government\, and therefore should not be under any obligation to channel their communications through City Council representatives.\nThe Charter recognizes that direct communication between the Neighborhood Councils and their local\, county\, state\, and federal policymakers and legislators are vastly superior to a system that requires the Neighborhood Councils to communicate and respond only through the City Council as an intermediary.\nWe hope that you will give this issue every consideration.\nRespectfully yours\,\nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board of Directors\nSee attached support document\nCc: Mayor Eric Garcetti\nCouncilmember Bob Blumenfield\nCouncilmember David Ryu\nCounty Supervisor Sheila Kuel\nAssembly Member Jesse Gabriel\nState Senator Henry Stern\nNicholas Grief\, Chief of Staff for Council Member David Ryu\, and\nRob Wilcox\, Community Engagement & Outreach Director\, City Attorney Mike Feuer\nItem No. (6) Public Safety and Transportation Committee\, Sheppard Kaufman Chair\n(20-021) Ordinance amending LAMC Section 63.41\nTo allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, in accordance with state law\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion for the WHWC Neighborhood Council Board to support amending LAMC Section 63.41 as presented by Councilmember Joe Buscaino\, 15th District:\nThe Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) currently has 22 sworn City of Los Angeles park rangers assigned to its Park Ranger Division. The staffing levels are anticipated to expand to 50 rangers by mid-2020. Every day\,\npark rangers patrol the City’s parks day and night\, often in remote and desolate areas of the City\, and assist other City law enforcement agencies\, including the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Approximately 70 percent of a ranger’s daily duties are related to law enforcement activities and the first responder to an emergency in a City park is likely to be a park ranger.\nEvery sworn park ranger assigned to RAP’s Park Ranger Division is required to complete a six-month Certified Academy Training Course\, which includes\, among other things\, firearm training. The course is administered by California Police Officer Standard and Training (CAPOST)\, which regulates standards and training for all California law enforcement agencies throughout the state. CAPOST recognizes the City of Los Angeles Park Ranger Division and its sworn personnel as a law enforcement agency with full police powers to detain\, arrest\, book criminal violators\, conduct investigations into criminal activity\, and beyond. RAP park rangers are also considered full law enforcement officers under California Penal Code (CPC) section 830.1 and have full police powers throughout the State of California.\nFor the protection of the public and for the safety of all law enforcement officers in the City\, it is necessary to amend LAMC section 63.41\, to allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, as authorized by CPC §830.31 (b) which states\, “ a person designated by a local agency as a park ranger\, who is regularly employed and paid in that capacity\, and whose primary duty is the protection of parks\, may be armed by their employing agency.”\nPark rangers should have the full ability to utilize all law enforcement tools and equipment to ensure the safety and security of the public under all circumstances.\nI THEREFORE MOVE that the City Attorney be DIRECTED to prepare and present an ordinance amending LAMC Section 63.41 to allow park rangers to be armed while on duty\, in accordance with state law.\nI FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks be DIRECTED to report back on the department’s plans for Use of Force policies; tactics and training; partnership\, if any\, with the Los Angeles Police Department on Categorical Uses of Force Investigations; counseling and psychological evaluations following a Categorical Use of Force incidents; and the budgetary impacts of the proposed program to arm park rangers.\nI FURTHER MOVE that the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Los Angeles Police Department be DIRECTED to report back with policies and procedures for the implementation of the proposed program to arm\npark rangers. (By: Councilmember Joe Buscaino\, 15th District)\nTherefore\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends the Board of the WHWCNC support Council File 20-0190 directing the City Attorney to present an amendment to LAMC 63.41allowing the LA City Park Rangers to be armed and further directing the Department of Recreation and Parks and Los Angeles Police Department to report back to the City Council and Committees on the proposed policies and procedures for implementing the proposed program.\nItem No. (7) Public Safety and Transportation Committee\, Sheppard Kaufman\, Chair\n(20-022) Funding for a WHWC NC Booth at CD3/Blumenfield April 18\, 2020 Emergency Preparedness Fair\nDiscussion and possible action:\nMotion to allocate up to $100 from the Public Safety Committee budget for the purchase of refreshments\nand copy services for NC emergency prep handouts if the NC staffs a booth at the CD3 Emergency Preparedness Fair.
