Instructions on how to sign up for public comment will be given to listeners at the start of the meeting. When calling-in telephonically\, the public is requested to dial *9\, when prompted by the presiding officer\, to address the Board on any agenda item before the Board takes an action on an item. Zoom users should use the “raise hand” feature. \nAB 361 Updates: Public comment cannot be required to be submitted in advance of the meeting\, only real-time public comment is required. If there are any broadcasting interruptions that prevent the public from observing or hearing the meeting\, the meeting must be recessed or adjourned. If members of the public are unable to provide public comment or be heard due to issues within the Neighborhood Council’s control\, the meeting must be recessed or adjourned. \nAny messaging or virtual background is in the control of the individual board member in their personal capacity and does not reflect any formal position of the Neighborhood Council or the City of Los Angeles. \n*PUBLIC INPUT ON AGENDA ITEMS – The public may address the Board on any agenda item before the Board takes an action on an item. Comments from the public on agenda items will be heard only when the respective item is being considered. Public comment is limited to 2) minute per speaker. \n*PUBLIC INPUT ON MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA – Comments from the public on other matters not appearing on the agenda that are within the Board’s jurisdiction will be heard during the General Public Comment period. Please note that under the Brown Act\, the Board is prevented from acting on a matter that you bring to its attention during the General Public Comment period; however\, the issue raised by a member of the public may become the subject of a future Board meeting. \nPublic Comment is limited to (2) minute per speaker\, unless adjusted by the presiding chair of the committee. The presiding chair may impose time limits per each agenda item as needed. \n\n\n\n\n\nAGENDA\n\n\n\nCall to Order \n\n\nRoll Call: Chair Aaron M Quantz\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros McCaughey\, Mihran Kalaydijian\, \n\n\nPublic Announcements by city officials and representatives: (3) minutes per speaker\n\n\nStakeholder Public Comment Period (on items NOT on the agenda): (2) minutes per speaker\n\n\nApproval of Committee Minutes from August 23rd Committee Meeting \n\n\n\n\nItems for Discussion and Possible Action:\n\n\nAll comment is limited to 2 minutes per speaker\, unless adjusted by the presiding chair of the committee. \n\nDiscussion and possible action to support Council File No. 18-0131 for Zero Emissions Maintenance Equipment Pilot / City Parks and Golf Courses. We recommend preparing a CIS to the mentioned Council File. The suggested CIS draft is below. The City of Los Angeles has long been an environmental leader\, setting ambitious goals for the reduction of pollution and greenhouse gases (GHGs)\, and implementing departmental improvements that help achieve these reductions.\n\n The WHWCNC board is in support of the council motion directing the Department of \nRecreation and Parks to report on a strategy and timeline for a pilot program to evaluate the use of \nzero-emission maintenance equipment at parks and golf courses.  \nThe WHWCNC recommends that American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA)\, be the organization that helps the  \nCity of Los Angeles with their zero-emissions maintenance equipment pilot project\, in order to avoid common \nproblems that may arise in transitioning untrained staff.  \nAGZA is the certification organization that helped the City of South Pasadena achieves their groundbreaking zero emission operations for all city properties\, and is the most qualified and experienced consultancy to ensure the City’s program success.  \n Roll Call Vote \n\nDiscussion and possible action on composing a letter regarding West Valley Neighborhood Alliance (“WVNAH”) the WHWCNC recommends stopping immediately its engagement and any future participation with WVNAH. (Aaron Quantz & Mihran Kalaydjian).\n\nTo send a “cease and desist” letter suspending WVNAH from claiming “NC Member Affiliation” with the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council (The single dissenting vote\, preferred to cancel all affiliation immediately\, with suspension.)\, until WVNAH addresses our concerns\, as follows: \n1) Political Advocacy. It appears that WVNAH and some Board members have taken political positions\, even endorsing candidates during meetings\, in violation of its nonpartisan mission to address homelessness.  \n2) Voting Irregularities. The way WAVNA conducts its meetings and collects votes does not allow our NC to discuss and take an official position\, prior to asking our representation to vote\, in violation of our By Laws. There is also some concern about the balance of votes between NCs and other individuals and entities who vote for WVNAH positions. \nTherefore\, we ask WVNAH to cease and desist using NWNC as a “Member Neighborhood Council” or for any affiliation purposes\, and as WNAH to address these concerns.  \n Roll Call Vote \n8. Discussion and possible action\, ideas for possible “recruitment” of Stakeholders to join our Committee. Ideal additions must be able to attend all Committee meetings. The Chair (Aaron M Quantz) feels it is a top priority to not only work FOR our Stakeholders but WITH them as well. Working with the residents of our town is paramount as we are budgeted taxpayer funds\, otherwise we are just playing government with ourselves. \nRoll Call Vote \n\nDiscussion and possible action: As we know\, the Valley has a direct connection to the aeronautical industry and big Defense contractors\, many of whom left large areas of contamination in Woodland Hills and around the San Fernando Valley. We will discuss the plethora of these areas and the companies that left them contaminated\nhttps://www.dailynews.com/2020/01/09/neighbors-demand-full-cleanup-of-former-rocketdyne-site-in-warner-center/\nhttps://www.waterboards.ca.gov/rwqcb4/water_issues/programs/remediation/chromium/chromium_s1.html\nhttps://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/la-times-today/2021/06/12/santa-susana-nuclear-meltdown-1959-impact\nBenzine from Natural gas: https://sdvoice.info/gas-stoves-cancer-california-benzene/\n\n\nRoll Call Vote \n10.

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

The antennas will be painted matte in a non-reflective color to match the existing transmission tower where they will be installed. The proposed antennas meet setback requirements from all abutting streets\, residential uses\, and all zones\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH RF emissions are regulated by the FCC to ensure public safety standards based on peer-reviewed scientific studies\, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, Federal Drug Administration (FDA)\, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a DISH WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, and telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to DISH Wireless for a new WTF\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The site is of adequate size\, shape\, topography\, location\, and access to utilities to accommodate the proposed wireless facility in that all setbacks are met\, and it has access to power and telephone connections\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: The use and development will be compatible with the intended character of the area and are similar to other rooftop approvals elsewhere in the City\, and \n  \nWHEREAS: DISH Wireless will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC\, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\, and the CPUC\, governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable laws. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, BE IT RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by DISH Wireless for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Warner Center Marriott located at 21850 W.

The community and the Montero family would like to memorialize this tragic loss by erecting a marker at the site of the accident. This memorial consists of a 16′ pole topped with a sculpture of a bicycle and a placard with Sebastian’s name\, the date of the collision\, the reminder “Streets Are For Everyone” (S.A.F.E) and the hashtag #SafetyMatters. \nThe design of the sculpture has been approved by LADOT as visually safe for passing motorists and the structure of the sculpture has been engineered to safety standards. The installation will be performed by the artist\, Scott Froschauer\, and maintenance of the sculpture will be overseen by S.A.F.E.\, a bicycle safety advocacy nonprofit in conjunction with the artist. The location where the memorial is proposed is within the jurisdiction of Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and we support this project. \nSee attached photo \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (13) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-104) Community Impact Statement RE: Community Impact Statement Portal / Neighborhood Council Transmissions / City Commissions / Technological Upgrades CIS CF 22-1146 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSummary CF 22-1146:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council thanks Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Paul Koretz for putting forth this much-needed motion.

