Item No. (8) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline, Chair
(22-048) Community Impact Statement – Council File 19-0603
RE: City Building Code Fire District 1 Expansion / California Department of Forestry / Fire Protection Very High Fire Severity Zone / City High Wind Velocity Zone / Ordinance

Discussion and possible action: (15 minutes)

Motion & CF 19-0603 CIS-report recommending LA eliminate FD1, adopt the International Building Code [BC] & the CA 2021 BC inclusive of all TYPE IV BCs incorporating them into LABC

The Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee did research and conducted three (3) virtual meetings. It received lengthy multi-round stakeholder and lobbyist comments and expert commentary on construction, engineering, building codes, and building fire safety. Upon discussion, WHIP, by a unanimous vote, recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC) adopt the following Community Impact Statement as its own, and submit it to Council File 19-0603, the Los Angeles City Council Members, the City Council PLUM Committee, the LA Department of

Building and Safety, the LA City Ethics Commission, the LA Fire Department, the Woodland Hills Homeowners Organization, the Warner Center Association and the West Valley Chamber of Commerce.
This action joins with the Neighborhood Councils of Mission Hills, South Robertson, Hollywood United, Encino, North Westwood, Los Feliz, Central Hollywood, Eagle Rock, Reseda, North Hollywood, Studio City, Silverlake, and Downtown Los Angeles plus the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance, which have already passed motions opposing the impacts of Council File: 19–0603, which includes an action to retain and expand of Fire District 1.
Please see the attached and posted (10) page motion. Roll Call Vote

Item No. (9) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline, Chair
(22-049) Community Impact Statement (CIS) – Council File 21-1431

Discussion and possible action: (15 minutes)

CIS Supporting the City Councils efforts to clarify wording and intent to require a net increase in affordable housing units [AHU] beyond AHUs replaced when granting AHU incentives for a replacement building.
The WHIP Committee submits the following CIS regarding support for the City Council’s action in Council File 21-1431 to clarify City Policy concerning how many affordable housing units are required for a project asking for incentives to get them to provide affordable residential units. Due to unclear drafting by the State legislature of two bills, an interpretation by the City Attorney has contributed to City Departments not requiring developers to include as many affordable units as intended. WHIP asks the WHWCNC board to adopt the CIS as its own and send it to City officials as indicated.

Suppose a developer demolishes five (5) affordable residential units to create a new multi-family building. The law says these have to be replaced as affordable housing units. The developer also seeks incentives, such as additional height or reduced setbacks if the developer provides some specified number of affordable housing units. Hypothetically, in exchange for a taller building, the project must provide three (3) affordable units to the project to add to the City’s stock of affordable units.
Currently, the City Attorney’s interpretation allows the three required incentive units to count toward the required five replacement units, so the developer only provides five affordable units.

The intention of the separately enacted State laws is to replace 5 units demolished and incentivize adding 3 more affordable units to result in a total of 8 affordable units.

This CIS supports a City Policy that would require the whole total number of affordable units along with other tenant protections as was intended, so that there is a net gain in units from what previously existed.

Community Impact Statement Council File: 21-1431

SB 8 / Occupant Protection Provisions Extension / SB 330 Housing Preservation / California Government Code Section 66300 / Proposed Housing Development Projects / Application and Permit Process
Regarding Council File 21-1431, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies Committee finds that;
WHEREAS, Council File #21-1431, carried by Councilmembers Bonin, Raman, and Harris-Dawson, seeks to correct a wording error contained in SB 8, effective January 1, 2022; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted the HOUSING COMMITTEE REPORT on January 26, 2022; and

