They seek to be able to operate from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.\, daily. The project does not involve any interior or exterior alterations to the building\, and there will be no entertainment. \n  \nMOTION: \nAs pertaining to the proposed issuance of a CUB for serving a full line of alcoholic beverages at Kourosh Restaurant\, 22635 Ventura Blvd\, Woodland Hills CA\, 91367\, and after having held one(1) public meeting over Zoom for the application filed by the restaurant owner\, Famoush Ranjbari\, the WHWCNC Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds \nthat: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project is in basic compliance with all of the requirements of the Los Angeles City Municipal Code\, and the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC); and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project adheres to all of the requirements of the City’s and State’s codes without requesting variances or exemptions; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the restaurant seeks to be able to operate from 8 AM to 2:00 AM daily; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the restaurant will have 9 parking spaces specifically designated for their use\, and dozens of other parking spaces that patrons may us within the shopping center lot; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, there will be no modifications to either the interior or exterior of the restaurant; \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning Land Use and Mobility Committee (PLUM)\, for the findings and recommendations stated herein\, recommends that the application and plans submitted by Kourosh Restaurant at 22635 Ventura Blvd. for a CUB to sell and serve a full line of alcoholic beverages receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC). \n  \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee also 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 recommendations to SUPPORT this motion presented to the WHWCNC Board on June 11\, 2025. \n  \nMotion: Matt Richman \nSecond: Marty Lipkin \n  \nVOTE:     YES -6 (Steurer\, Wasserman\, Rice\, Richman\, Fletcher\, Lipkin) \nNO -0 \nABSTAIN-0 \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. 3 \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(24-51) (CIS) Community Impact Statement\, Council File 25-0600-S7 \n  \nFor discussion and possible action                                                            (estimated time 15 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File 25-0600-S7 \n  \nThe WHWCNC joins other Neighborhood Councils in Supporting Council File 25-0600-S7 for the City Council to restore Neighborhood Council (NC) budgets from the current proposed $25\,000 back to $32\,000. \nThe $32\,000 funding is critical for operational effectiveness\, community engagement\, and support for local nonprofits and community focused events. This proposed reduction represents less than half of the original $50\,000 allocation intended when Neighborhood Councils were initially established\, not accounting for inflation\, which significantly magnifies the impact of this funding decrease. \nThe WHWCNC also requests a rollover of supplemental funds from the prior fiscal year.  Unspent rollover funds are a part of each NC’s allocated  funds and are necessary to maintain effective community outreach and engagement\, as has been practiced in previous fiscal years. \n  \nVote at Committee:    Yes 3  No 0  Abstain 0. \n  \nhttps://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=25-0600-S7 \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 4 \nJoyce Fletcher\, Chair of Community Services Committee \n(24-052) (CIS) Community Impact Statement\, Council File 25-0002-S29 \n  \nFor discussion and possible action                                                            (estimated time 15 minutes) \n  \nCouncil File No: 25-0002-S29 – Support AB 867. \n  \nMotion: The WHWCNC Board to supports AB 867.

The WHWCNC also objects to the exemptions being considered in the \nMunicipal Lobbying Ordinance for 501(c)(3)s and 501(c)(5)s as these exemptions have been abused and used as an avenue for corrupt practices and activities. \n  \nIn May 2022\, the Ethics Commission recommended comprehensive updates to the \nMunicipal Lobbying Ordinance (MLO). See Council File No. 22-0560. The Ad Hoc Committee \non Government Reform held hearings on the Ethics Commission’s policy proposal in February \nand March of 2023. \nBut no further action was taken and the council file expired on March 17\, 2025. \nOn April 23\, 2025\, the members of the Ethics Commission voted to retransmit the previous 2022 recommendations. \nThe City Council is required to hold a public hearing on policy proposals that are transmitted by the Ethics Commission within 180 days. If a hearing is not held within that time period\, the City Clerk is required to schedule the policy proposal at the next regular City Council meeting.