At the same time\, this causes frustration and doubt with the designated NC submitters\, who cannot tell if their actions are the problem or if the CIS Portal Page is the problem. The primary problem experienced relates to the submittal of PDFs. If there is proper maintenance and upgrades\, this should not happen. A newly designed CIS portal page should use current industry best practices for layout and back-end processing; for example work without the use of pop-up windows and should work seamlessly with current Chrome\, Edge\, Fire Fox and Safari browsers. The submission site should allow for drag and drop or navigating to and selecting attachment files. \nWhile we applaud this measure\, we request the reassurance that needed technological upgrades\, if any\, be integrated into the new citywide technology plan. Optionally\, we also request consideration of the transference of the DONE CIS maintenance responsibilities to the City Clerk’s office. \nAs an additional safeguard\, we propose that all Neighborhood Councils receive an automated alert when an email from the current NC CIS system bounces back to the server until the review above is completed and reviewed by the City Council.” \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (14) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-105) Community Impact Statement RE: Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \nSupplemental Reference Material: Ethics Commission File (Charter Sec 700 Ethics Reforms) \nCouncil File Number CF 22-1232: \nSummary:  \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we ask for the following amending actions. \n\nGenuine Independent Appointments\nMore Restrictive Eligibility Requirements\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner\nIncreased maximum penalty\nIncrease the minimum commission budget\nIndependent outside counsel for the Commission\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1232 : Charter Reform / Ethics Commission / Powers and Responsibilities / Ballot Measure \nWHWCNC Position: Support If Amended \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the recommended changes to the charter from the Ethics Commission only if amended. Therefore\, we give the following amending actions required below. \nThe City of Los Angeles’ Ethics Commission was once a model for the nation over three decades ago. Given recent events of the last decade\, an update is long overdue. The city must immediately start the work necessary to put a Charter Reform proposal on a near-future ballot. \nHowever\, you must not rush this work and waive it out of committee as a convenient answer to the ever-continuing scandals at City Hall. It deserves a full and fair hearing in committee with robust public involvement and discussion\, including Neighborhood Councils. \nThe Ethics Commission’s recommendations broadly reflect input it received regarding the empowerment of the body to enforce the law\, meaningfully change policy\, and change the power dynamics at City Hall. \nHowever\, we believe they fail to enhance the Commission’s independence sufficiently. We still see the opportunity for elected officials to strong-arm commissioners and meddle with the enforcement actions and policy proposals of the Ethics Commission in the same way elected officials manipulated the Redistricting Commission when those officials were not getting what they wanted. \nWe recommend the following specific amendments: \n\nIndependent Appointment: The City of LA cannot have a genuinely independent Ethics Commission until there is no involvement of elected officials in the member appointment process. The incumbent commissioners should be responsible for accepting and vetting applications through a public process.\nEligibility Requirements: The Commission proposes adding restrictions excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the city’s work from serving on the Commission.  These restrictions are warranted but incomplete. We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, a recent candidate for the City of LA\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates.\nRaise the vote threshold for removal of a commissioner: The Commission recommends increasing the number of elected officials who may initiate removal and reducing the threshold to a majority vote. Due to the presence of “tribal” factions in the City Council\, removal should require action by a supermajority of the City Council\, so we recommend requiring a 2/3rds vote for all proceedings removing Ethics Commissioners.\nIncreased maximum penalty: The Commission recommends increasing the administrative penalty to $10k per violation.  We recommend adopting Chicago’s maximum fine of $20k indexed to inflation per violation.\nRaise minimum budget: The Commission recommends their budget be set at $4.5 million and tied to CPI.  While this would protect against retaliation or defunding during a financial crunch\, this essentially freezes the status quo into the charter. If the City Council expands\, ethics will require more money. The budgeted minimum must be indexed for growth in the number of elected officials and separately indexed for the number of employees. $4.5 million is only a few hundred thousand above the Commission’s current budget.\nIndependent outside counsel: Realistically the City Attorney cannot serve multiple masters in these matters. The Commission’s recommendations include new expenditures\, like having independent outside counsel\, which is essential for good governance. These new additions will require even more money. A minimum budget of $7-10 million to be indexed for inflation would start the Commission with the resources needed to fulfill its broad mandate.\n\nThese reforms would ensure the Commission is sufficiently independent enough to be entrusted with the expanded power offered. \nWe appreciate your immediate attention to this topic\, \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (15) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline\, Chair \n(22-106) Community Impact Statement RE: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \n  \nDiscussion and Possible Action:                                                                    (10 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File Numbers CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: \nSummary: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo. Their behavior would never be tolerated at the Neighborhood Council level. Neighborhood Council members must adhere to a Code of Conduct and take Anti-Bias training as part of our service. Unfortunately\, it appears that a double standard exists for members of the City Council. This Neighborhood Council demands the immediate resignations of Councilmembers de León and Cedillo so the City can begin trusting and respecting City leaders. \n  \nMotion \nThe Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee unanimously recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council adopt the following Community Impact Statement: \nWoodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council Community Impact Statement (CIS) Regarding CF 22-1189 & CF 22-1195: Elected Officials / Offensive Misconducts / Immediate Resignation Demand / Censure / Racially Insensitive and Divisive Statements / Professional Conduct Failure \nWHWCNC Position: Support \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council heartily supports the actions taken by the City Council on October 26\, 2022\, to censure Councilmembers Martinez\, de Leon\, and Cedillo. \nThe behavior evidenced by Nury Martinez\, Kevin de León\, and Gil Cedillo would never be tolerated at the Neighborhood Council level. Neighborhood Council members must adhere to a Code of Conduct and take Anti-Bias training as part of our service. We believe the City Councilmembers should lead with their behavior rather than become a national mockery. The rules around our decorum and training are clear. Equally clear is the double standard that exists for members of the City Council. Were Neighborhood Council members to behave similarly\, we would face censure\, removal\, and dismissal by our board\, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment\, and the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners. Indeed\, they removed elected NC board members from Neighborhood Councils for far less egregious violations than what we are sickened to have heard from these disgraced city and union leaders. \nOur City of LA is a rich amalgamation of residents of global origins. In 2022\, we don’t expect to hear explicit recordings of literal bigotry\, recordings of the leaders of City Hall participating in offensive rhetoric against numerous cultures\, races\, ethnicities\, religions\, and sexual identities while discussing gerrymandering based on race and socioeconomic status\, and backroom deals to keep themselves in power. \nThis Neighborhood Council demands the immediate resignations of Councilmembers de León and Cedillo so the City can begin trusting and respecting City leaders. \nSubmitted by: \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote \n\n Area Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nArea 1 – Aaron Quantz\, Karen DiBiase\, Mark Schwartz\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey \nArea 2 – Arturo Velasquez\, Paul Lawler\, Sean McCarthy\nArea 3 – John Sandy Campbell \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – None\nArea 6 – Leslie Simon\, Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Houtan Hormozian\nAt-Large –None\nYouth Member – Talia Isaacs \n  \n\n Committee Reports – (10 minutes) \n\n  \nBudget Committee – Paul Lawler – Chairs \nCommunity Services Committee / Safety – Dena Weiss\, Chair\nEducation Committee –Mihran Kalaydjian – Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair \nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Aaron Quantz\, Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson\, Chair\nWHIP Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nAd-hoc Committee – Flight Path and Noise Advisory Committee – Martin Lipkin\, Chair \n  \nAnnouncements:  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held on December 14\, 2022\, by teleconference.