WHEREAS, California Senate Bill 330 (SB330), “The Housing Crisis Act of 2019” (HCA), contains provisions that provide tenants protections for units that are “protected units” that low-income tenants occupy. These rental units are or were, within the five years prior, covenanted as rent-stabilized units, subject to any form of rent or price control within the five (5) years past, or that were withdrawn from rent or lease per the Ellis Act, within the past ten (10) years; and,
WHEREAS, SB330 gives Occupants of Protected Units additional protections, including the right of First Refusal in any new development; relocation benefits and replacement of units of comparable size and price for low-income tenants; and the ability to remain in their residential units until six (6) months before the commencement of construction of the new housing development; and,
WHEREAS, SB 330 provides for the sunset of the State Bill on January 1, 2025; and,
WHEREAS, effective January 1, 2022, Senate Bill 8 (SB8), extends the provisions of SB 330 (the HCA) to January 1, 2034. SB8 clarifies that SB330 intended to apply to proposed housing development projects consisting of one or more units (including units requiring no discretionary approval and those requiring discretionary approval). However, it also provides that the HCA shall only apply to a housing development project that submits a preliminary application before January 1, 2030. This language was a drafting error that, per the City Attorney, limits the types of housing development projects upon which the City may apply the replacement obligations and tenant protections; and,
WHEREAS, Council File #21-1431 seeks correction of the drafting error. The action directs the City Attorney and the Department of Planning to draft an ordinance that includes an urgency clause. The intention requires the replacement obligations and occupant protection of SB330 and SB8 to apply to Housing Development Projects that submit a complete application; file a complete set of building plans for plan check and permit; or receive a project or permit approval after January 1, 2022. This action eliminates any gap inapplicability of the replacement obligations and occupant protections, prevents the loss of replacement units and their protections, and consistently maintains the application of replacement obligations and occupant protection as both Senate Bills intended;
THEREFORE, the Woodland Hills Issues and Policies [WHIP] Committee moves that the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council support the adoption of a Los Angeles City Ordinance that provides the consistency of tenant protections and obligations provided for in both SB 330 and SB 8 as proposed in Council File #21-1431.
FURTHERMORE, the WHIP Committee recommends that the Board of the WHWCNC submit this CIS presented to the WHWCNC Board and approved on April 9, 2022, to the City Clerk of Los Angeles and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield.

Item No. (10) PLUM Committee – Lauren Coffman, Chair
(22-050) Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375
Prince of Peace Church, West Valley Food Pantry
5700 Rudnick Street, Woodland Hills CA

Discussion and possible action (20 minutes)

Prince of Peace Church/West Valley Food Pantry, located at 5700 Rudnick Street in Woodland Hills, submitted a Conditional Use Permit application to construct a 1-story 6,646 sq. ft. building in 2 phases to house a commercial-size kitchen, food storage, offices, multipurpose rooms, and vehicular food distribution.
Phase 1 will consist of a 4,390 sq. ft. building to contain a warehouse, two open work rooms and three office spaces, restrooms, and various associated utility rooms and a new north parking lot.
Phase 2 will add an additional 2,256 sq. ft. to the building which will contain two community rooms, a small office and an 852 sq. ft. commercial-size kitchen.

After holding three (3) virtual public teleconference meetings, including committee discussion, regarding City Planning Case ZA-2021-8374 and ENV-2021-8375, the Planning, Land Use, and Mobility Committee [PLUM] finds that:

WHEREAS, the existing Conditional Use Permits issued for the church property do not authorize use of the property for Food Pantry activities; and,

WHEREAS, the proposed project site is zoned A1, which prohibits any use that disrupts and is inconsistent with the neighborhood’s residential character; and,

WHEREAS, the current and proposed food distribution hours are 9:30 am. to 2:00 pm Monday thru Thursday and 9:30 am. to noon on Friday. The applicant states, in the application, that the primary purpose of the expansion is for the continued existing social services that occur from 7:00 am. to 2:30 pm. Monday thru Thursday and 7:00 am. to 12:30 pm. on Fridays for volunteers, clients and staff; and,

WHEREAS, the applicant claims inefficiency of existing Food Pantry operations occupying a church building and the main church parking lot; and,

WHEREAS, the current CUP does not put any limits on growth of the Food Pantry; and,

WHEREAS, The Food Pantry’s observed distribution of food to approximately 35 vehicles (or 70 trips) per hour does not fit expectations for a residential collector street like Rudnick Avenue; and,

WHEREAS, the application is for permission for two or more uses beyond the existing religious use. These include a receiving/repacking/distribution warehouse of food goods and packing materials, and a kitchen; and,

WHEREAS, the onsite distribution of groceries and the associated problems of traffic, noise, and litter in the neighborhood are inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood; and,

WHEREAS, the Food Pantry provides a valuable charitable service for the distribution of donated and purchased food to the residents of Woodland Hills and surrounding communities who are in need and suffering from food insecurity; and

WHEREAS, the community supports the mission of providing services to insecure populations, the Food Pantry’s operations outgrew the existing site’s allowable uses and activity levels.