Council File 21-1230-S2 relative to establishing the Livable Communities Initiative along suitable transit-rich corridors and related mattters.\n\n(This matter is referred to Los Angeles City Council Budget and Finance and Economic Development and Jobs Committees. The Housing and Transportation Committees have approved the item and their reports are within the Council File https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=21-1230-S2 ) \nMOTION: State law requires the City of Los Angeles to update its Housing Element every eight years and demonstrate sufficient zoned capacity for housing-especially affordable housing. For the 2021-2022 planning cycle\, the City was given a housing target of 456\,643 new units\, which we must accommodate for by 2029. According to Los Angeles City Planning\, while some of this capacity is achievable by maintaining the status quo\, there remains a shortfall of 255\,432 units. This shortfall necessitates innovative planning tools and programs to meet our housing targets. For this reason\, the City Council recently adopted Los Angeles’ most ambitious Housing Element to date. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element outlines strategies that speak to the City’s diverse housing needs and goals around ending homelessness\, producing more housing\, expanding housing opportunities\, and creating mixed-use\, mixed-income neighborhoods across Los Angeles near jobs and transit. Some of these strategies will be included automatically in community plan updates\, but many of the policy programs detailed in Chapter 6 of the Housing Element require City Council action to effectuate. \nOne key program is the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI)\, identified as Program 131 of the adopted Housing Element. As detailed in the Housing Element\, “LCI is an opportunity to advance a holistic vision for livable\, healthy\, and sustainable communities along the City’s transit-rich corridors utilizing mixed-use\, mixed-income housing combined with opportunities to transform the street and public realm by adding or improving wide sidewalks\, tree canopy\, outdoor dining\, bicycle infrastructure\, transit shelters\, fast and frequent transit\, and public seating and plazas.” LCI helps to implement critical “complete street” strategies in the City’s adopted Mobility Plan 2035; moreover\, it encourages reinvestment and street activation across neighborhoods so that Angelenos have access to safe and enjoyable public spaces to walk\, roll\, and thrive. \nThe City’s current development regulations are confusing and restrictive\, and often make it challenging to build much-needed housing. In the midst of a housing shortage and low vacancy rates in Los Angeles\, where almost 60% of renters are cost-burdened\, the LCI alongside other strategies identified in the Housing Element are an opportunity to holistically plan for green\, affordable\, and connected communities. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, with assistance from the Department of Building and Safety\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, and other relevant departments\, to report back within 180 days with strategies to establish the Livable Communities Initiative along suitable transit-rich corridors\, or analogous Citywide regulations\, that facilitates mid-scale development\, promotes the creation of housing units where ‘ they do not currently exist\, and creates or enhances existing commercial\, ll Wixed-use .character. As pap of its report\, City Planning should consider by-right or administrative development and zoning standards to mid-scale development; including\, but not limited to: Waivers or reductions of setback\, unit floor area\, and other development standards;  \nAn inclusionary housing requirement to increase access to affordable housing;  \nA minimum density requirement to promote multifamily\, mixed-use development;  \nProvisions to encourage greater lot density such as allowing for microunits\, shared housing\, or increasing area ratio (FAR) allowances; The elimination or reduction of parking minimums in “high quality transit areas” or “transit-rich areas”;  \nExclusions and/or mitigations for lot located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ)\, an identified historic district\, or are designated as open space; and result in the demolition of buildings subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance  \nI FURTHER MOVE that\, as part of this report back\, City Council directs Los Angeles City Planning to develop a community-driven outreach and engagement strategy that will assist in informing the necessary maps and reports required to identify suitable transit-rich corridors that would benefit from the Livable Communities Initiative and complement existing rezoning efforts through the implementation of the Housing Element (2021-2029). This strategy should demonstrate adequate engagement and involvement with marginalized\, historically underserved\, and/or disadvantaged communities potentially impacted by the selection of suitable corridors.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, in coordination with City Planning’s Urban Design Studio\, to report back within 180 days on options for an administrative clearance procedure for projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative that outlines objective Design and Development Standards to ensure high quality\, contextual design and compatibility with the vision of the Livable Communities Initiative outlined in Program 131 of the Housing Element (2021-2029).  \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, the Department of Public Works\, and the Economic Workforce Development Department\, with assistance from the City Administrative Office and other relevant departments\, to report back within 180 days with options to establish a streamlined\, administrative review process that ensures projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative invest in public right-of-way amenities and infrastructure improvements in order to encourage transit ridership\, pedestrian and cyclist safety\, and placemaking. \n  \n Roll Call Vote \n2. Discussion and possible action: Council File: 22-0755  \nThe City’s FY 2021-22 Budget included a $1\,000\,000 pilot program in partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) to deliver medical services to homeless residents. The program also places individuals into various types of housing and provides hygiene services at high-needs locations throughout the City. The program received an additional $1\,000\,000 in the FY 2022-23 Budget to continue these needed services. \nThis current service contract is ending on June 30\, 2022. At this time\, a new contract is required to recognize funding provided to LAHD in the FY 2022-23 Budget Resolution. It is important that a new contract be properly executed with USC through the Los Angeles Housing Department\, administrator for this contract\, to ensure continuity of service. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct and authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) or designee to execute a contract with the University of Southern California (USC) to provide street medicine and housing services in the amount of $1\,000\,000 as approved in the City’s FY 22-23 Budget\, and that the contract commence July 1\, 2022 for a term of 12 months\, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. \nI FURTHER MOVE that the Council find that the services to be perfonned by the University of Southern California are for the performance of professional\, scientific\, expert\, technical\, or other special services of a temporary and occasional character for which competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous and that the work can be performed more economically or feasibly by independent contractors than by City employees. I FURTHER MOVE that LAHD be authorized to make any technical corrections or clarifications as necessary to the above instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this Motion. \n  \nMOTION 72A \nAMEND item #72 (CF: 22-0755) to add the following directions: I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA)\, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD)\, Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD)\, the Mayor’s Office\, the Unified Homelessness Response Center (UHRC)\, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)\, to report in 60 days on the status of the City’s partnership with the USC Street Medicine Program\, and funding sources and options for expanding street medicine services across the City.\n \n  Roll Call Vote \n3. Discussion and possible action: Council File 22-1313\nMOTION: HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY COMMITTEE \nThe most recent Point-in-Time Count data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) \nindicate that nearly 6\,500 people experiencing homelessness in the City are living in a total of about 4\,000 \nrecreational vehicles (RVs). That number\, which has grown by 40% since 2018\, represents 22% of the City’s total unsheltered homeless population. All too often\, RVs used as dwellings on LA’s streets are in grave disrepair\, meaning that people living in them face unsanitary and sometimes dangerous conditions. Many residents of RV s also lack access to adequate hygiene facilities. A number of the individuals who live in RVs actually make substantial rent payments to the vehicle’s owner\, paying out hundreds of dollars each month for precarious and substandard housing. RVs have also posed challenges for the neighborhoods in which they are located related to the release of untreated effluent into streets or stormwater drains\, increased risk of fires (especially from external generators)\, and other public safety concerns Since 2010\, the City’s primary response to vehicular homelessness-particularly in RVs-has been a reactive one\, not one that focuses on resolving homelessness for inhabitants of RVs. The City has used LAMC 80.69.4\, a law that allows the City to prohibit the parking of oversized vehicles (those over 84 inches high and 22 feet long) between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m on specific streets. Through Council action\, hundreds of streets have been added every year to the list of streets where oversized vehicle parking is prohibited. In addition to street-specific oversized vehicle bans\, people who live in RVs on city streets must comply with rules that prohibit staying in one parking spot for more than 72 hours. Vehicles that violate this rule can be ticketed and towed. During the pandemic\, the City paused ticketing and towing of vehicles with people living in them in accordance with CDC guidelines te-allew people experiencing homelessness to shelter in place-safely\, but in April ofthis year\, the City Council voted to resume parking enforcement for vehicles used as dwellings. This enforcement-based approach to addressing RVs\, however\, has proven to be largely ineffective. Often\, RV dwellers move their vehicles to other streets in response to a ticket or an oversized vehicle prohibition\, meaning that these bans simply move people experiencing homelessness from one street to another. Additionally\, the City’s capacity to enforce the new rules around RV dwelling is extremely limited-and likely to remain so- because of the lack ofvendors and tow yard space to tow and impound oversized vehicles. It is clear that the City needs to come up with a more effective and holistic response to vehicular homelessness. \nOne option to address vehicular homelessness in RVs is to provide designated sites as “safe parking” lots. Safe parking programs typically provide nighttime security and hygiene facilities\, as well as some case management on site. However\, there are currently very few safe parking sites within the City that are large enough to accommodate RVs. Furthermore\, none of these sites operate 24 hours a day\, which poses a particular challenge for people in RVs\, who do not opt to use the sites because it is onerous or impossible to move their vehicles out of the lots during daytime hours due to the size and condition of the vehicles. \nAnother strategy is to offer housing options to residents ofRVs. Indeed\, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) recently proposed new outreach and engagement protocols to address Citywide vehicle dwelling (CF 21-0956-S 1)\, which instructs that prior to towing a vehicle\, housing or shelter referrals should be made to vehicle dwellers “if available.” However\, the City simply does not have adequate numbers of shelter beds or interim housing sites to offer housing to every resident currently in an RV. It is likely that without adequate housing options to offer residents\, strict enforcement of existing RV laws would result in more individuals encamped in tents and makeshift shelters on City sidewalks. Effective housing navigation for people living in RVs will require specialized resources in order to successfully resolve homelessness for residents. Homeless service providers with experience working with residents of RV s report that incentives\, such as small cash payments\, can serve as useful tools to encourage residents moving into housing to relinquish their RVs when they move. Short-term storage options for RVs can also help residents overcome skepticism about moving into an interim housing site. In the proposed 2022-23 California budget\, Governor Newsom has earmarked $300 million for Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grants. Local governments can apply for ERF grants to create projects that serve people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in encampments. In 2022\, Council District 4 received an ERF grant of$1\,747\,115 to rehouse individuals living unsheltered along a 19-mile stretch ofthe Los Angeles River. Eligible fund uses include street outreach and engagement\, housing navigation\, interim and permanent housing capacity building\, activities to ensure sustained outcomes for people served\, and funding for the restoration of encampment sites. The likely expansion of this flexible funding stream presents a promising opportunity to secure funds to support a City-wide\, comprehensive approach to addressing RV homelessness effectively.I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO)\, with assistance from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Department of Transportation (LADOT)\, to report back within 60 days with a comprehensive City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness\, in alignment with the City’s Street Engagement Strategy and LAHSA’s Best Practices for Addressing Street Encampments. The strategy should include the following components: \nIdentifying and securing appropriate interim shelter and housing for people living in RV s across the \nCity; \nCreation of incentives for voluntary relinquishment of RVs used as dwellings; \nIdentifying and securing short-term storage lots for RVs after the owner or dweller moves into interim or \npermanent housing if the owner or dweller wishes to store the RV for a short time; \nExpanding Safe Parking programs\, in collaboration with LAHSA\, to include oversized/larger RVs in 24-hour Safe Parking programming;  \nDemolishing RVs\, after the owner or dweller moves into interim or permanent housing\, with consent of the owner; \nLeveraging case management from sanitation outreach/City-funded generalist outreach teams for people \nliving in RVs\, with a focus on strategies for working with people living in RVs; and \nNecessary budgetary and staffing resources to implement the strategy. \nI FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to report back within 60 days regarding the possibility of submitting an application on behalf of the City for an ERF grant to support the proposed City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness. \n Roll Call Vote \n4. Discussion and possible action: Council File 21-1208\nMotion: In 2016 the State of Califomia adopted methane emissions targets in an effort to reduce short-lived climate pollutants under SB 1383 requiring all jurisdictions to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. This was a necessary response to scientific discoveries that greenhouse gasses released by landfilling food and yard waste is a major contributor to pollutants and climate change. \nThe research uncovered that Califomia landfills are the third largest source of generated methane gas. Organics like food scraps\, yard trimmings\, paper\, and cardboard make up half of what is dumped in our landfills. The new regulations require jurisdictions to adopt and enforce an ordinance on reducing commercial and residential food waste generation. All jurisdictions starting in 2022 will need to provide organic waste collection services and utilize recycling facilities\, procure products made from recycled organic material\, as well as redirect 20 percent of edible food currently thrown away to those going hungry by the year 2025. \nUnder the new law\, each jurisdiction is accountable for compliance by its sourcegenerators\, and CalRecycle\, the State’s recycling and waste regulatory agency\, is authorized to issue escalating penalties for non-compliance beginning in 2022. \nThe City of Los Angeles has been at the forefront implementing waste collection programs and recycling to address operational eficiencies and climate change. In January 2017 the City approved seven RecycLA contracts for the collection of solid waste\, recycling and organics from large multifamily properties and businesses. These contracts contained specific landfill reduction targets tiat must be contractually met. Since there is always room for improvement\, the City must begin work to ensure our policies are in compliance with the new State regulations beginning in 2022. \nDuring the course of the past year and a half\, City residents have been coping with the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result\, many residents have sought economic relief through the rent moratorium and utility bill assistance. The implementation of the new regulations associated with organics may have an impact on the City residents and businesses as they emerge from the pandemic. Given this\, it is important that the City fully understand the economic impact of these regulations and provide ways to minimize their effect on struggling City residents and businesses. \nThe Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) should be requested to analyze the law and prepare a report with recommendations on phasing in the steps for data-collection\, policy compliance\, and future plans for capital improvements that comply with the new CalRecycle regulations. The City supports the goals to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants statewide and the regulations approved by CalRecycle already align with the City’s zero-waste goals. \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) be instructed to report to the City Council within 60 days on the steps necessary to comply with the CalRecycle regulations to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025; and the ability to develop a phased approach to compliance. \nI further move that the BOS\, With the assistance of the City Administrative Officer and the Chief Legislative Analyst\, be instructed to report on the potential impact of the CalRecycle regulations on the ratepayers and methods and approaches to provide relief to ratepayers and minimize potential impacts. \n  \n Roll Call Vote \n  \nItems to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting \n Adjournment of Meeting: \nThe Woodland Hills/ Warner Center Neighborhood Council Public Health and Homelessness Committee meets regularly on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.

At the time\, there were 200\,000 people in the City of LA\, with about 13\,300 persons per district. That number is multiplied twenty times to over 3.85 million people today. Each Council District in Los Angeles has more people than the Cities of Burbank and Pasadena combined. There is scant evidence that this consolidation of power in such populated Districts is good for the residents and voters of LA. The Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council wholeheartedly supports bringing Charter Reform Ballot Initiatives to the voters before 2024. These would increase and tie Council district sizes to population\, expand the City Council to provide more representation to our communities and remove Councilmembers and elected officials from redistricting. \nPreliminary Draft CIS \nWHIP recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center-Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] resolve and send the following WHIP statement of community impact as its own. The CIS supports calling for City Charter ballot measures on the expansion of the number of Council Districts and a new impartial Redistricting process to redistrict Los Angeles in time for the 2024 election cycle: \nCouncil File 21-1472 \nNovember 2022 Ballot / Ballot Measure / City Charter Amendment / Independent Redistricting Commission \nCouncil File 23-0002-S1 \nIndependent Redistricting Process / New Commission / New Redistricting Maps / City of Los Angeles / April 2023 Special Election \nCouncil File 22-1196  \nCharter Reform Ballot Initiative / 2024 / Redistricting Process / Los Angeles City Council Seats / Representation Fixed to Population Growth \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports the creation of an independent redistricting commission.  It is a necessary and overdue step for the City Council and Los Angeles Unified School Board Districts.  During the 2021 redistricting process\, many Neighborhood Councils had to expend significant energy and time to fight for their neighborhood in a polarized and politicized process.  It is time for Los Angeles to catch up to California and Los Angeles County\, which already have independent redistricting commissions. \nWe propose adding restrictions for applicant qualifications excluding any bidder\, contractor\, developer\, or someone with a direct financial interest in the City’s work from serving on the Commission.  We also recommend excluding anyone affiliated with the management of an employee union\, any recent candidate for a City of LA elected office\, former elected officials in the City of LA\, and anyone who has donated or raised above a certain threshold for local candidates. \nThe Redistricting process must follow a set of rank-ordered criteria to create new districts: \n\nPopulation Equality:Districts must comply with the S. Constitution’s requirement of “one person\, one vote.”\nFederal Voting Rights Act:Districts must ensure an equal opportunity for minorities to elect a candidate of their choice\nGeographic Contiguity:All areas within a district must connect as an undivided whole\, except for the particular case of islands\nGeographic Integrity:Without violating previous criteria\, Districts shall minimize the division of neighborhood councils before minimizing the division of communities of interest to the extent feasible. Communities of interest are secondary to neighborhood councils. They must be a contiguous population sharing common social and economic interests that justify inclusion within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation.\nGeographic Compactness:To the extent practicable\, and where this does not conflict with previous criteria\, districts must not bypass nearby communities for more distant communities of interest. Communities of interest cannot be considered broader than 7 miles.\nTo the extent practicable\, Districts should not cross watersheds.\nDrawing Districts shall not consider any effects on Incumbents\, political candidates\, or political.\n\nThe City Council districts are currently too large to govern each area well. They have created an environment leading to opportunities for corruption by concentrating so much power in so few hands. A fifth of our City Council Members coming under indictment in the last decade is a strong indicator of opportunities for corruption. We also strongly believe in the expansion of the City Council’s size. \nIt is simply impossible for 15 Council Members to govern 4 million people appropriately.  