WHEREAS, the food distribution portion of the Food Pantry process creates the majority of issues that disrupt and are inconsistent with the residential neighborhood, other alternative methods for food distribution must be found;
THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED, for the findings stated hereinabove, the Board of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council receives and adopts the Planning, Land Use and Mobility Committee’s recommendation as its own.
The Board Multipart Resolution is:

To support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 1 construction, using State funds, and use of a 1-story Food Pantry building limited to operation as a warehouse and associated workspaces, to be used solely by the Food Pantry, plus an additional parking lot on the Prince of Peace property at 5700 Rudnick Street in Woodland Hills; and,
To not support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 1 operation of an on-site distribution of food. PLUM recommends that Food Pantry find another suitable location or method for distribution; and,

To support a Conditional Use Permit for Phase 2 construction and operation of a building addition to the Phase 1 building, paid for by Prince of Peace Church, to include a small commercial-size kitchen, two community rooms, and a small office that the Food Pantry can use with the permission of Prince of Peace Church on weekdays when the Food Pantry is operating.

Contingent upon the following:
Conditions:

The use of the State Grant funds shall be limited to Phase 1 of the development.

The Conditional Use Permit must specifically address all allowed Food Pantry activities.

Ongoing use of the Church’s facility by the Food Pantry outside of the proposed new facility shall require a new conditional use permit for review of operations and community impact.

The applicant shall terminate the on-site food distribution process and find alternate methods for food distribution such as, but not limited to:

Transfer food distribution to sites one or more coalition members
Develop a mobile distribution system that reaches selected locations in the community.

The applicant shall establish a prominently posted hotline, or similar means, for nearby residents to report complaints and receive responses, supported by a joint homeowners and Food Pantry committee to ensure prompt and equitable resolution.

6. Discussion and Possible Action: Discussion and Possible Action on Neighborhood Purpose Grants (“NPG”) to fund the HiSET Exams fee for students of the West Valley Occupational Center (adult education). Adult students who have not earned a high school diploma are required to pay a $150 fee to take the HiSET (formerly the GED) exam. Although classes at WVOC are currently tuition-free, each student must pay for their own HiSET exam fee. This grant of $900.00 will be used to support the administration of the HiSET exam for students in need. The HiSET is the high school equivalency test administered by the Los Angeles Unified School District through a nationally recognized vendor (ETS). After passing the exam, students are qualified to pursue a career or transfer to a college or university. This grant would benefit the community by allowing residents who previously were unable to pay for the test, to take the test and thereby gain employment or continue their journey to higher education. (Mihran Kalaydjian – Vice-Chair)

Community Impact Statement (CIS)

Discussion and possible action: (10 minutes)

Community Impact Statement to Support the establishment of a long-term State funding
stream dedicated to solving the State’s housing and homelessness crisis.
Council File: 22-0002-S56
The Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council supports this Resolution,
CF (22-0002-S56), which calls to establish a long-term funding stream dedicated to solving the
State’s housing and homelessness crisis. As the Resolution states, the number of persons
experiencing homelessness in the City of Los Angeles and the State has increased in the last
few years. Voters in California and Los Angeles have indicated that homelessness and housing
are their top concerns that must be solved. There is an urgent need for a funding stream from
the State to address the housing and homelessness crisis of California, which has grown
exponentially since 1989, when the Little Hoover Commission recommended the State establish
this funding for this issue which will continue to grow in the face of equanimity and without serious action.