Each City Council Member is supposed to represent over a quarter million residents.  For comparison\, in New York City (8.4 million people\, 51 council districts)\, each council district represents approximately 160\,000-170\,000 people.  In Chicago (2.71 million people\, 50 wards)\, each alderperson represents about 54\,000 people. The City of Fresno has a Council Member per 112\,000 persons. We favor getting to somewhere in the middle. \nWe support a ballot measure to establish a new City Council\, having one Council Member per 110\,000 residents to the nearest whole number and expanding the Council Districts as the population increases. \nServing as Commission Co-chairs\, two retired Superior Court Judges put forth by the presiding judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court shall select the Commission from a pool of about 80 candidates nominated across the City. At least one judge shall live in the City of Los Angeles. \nTo establish the pool of candidates\, each Los Angeles Neighborhood Council may nominate at least one and up to 3 candidates at the rate of one per 50\,000 in population to the nearest whole number\, ideally resulting in selecting about 1 out of 5 candidates to the Redistricting Commission of 17 members plus the two Co-chairs. \nWe support ballot measures to increase the number of Council districts and establish new redistricting procedures. They should appear on the same ballot. When voters pass one or both ballot measures as proposed\, the City Council must immediately initiate the redistricting process to complete new redistricting in time for the 2024 election cycle. \nRoll Call Vote — Heath Kline\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer\, Aaron Williams \n\n Council File 14-0425-S13:\n18447 West Sherman Way / Reseda Theatre Project / Reseda Theatre Senior Housing L.P. / Reseda Theatre and Public Market / Disposition and Development Agreement / Fifth Amendment.\n\nCommittee discussion with possible action regarding support for the position of the Reseda Neighborhood Council’s objection to continuing the process of modifying the development agreement until the community has been consulted. \nPreliminary Draft CIS \nCouncil File 14-0425-S13 \n18477 West Sherman Way | Reseda Theatre Project \nPosition: Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood opposes L.A. City Council File 14-0425-S13 – until the Reseda community has adequately been outreached to and their input has been satisfactorily received. \nThe revitalization of the Reseda Theater has been a dream of the Reseda Community for over two decades and why they supported the bundling of the theatre project with a senior housing project that promised to revitalize the theater years ago. Throughout the years the Reseda Neighborhood Council has requested updates regarding the progress of the theatre but was never informed regarding this proposed severance into two corporate entities. Respectively – the transfer of property from Reseda Theater Senior Housing\, LP to Reseda Theatre and Public Market LP. \nIn public records\, the Reseda Neighborhood Council discovered that incorporation documents setting the groundwork for using two corporate entities were filed in May 2021\, which means that there have been over 18 months to inform their community of potential changes. \nAs Woodland Hills has similarly been party to the same style of concealment of City development activities and perceived backroom dealings originating from our shared council office on development projects impacting our community such as the expansion of the West Valley Food Pantry or the aquation with public funds of properties across from Taft High School to be operated by a non-profit to provide homeless housing and services to targeted groups without details to the community of who will actually be served or any details of the programs that will be offered on-site to help the residents despite numerous inquiries from the public\, we feel it is our responsibility to join the Reseda NC in calling out development projects in Council District 3 that surreptitiously bypass Neighborhood Councils and community input. As the stakeholders of Reseda were not informed of the proposed changes and were without the opportunity to weigh in on serious concerns\, it continues the tradition of perceived backroom dealing and City Council corruption that has plagued the Los Angeles City Council for the past few years. By way of examples\, we refer to the ways that LA City Council handled its own redistricting and that of LAUSD recently where community input fell on deaf ears. We also see similarities in bypassing informing and taking input from the affected area stakeholders and NCs in the handling of the Northeast Valley Animal Shelter (see our CIS regarding Council File 22-0897). \nThe financing for this project has been supplied by the City of Los Angeles\, with our tax dollars. Reseda’s understandable concern is that this request to transfer ownership from one corporate owner to two is simply a cynical ploy on the part of the developer to guarantee that\, should they run into difficulties or roadblocks in the restoration of the theater\, they would fail to keep their promise to restore and revitalize the Reseda Theater in a form acceptable to the community. \nAs such\, the WHWCNC requests Council File 14-0425-S13 be continued until the stakeholders of Reseda have been given the opportunity to provide robust feedback and have their input be thoughtfully considered. This means the transfer of property from Reseda Theater Senior Housing\, LP to Reseda Theatre and Public Market LP be delayed\, and possibly denied\, until adequate outreach has been shown and input received. \nSincerely\, \nWoodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council \nRoll Call Vote — Heath Kline\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer\, Aaron Williams \n\n Council File 22-1489:\nVan Nuys Airport (VNY) / Development Projects / Community Impact / VNY Citizens Advisory Council.\n\nThe Committee initiates discussion with possible action regarding support for the motion by Councilman Blumenfield calling for a report from LA World Airports regarding a list of projects and awards\, past community engagement\, compliance with 2005 VNY Master Plan\, environmental impacts\, and proposal for future community engagement. \nRoll Call Vote — Heath Kline\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer\, Aaron Williams \n\n Council File 21-0407:\nNeighborhood Council / Standardize Election Rules / Stakeholder Participation.\n\nThe Committee to discuss and possibly take action regarding the Board issuing an impact statement regarding the Empower LA report to the City Council on by-laws issues related to Neighborhood Council Elections. Another requested action in the council file is for the City Attorney to standardize election rules and limit this authority. \nPreliminary Draft CIS \nThe Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council strongly encourages the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment to submit a follow-up report-back to CF 21-0407 with input from experienced Neighborhood Council board members to expand on its responses to the specific City Council asks\, and emphasizing that the Neighborhood Councils are independent pursuant to the City Charter and that amendments to their bylaws cannot be made by the City Council or other entity\, only by each Neighborhood Council. \nRoll Call Vote — Heath Kline\, John Sandy Campbell\, August Steurer\, Aaron Williams \n\n Committee consideration of Possible issues\nDiscussion on future Committee meeting agendas acting to set a date for the next meeting.\n\nIssue suggestions are posted when available on the whcouncil.com event page for this meeting. \n\n Adjournment of Meeting\n\nMeeting dates for the 2021-2022 year: Committee holds meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of every month at 7:00 pm.

The proposed design will mitigate any adverse visual impacts and blend with the design of the underlying building. (See attached simulations.) \n  \nPLUM Motion \nThe Planning Land Use and Mobility committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC)\, having held one remote meeting via ZOOM on the proposed AT&T Mobility Wireless Telecommunications Facility (WTF) request and has made the following finds and recommends the support of the Board of the WHWCNC as follows: \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility proposes installing a wireless facility consisting of 16 panel antennas\, 48 RRUs\, and equipment cabinets behind screening on an existing rooftop; and \n  \nWHEREAS: Existing service is insufficient to meet existing demand by customers in the West Valley due to overloaded existing facilities resulting in interrupted service\, dropped calls\, or complete denial of service inside nearby neighborhood retail centers; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The LAMC authorizes the Zoning Administrator to grant Conditional Uses\, allows conditional use of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility has satisfied the conditions of LAMC Sections 12.24 and 11.5.7 that allow for the installation of wireless facilities in R3-1 Zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The location meets the minimum distances to habitable structures required by the FCC. The antennas will be painted matte in a non-reflective color to match the existing transmission tower where they will be installed. The proposed antennas meet setback requirements from all abutting streets\, residential uses\, and all zones; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility emissions are regulated by the FCC to ensure public safety standards based on peer-reviewed scientific studies\, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)\, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, Federal Drug Administration (FDA)\, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)\, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) ; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility analyzed several alternate locations as candidates for a AT&T Mobility WTF\, and the subject location is the only location that has the requisite space\, power\, telco utility availability on site\, as well as land-lord interest in leasing space to AT&T Mobility for a new WTF; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The site is of adequate size\, shape\, topography\, location\, and access to utilities to accommodate the proposed wireless facility in that all setbacks are met\, and it has access to power and telephone connections; and \n  \nWHEREAS: The use and development will be compatible with the intended character of the area and are similar to other rooftop approvals elsewhere in the City; and \n  \nWHEREAS: AT&T Mobility will operate this facility in full compliance with the regulations and licensing requirements of the FCC\, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\, and the CPUC\, governed by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other applicable laws. \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED; That the Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans by AT&T Mobility for the proposed Conditional Use Permit at the Motion Picture & Television Fund\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91364\, receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested actions. Further Neighborhood Council advises the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and its subsequent supporting recommendation to approve this application as presented to the Board of the WHWCNC on December 12\, 2022 \nSee posted support document \nRoll call vote \nItem No. (9) Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee (PLUM) – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-115) Case No. ZA-2022-1090-ZV-ZAA 22450 W.

Expansion over the State allowed 6 patients is not by-right under State Law\, and approval is solely at the discretion of the City of Los Angeles. At three (3) WHWCNC PLUM Committee presentations\, neighbors spoke about numerous problems currently emanating from this facility and causing issues in the neighborhood\, and aired concerns that doubling the number of patients in the current facility without expanding staff or protections put the community at risk. The Applicant was asked—and agreed—to hold in-persons meetings with the neighbors and discuss the issues and any possible remedies. No meeting(s) occurred in the 3 months after the request was made and agreed-to by the Applicant. \n  \n  \nPLUM Motion  \nAs pertaining to Cases ZA-2022-1090-ZV-ZAA and ENV-2022-2091-CE\, having held three (3) public virtual teleconference PLUM meetings for the application filed by Aaron Barsalou\, the applicant/owner of Psyclarity Health\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has been operating a by-right 6-bed Residential Detox Program at the 22450 Collins Street location under State License No.191055AP since August 2020\, treating substance abuse patients: and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant is now requesting a Zone Variance to permit increasing the by-right\, 6 bed licensed Residential Detox Program on the RE11-1 zoned parcel at 22450 Collins Street\, to a 12-bed Program\, that is not covered by the State statute\,  by doubling up in the existing rooms; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant has stated does not plan to increase staff levels\, add oversight personnel or make any modifications to the existing structure to accommodate the requested increased client count; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the LAPD has reported that during the period of September 2021 to September 2022 there were a total of 9 police/emergency calls (an average of 1 every 40 days) for service at the facility; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the surrounding neighbors have expressed concerns that the increased volume of occupants will result in an increase in the level of residents roaming the neighborhood streets at night\, and increase emergency and police activity resulting in further deterioration of the safety and quiet\, semi-rural nature of the residential community; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Applicant agreed to hold meetings with neighbors to see if issues could be worked out\, but failed to hold even one such meeting over a three month period; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the PLUM Committee members question whether the existing staff level will be sufficient to prevent occupants from leaving the facility alone and roaming on the local streets; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant plans to increase on-site parking capacity from 4 to 8 spaces by adding 4 new parking spaces and 10 bicycle spaces in the open back yard space of the property to comply with the required minimum of 9 parking spaces\, thus negating the need for a Zone Variance; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a Zoning Administrator Determination is being requested to address an existing reduced side yard setback of 5’6” to 8’ in lieu of the minimum required setback of 10’ for institutions and centers like this; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, a temporarily closed school facility–Hughes Adult Learning Center\, (formerly Charles Evans Hughes Junior High School) is directly across Capistrano Avenue to the west and is currently being used by the West Valley Girls Softball League for athletic activities and could put these children in a dangerous situation; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, another Detox facility in the community is already located approximately 0.38 of a mile away on Dolorosa Street; \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings stated herein\, finds that the submitted application and plans to expand the Substance Abuse facility at 22450 Collins Street from the current 6 patients to the requested 12 patients\, not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council for the requested action(s); \n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the city of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and recommendation to not approve the application presented on Dec. 12\, 2022. \nSee posted support document \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (10) Planning\, Land Use\, and Mobility Committee (PLUM) – Don Patterson\, Chair \n(22-116) Case No. DIR-2021-7703-DI      5919 Canoga Ave.\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367 \n(Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse)\n\nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                      (10 minutes) \n  \nProject Description: \nThe Applicant is requesting s supplemental permit for minor modifications to the façade\, internal floor layout and revise location of RTUs. \n  \nPLUM Motion \nAs pertaining to Case DIR-2021-7703-DI for relocation and renovations for Ruth’s Chris Steak House at 5919 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held one (1) virtual public meeting related to a modification to the previously supported project filed by Ruth’s Hospitality Group\, Inc. to enlarge\, upgrade and refurbish an existing restaurant structure in Allison Plaza in the Downtown District of the Warner Center 2035 Plan\, and to gain Administrative Clearance and a Director’s Interpretation for WC 2035 SP Section 5.3.2.7.2 for horizontal additions\, and for relief from Section 6.1.2.3.5(a)\, the WHWCNC Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed modifications result in no change to the overall design and functions of the approved plans;

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

Discussion and possible action: (CF 21-1230-S2) \n\nRelative to establishing the Livable Communities\nInitiative along suitable transit-rich corridors and related mattters. The Housing and Transportation Committees have approved the item and their reports are within the Council File  \n\nMOTION: State law requires the City of Los Angeles to update its Housing Element every eight years and demonstrate sufficient zoned capacity for housing-especially affordable housing. For the 2021-2022 planning cycle\, the City was given a housing target of 456\,643 new units\, which we must accommodate for by 2029.\nAccording to Los Angeles City Planning\, while some of this capacity is achievable by maintaining the status quo\, there remains a shortfall of 255\,432 units. This shortfall necessitates innovative planning tools and programs to meet our housing targets. For this reason\, the City Council recently adopted Los Angeles’ most ambitious Housing Element to date. The City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element outlines strategies that speak to the City’s diverse housing needs and goals around ending homelessness\, producing more housing\, expanding housing opportunities\, and creating mixed-use\, mixed-income neighborhoods across Los Angeles near jobs and transit.  \n\n Some of these strategies will be included automatically in community plan updates\, but many of the policy programs detailed in Chapter 6 of the Housing Element require City Council action to effectuate.\nOne key program is the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI)\, identified as Program 131 of the adopted\nHousing Element. As detailed in the Housing Element\, “LCI is an opportunity to advance a holistic vision for livable\, healthy\, and sustainable communities along the City’s transit-rich corridors utilizing mixed-use\, mixed-income housing combined with opportunities to transform the street and public realm by adding or improving wide sidewalks\, tree canopy\, outdoor dining\, bicycle infrastructure\, transit shelters\, fast and frequent transit\, and public seating and plazas.” LCI helps to implement critical “complete street” strategies in the City’s adopted Mobility Plan 2035; moreover\, it encourages reinvestment and street activation across neighborhoods so that Angelenos have access to safe and enjoyable public spaces to walk\, roll\, and thrive. \n\n\n\nThe City’s current development regulations are confusing and restrictive\, and often make it challenging to build much-needed housing. In the midst of a housing shortage and low vacancy rates in Los Angeles\, where almost 60% of renters are cost-burdened\, the LCI alongside other strategies identified in the Housing Element are an opportunity to holistically plan for green\, affordable\, and connected communities. \n\nI THEREFORE MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, with assistance from the\nDepartment of Building and Safety\, Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, and other relevant\ndepartments\, to report back within 180 days with strategies to establish the Livable Communities Initiative along suitable transit-rich corridors\, or analogous Citywide regulations\, that facilitates mid-scale development\, promotes the creation of housing units where ‘ they do not currently exist\, and creates or enhances existing commercial\, Mixed-use character. As part of its report\, City Planning should consider by-right or administrative development and zoning standards to mid-scale development; including\, but not limited to: Waivers or reductions of setback\, unit floor area\, and other development standards; An inclusionary housing requirement to increase access to affordable housing; A minimum density requirement to promote multifamily\, mixed-use development; Provisions to encourage greater lot density such as allowing for microunits\, shared housing\, or increasing area ratio (FAR) allowances; The elimination or reduction of parking minimums in “high quality transit areas” or “transit-rich areas”;\nExclusions and/or mitigations for lot located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ)\, an identified historic district\, or are designated as open space; and result in the demolition of buildings subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance\n \nI FURTHER MOVE that\, as part of this report back\, City Council directs Los Angeles City Planning to\ndevelop a community-driven outreach and engagement strategy that will assist in informing the necessary maps and reports required to identify suitable transit-rich corridors that would benefit from the Livable Communities Initiative and complement existing rezoning efforts through the implementation of the Housing Element (2021-2029). This strategy should demonstrate adequate engagement and involvement with marginalized\, historically underserved\, and/or disadvantaged communities potentially impacted by the selection of suitable corridors.