Item No. (10) Education Committee – Reina McCaughey, Chair and Mihran Kalaydjian, Vice Chair
(22-060) Funding Request – NPG for West Valley Occupational Center

Discussion and possible action: (10 minutes)

Motion for the board to approve funding of $900.00 from the General NPG fund to fund the HiSET Exams fee for students of the West Valley Occupational Center (adult education). Adult students who have not earned a high school diploma are required to pay a $150 fee to take the HiSET (formerly the GED) exam. Although classes at WVOC are currently tuition-free, each student must pay for their own HiSET exam fee. This grant of $900.00 will be used to support the administration of the HiSET exam for students in need. The HiSET is the high school equivalency test administered by the Los Angeles Unified School District through a nationally recognized vendor (ETS). After passing the exam, students are qualified to pursue a career or transfer to a college or university. This grant would benefit the community by allowing residents who previously were unable to pay for the test, to take the test and thereby gain employment or continue their journey to higher education,

Should WHWCNC support, not support without changes or not support, CF 22-0158, a motion [Bonin, Raman, Harris-Dawson/Blumenfield] to amend LAMC 12.03 / 12.80 / 12.81 to allow Shelters for the Homeless and other interim housing in zones where they are not currently allowed, such as R-1, R-2, RE and RA-1.
Additional Reference Material posted when available on whcouncil.com event page for this meeting.

Consideration with possible action for CIS regarding changes to recent changes on limiting Public Comment at City Council to only those present in-person with entry restrictions.

LA City Council has resumed in-person meetings, but they are not allowing public comment via telephone. The recent city council agendas state:
“Members of the public may also attend City Council meetings in-person. Public comment will be taken in-person, only, and not via teleconference. Please note that, pursuant to Mayoral directives, proof of Covid-19 vaccination or proof of a negative Covid-19 test within the prior 72 hours will be required to enter the City Hall building, and indoor masking will be required regardless of vaccination status.”
Additional Reference Material posted when available on whcouncil.com event page for this meeting.

Consideration with possible action for CIS regarding CF 20-0990, a motion regarding implementation of required training for NC Board and Committee Members.

Reference Link: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=20-0990
This report back lists seven specific areas of concern that the general manager of DONE wants the committee to consider. The central theme is how to force board members to complete this training, including allowing the GM to change the bylaws of all NCs to achieve this goal. The GM would have unilateral authority to make all rules and regulations related to this training. The report recommends giving the GM authority over “current and future required trainings” for NCs without limits on the topics of any such training. That means future training on any topic could be mandated by the GM without input from anyone else, especially the NCs. Other recommendations are to allow the department to not only change bylaws which shall take precedence over any inconsistent language in the Neighborhood Council’s bylaws. That means potentially creating bylaws with incorrect information with no way to fix wording until the next “window of opportunity” to update. The report summary includes references on how to force board members and committee members to take the diversity training as well as gender expression and gender identity training. It proposes that City Council directives require providing the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment with authority to carry them out. This relates to the 7 key items mentioned in the report.

Dear Stakeholder,

Today, Los Angeles City Planning is releasing updated draft land use designations for the three Community Plans of the Southwest Valley:

Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills,
Encino-Tarzana, and
Reseda-West Van Nuys-Lake Balboa.

You can explore the proposed land use designations in detail via the online StoryMap. The StoryMap tool is a guided experience that contains interactive maps and online feedback forms to make it easy for you to review the proposed content and share your comments.

As part of this release, the Southwest Valley team has developed a three-part video series to provide background information and answer questions you may have regarding the Community Plans Update.

The Video Series

Part One provides an introduction to the Community Planning process and the City’s new Zoning Code, gives an overview of the Southwest Valley geography, and discusses changes to the boundaries of the Community Plans as well as the introduction of the Ventura Corridor as part of the Community Plans Update process.

Part Two focuses on the vision for the Southwest Valley Community Plans Update and discusses the strategies behind the newly proposed land use designations for achieving this vision.

Part Three focuses on the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan, discussing its place within the overall Community Plans Update process and future possibilities for the specific plan area.

Please click on each part above to view the videos, which can also be found on ourwebsite.

Virtual Office Hours

Additionally, the Southwest Valley team will be holding office hours wherein stakeholders may set up a time to speak one-on-one with planning staff. The office hours provide an opportunity for more in-depth discussions of topics relevant to the Community Plans Update.

If you are interested in signing up for an office hours session, please RSVP here.

Outside of these office hours, you may also provide feedback on the land use proposals via our Feedback Form. In the coming months, City Planning will release the Draft Zoning and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Southwest Valley Community Plans, which will be followed by a comment period for the environmental document.We look forward to hearing your feedback and ideas for the Draft Plan.

Thank you for your continued engagement in the Southwest Valley Community Plans Update.