\n \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, in coordination with City Planning’s Urban Design Studio\, to report back within 180 days on options for an administrative clearance procedure for projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative that outlines objective Design and Development Standards to ensure high quality\, contextual design and compatibility with the vision of the Livable Communities Initiative outlined in Program 131 of the Housing Element (2021-2029).  \nI FURTHER MOVE that City Council direct Los Angeles City Planning\, Los Angeles Department of\nTransportation\, the Department of Public Works\, and the Economic Workforce Development Department\, with assistance from the City Administrative Office and other relevant departments\, to report back within 180 days with options to establish a streamlined\, administrative review process that ensures projects eligible for the Livable Communities Initiative invest in public right-of-way amenities and infrastructure improvements in order to encourage transit ridership\, pedestrian and cyclist safety\, and placemaking.\n \n\n\nRoll Call Vote\n \n\n\nDiscussion and possible action: (CF 22-0755) \n\nThe City’s FY 2021-22 Budget included a $1\,000\,000 pilot program in partnership with the University of\nSouthern California (USC) to deliver medical services to homeless residents. The program also places\nindividuals into various types of housing and provides hygiene services at high-needs locations throughout the City. The program received an additional $1\,000\,000 in the FY 2022-23 Budget to continue these needed services. This current service contract is ending on June 30\, 2022. At this time\, a new contract is required to recognize funding provided to LAHD in the FY 2022-23 Budget Resolution. It is important that a new contract be properly executed with USC through the Los Angeles Housing Department\, administrator for this contract\, to ensure continuity of service.\n \nI THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct and authorize the General Manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) or designee to execute a contract with the University of Southern California (USC) to provide street medicine and housing services in the amount of $1\,000\,000 as approved in the City’s FY 22-23 Budget\, and that the contract commence July 1\, 2022 for a term of 12 months\, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that the Council find that the services to be performed by the University of Southern California are for the performance of professional\, scientific\, expert\, technical\, or other special services of a temporary and occasional character for which competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous and that the work can be performed more economically or feasibly by independent contractors than by City employees.\nI FURTHER MOVE that LAHD be authorized to make any technical corrections or clarifications as\nnecessary to the above instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this Motion.  \n\nMOTION 72A: AMEND item #72 (CF: 22-0755) to add the following directions: I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA)\, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD)\, Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD)\, the Mayor’s Office\, the Unified Homelessness Response Center (UHRC)\, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)\, to report in 60 days on the status of the City’s partnership with the USC Street Medicine Program\, and funding sources and options for expanding street medicine services across the City. \n\nRoll Call Vote\n \n\n\n\n\nDiscussion and possible action: (CF 22-1313) \n\n\nMOTION: (Los Angeles City Council – HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY COMMITTEE)\nThe most recent Point-in-Time Count data from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) indicate that nearly 6\,500 people experiencing homelessness in the City are living in a total of about 4\,000 recreational vehicles (RVs). That number\, which has grown by 40% since 2018\, represents 22% of the City’s total unsheltered homeless population. All too often\, RVs used as dwellings on LA’s streets are in grave disrepair\, meaning that people living in them face unsanitary and sometimes dangerous conditions. Many residents of RV s also lack access to adequate hygiene facilities. A number of the individuals who live in RVs actually make substantial rent payments to the vehicle’s owner\, paying out hundreds of dollars each month for precarious and substandard housing. RVs have also posed challenges for the neighborhoods in which they are located related to the release of untreated effluent into streets or stormwater drains\, increased risk of fires (especially from external generators)\, and other public safety concerns Since 2010\, the City’s primary response to vehicular homelessness-particularly in RVs-has been a reactive one\, not one that focuses on resolving homelessness for inhabitants of RVs. The City has used LAMC 80.69.4\, a law that allows the City to prohibit the parking of oversized vehicles (those over 84 inches high and 22 feet long) between 2a.m. and 6 a.m on specific streets. Through Council action\, hundreds of streets have been added every year to the list of streets where oversized vehicle parking is prohibited. In addition to street-specific oversized vehicle bans\, people who live in RVs on city streets must comply with rules that prohibit staying in one parking spot for more than 72 hours. Vehicles that violate this rule can be ticketed and towed. During the pandemic\, the City paused ticketing and towing of vehicles with people living in them in accordance with CDC guidelines to allow people experiencing homelessness to shelter in place-safely\, but in April of this year\, the City Council voted to resume parking enforcement for vehicles used as dwellings. This enforcement- based approach to addressing RVs\, however\, has proven to be largely ineffective. Often\, RV dwellers move their vehicles to other streets in response to a ticket or an oversized vehicle prohibition\, meaning that these bans simply move people experiencing homelessness from one street to another.  \nAdditionally\, the City’s capacity to enforce the new rules around RV dwelling is extremely limited-and likely to remain so- because of the lack ofvendors and tow yard space to tow and impound oversized vehicles. It is clear that the City needs to come up with a more effective and holistic response to vehicular homelessness. One option to address vehicular homelessness in RVs is to provide designated sites as “safe parking” lots. Safe parking programs typically provide nighttime security and hygiene facilities\, as well as some case management on site. However\, there are currently very few safe parking sites within the City that are large enough to accommodate RVs. Furthermore\, none of these sites operate 24 hours a day\, which poses a particular challenge for people in RVs\, who do not opt to use the sites because it is onerous or impossible to move their vehicles out of the lots during daytime hours due to the size and condition of the vehicles.  \nAnother strategy is to offer housing options to residents of RVs. Indeed\, the City Administrative Officer (CAO) recently proposed new outreach and engagement protocols to address Citywide vehicle dwelling (CF 21-0956-S1)\, which instructs that prior to towing a vehicle\, housing or shelter referrals should be made to vehicle dwellers “if available.” However\, the City simply does not have adequate numbers of shelter beds or interim housing sites to offer housing to every resident currently in an RV. It is likely that without adequate housing options to offer residents\, strict enforcement of existing RV laws would result in more individuals encamped in tents and makeshift shelters on City sidewalks. Effective housing navigation for people living in RVs will require specialized resources in order to successfully resolve homelessness for residents. Homeless service providers with experience working with residents of RV s report that incentives\, such as small cash payments\, can serve as useful tools to encourage residents moving into housing to relinquish their RVs when they move. Short-term storage options for RVs can also help residents overcome skepticism about moving into an interim housing site.  \nIn the proposed 2022-23 California budget\, Governor Newsom has earmarked $300 million for Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grants. Local governments can apply for ERF grants to create projects that serve people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in encampments. In 2022\, Council District 4 received an ERF grant of$1\,747\,115 to rehouse individuals living unsheltered along a 19-mile stretch ofthe Los Angeles River. Eligible fund uses include street outreach and engagement\, housing navigation\, interim and permanent housing capacity building\, activities to ensure sustained outcomes for people served\, and funding for the restoration of encampment sites. The likely expansion of this flexible funding stream presents a promising opportunity to secure funds to support a City-wide\, comprehensive approach to addressing RV homelessness effectively.  \n\nTHEREFORE MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO)\, with assistance from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the Department of Transportation (LADOT)\, to report back within 60 days with a comprehensive City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness\, in alignment with the City’s Street Engagement Strategy and LAHSA’s Best Practices for Addressing Street Encampments. The strategy should include the following components: Identifying and securing appropriate interim shelter and housing for people living in RV s across the City; Creation of incentives for voluntary relinquishment of RVs used as dwellings; Identifying and securing short-term storage lots for RVs after the owner or dweller moves into interim or permanent housing if the owner or dweller wishes to store the RV for a short time;\nExpanding Safe Parking programs\, in collaboration with LAHSA\, to include oversized/larger RVs in 24-\nhour Safe Parking programming; Demolishing RVs\, after the owner or dweller moves into interim or permanent housing\, with consent of the owner; leveraging case management from sanitation outreach/City-funded generalist outreach teams for people living in RVs\, with a focus on strategies for working with people living in RVs; and Necessary budgetary and staffing resources to implement the strategy.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that the City Council direct the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to report back\nwithin 60 days regarding the possibility of submitting an application on behalf of the City for an ERF grant to support the proposed City-wide rehousing strategy for people experiencing RV homelessness.\n \nRoll Call Vote\n \n\n\nDiscussion and possible action: (CF 21-1208)\nMotion: In 2016 the State of Califomia adopted methane emissions targets in an effort to reduce short-\nlived climate pollutants under SB 1383 requiring all jurisdictions to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. This was a necessary response to scientific discoveries that greenhouse gasses released by “landfilling” food and yard waste is a major contributor to pollutants and climate change.\nThe research uncovered that Califomia landfills are the third largest source of generated methane gas.\nOrganics like food scraps\, yard trimmings\, paper\, and cardboard make up half of what is dumped in our\nlandfills. The new regulations require jurisdictions to adopt and enforce an ordinance on reducing\ncommercial and residential food waste generation. All jurisdictions starting in 2022 will need to provide\norganic waste collection services and utilize recycling facilities\, procure products made from recycled\norganic material\, as well as redirect 20 percent of edible food currently thrown away to those going hungry by the year 2025. Under the new law\, each jurisdiction is accountable for compliance by its sourcegenerators\, and CalRecycle\, the State’s recycling and waste regulatory agency\, is authorized to issue escalating penalties for non-compliance beginning in 2022.\nThe City of Los Angeles has been at the forefront implementing waste collection programs and recycling to address operational eficiencies and climate change. In January 2017 the City approved seven RecycLA contracts for the collection of solid waste\, recycling and organics from large multifamily properties and businesses. These contracts contained specific landfill reduction targets tiat must be contractually met. Since there is always room for improvement\, the City must begin work to ensure our policies are in compliance with the new State regulations beginning in 2022.\nDuring the course of the past year and a half\, City residents have been coping with the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result\, many residents have sought economic relief through the rent\nmoratorium and utility bill assistance. The implementation of the new regulations associated with organics may have an impact on the City residents and businesses as they emerge from the pandemic. Given this\, it is important that the City fully understand the economic impact of these regulations and provide ways to minimize their effect on struggling City residents and businesses. The Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) should be requested to analyze the law and prepare a report with recommendations on phasing in the steps for data-collection\, policy compliance\, and future plans for capital improvements that comply with the new CalRecycle regulations. The City supports the goals to reduce\nemissions of short-lived climate pollutants statewide and the regulations approved by CalRecycle already align with the City’s zero-waste goals.\nI THEREFORE MOVE that the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) be instructed to report to the City Council within 60 days on the steps necessary to comply with the CalRecycle regulations to reduce organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025; and the ability to develop a phased approach to compliance.\nI further move that the BOS\, With the assistance of the City Administrative Officer and the Chief Legislative Analyst\, be instructed to report on the potential impact of the CalRecycle regulations on the ratepayers and methods and approaches to provide relief to ratepayers and minimize potential impacts. \n\n\n\nRoll Call Vote  \n\nDiscussion and possible action: \n\n\n\n\nMotion: The Holidays are upon us and it’s time to send some money to one of the non-profits who are and will be feeding those experiencing homelessness and to approve $1500 to be allocated to New Friends Homeless Center for the weekly Friday dinners for the Homeless at the Woodland Hills United Methodist Church on Shoup Ave\, in Woodland Hills  \n\n\n\n\n Roll Call Vote \n\n\nItems to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting Adjournment of Meeting: \nAdjournment of Meeting\n \nThe Woodland Hills/ Warner Center Neighborhood Council Public Health and Homelessness\nCommittee meets regularly on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm.

This report specifically focuses on the implementation of the Right to Return and Right to Remain provisions of the Housing Crisis Act. Through this report\, the General Manager of LAHD respectfully requests authority to amend the Department’s existing relocation contract to include Right to Return services for displaced tenants. LAHD also requests Council to instruct the City Attorney\, in consultation with LAHD\, to develop an ordinance that would require Right to Return services to be funded through a fee paid by developers as part of a housing development application. Lastly\, the Department seeks approval to revise it land use fee following an internally conducted fee study to support additional staffing for HCA implementation. \nRECOMMENDATIONS \nI. That the City Council\, subject to the approval of the Mayor: \nA. AUTHORIZE the General Manager of LAHD\, or designee\, to execute a contract amendment with Interwest Consulting Group\, Inc. (C-138119). This amendment will increase the contract amount by $200\,000 from the Foreclosure Registry Trust Fund\, Fund No. 56V/43\, Account No. 43WC71- SB330/Relocation and Right to Return Services for a new total contract amount of up to $4\,700\,000\, to provide additional relocation and Right to Return services\, in substantial conformance with the attached draft \nLAHD Report on the Implementation of the Housing Crisis Act pro forma Agreement\, subject to contractor’s performance\, funding availability\, and approval of the City Attorney as to form  \nB. REQUEST the City Attorney\, with the assistance of LAHD\, to draft an ordinance within 60 days for Council approval requiring developers to pay for the cost of Right to Return services as part of the development application based on a new fee or cost study conducted by LAHD.  \nC. REQUEST the City Attorney\, with the assistance of LAHD\, to amend LAMC Section 19.14 to include an \nupdated land use fee amount based on a revised fee study conducted by LAHD and to expand its applicability to cover all affordability covenants required by City ordinances\, regulations and planning \ndeterminations.  \nD. AUTHORIZE the Controller to: i. Establish appropriation Account No. 43WC71-SB330/Relocation and Right to Return Services\, within the Foreclosure Registry Trust Fund (Penalty sub fund)\, Fund No. 56V/43. ii. Appropriate from cash balance in the amount of $200\,000 within the Foreclosure Registry Trust Fund\, Fund No. 56V/43\, Appropriation Account No. 43WC71- SB330/Relocation and Right to Return \nServices\, to fund Interwest Consulting Group\, Inc.\, a contract amendment to be executed for additional relocation and right to return services.\niii. Expend funds not to exceed $200\,000 upon proper demand of the LAHD General Manager\, or designee.  \nE. AUTHORIZE the General Manager of LAHD\, or designee\, to prepare Controller instructions and any necessary technical adjustments consistent with Mayor and City Council actions\, subject to the approval \nof the City Administrative Officer (CAO)\, and instruct the Controller to implement the instructions. \nBACKGROUND \nThe HCA\, which went into effect January 1\, 2020\, significantly increased affordable housing replacement requirements and tenant protections throughout the state. In addition to making several changes to the development process\, the HCA required the replacement of low-income housing and required displaced tenants to be provided relocation\, a Right to Return to the new development\, and a Right to Remain in their units until six months prior to start of construction. In 2020\, LAHD\, City Planning and LADBS provided a report to the PLUM and Housing Committees regarding the provisions and implementation of the HCA. On March 3\, 2021\, the City Council adopted Council Motion 20-0047/19-0400 instructing the departments to report back in more detail on replacement unit requirements\, the HCA’s interactions with other state laws\, and procedures to enforce the occupancy protections established under the HCA. \nItem No (3) Discussion and possible action: (from last month’s meeting) \nThe City’s FY 2021-22 Budget included a $1\,000\,000 pilot program in partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) to deliver medical services to homeless residents. \nThe program also places individuals into various types of housing and provides hygiene services at high-needs locations throughout the City. The program received an additional $1\,000\,000 in the FY 2022-23 Budget to continue these needed services. This current service contract is ending on June 30\, 2022. At this time\, a new contract is required to recognize funding provided to LAHD in the FY 2022-23 Budget Resolution. \nIt is important that a new contract be properly executed with USC through the Los Angeles Housing Department\, administrator for this contract\, to ensure continuity of service. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct and authorize the General Manager of the Los \nAngeles Housing Department (LAHD) or designee to execute a contract with the University of Southern California (USC) to provide street medicine and housing services in the amount of $1\,000\,000 as approved in the City’s FY 22-23 Budget\, and that the contract commence July 1\, 2022 for a term of 12 months\, with an option to extend for an additional 12 months.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that the Council find that the services to be performed by the University of Southern California are for the performance of professional\, scientific\, expert\, technical\, or other special services of a temporary and occasional character for which competitive bidding is not practicable or advantageous and that the work can be performed more economically or feasibly by independent contractors than by City employees.  \nI FURTHER MOVE that LAHD be authorized to make any technical corrections or clarifications as necessary to the above instructions in order to effectuate the intent of this Motion.  \nMOTION 72A: AMEND item #72 (CF: 22-0755) to add the following directions: I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the Office of the City Administrative Officer (CAO) with the assistance of the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA)\, Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD)\, Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD)\, the Mayor’s Office\, the Unified Homelessness Response Center (UHRC)\, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA)\, to report in 60 days on the status of the City’s partnership with the USC Street Medicine Program\, and funding sources and options for expanding street medicine services across the City. \nItems to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting \nAdjournment of Meeting: \nThe next Committee Meeting will be held on 28 February 2023\, by teleconference.
