However\, the rear flag lot is 20 ft. wide at the midpoint and thus does not conform to the lot width requirement of minimum 70 feet at the midpoint for RA-1 zoned parcels as defined by Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Article 2\, Sections 12.03 (lot width definition) and 12.07. C. 4\, (“RA” Suburban Zone Standards minimum width requirement); and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, the CD3 Council Office and the South Valley Area Planning Commission have opposed lot splits in the neighborhood in the past\, and there have been no new lot splits approved in Walnut Acres since 2006; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, most existing flag lots in the Walnut Acres community pre-date and do not comply with the current regulations\, and according to City Planning may not be developable because they cannot meet current fire regulations\, and thus set no precedent for these applications\, and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, and especially on the five properties adjoining the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating an nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\,\n\n  \n\nWHEREAS\, a title search for the property reveals a Grant Deed that restricts\n\nfurther subdivision of the property without written permission of the Grantors; and\, \n\nWHEREAS\, according to the SB 9 Fact Sheet\, issued by California Department of Housing and Community Development\, dated March 2022\, parcels located in agricultural zones\, thus RA-1 zoned properties\, are not subject to SB 9 mandates.\n\n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 23139 Collins Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width nonconformance not receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \n  \nAND FURTHERMORE\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings\, and its subsequent recommendation to not support these applications as presented to the WHWCNC Board on Oct. 11\, 2023. \n  \nItem No. 5 \n  \nPublic Safety and Transportation\, Rachel Tabak\, Chair \n(23-062) Motion to Support Recommendations Proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nTraffic safety has long been a concern on State Highway 27 / Topanga Canyon Blvd.  While traffic studies and piecemeal safety improvements have been proposed and/or implemented by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and the Warner Center Neighborhood Protection Plan Committee (a subcommittee of the Warner Center 2035 Plan Implementation Board)\, many of proposals/implementation pause at Topanga Canyon Blvd. because it falls under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). \n  \nCouncilmember Blumenfield’s Office – specifically the Councilmember’s Legislative Director Jeff Jacobberger\, and Woodland Hills Field Deputy/Land Use Planning Deputy Seth Samuels – have been working with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation\, State Senator Henry Stern’s Office\, and State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel’s Office to coordinate a meeting with Caltrans to review and (hopefully) implement the proposed traffic safety improvements on Topanga Canyon Blvd. \n  \nWE\, the Public Safety Committee of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, THEREFORE MOVE to bolster the following recommendations proffered by the Councilmember’s Office to Caltrans: \n  \nGeneral Requests: \n\nReassess the need for\, and hours of\, peak hour lanes.\n\n\n\n\nPeak-hour lanes in both directions in both AM and PM? Do they need to run from 7a-10a and then again from 3p-7p? Do we need them on Saturdays? If parking was allowed from 9a-4p (instead of 10a-3p) and on Saturdays\, would that help the businesses on Topanga Canyon Blvd? Caltrans and/or LADOT should have traffic counts to help make this determination.\n\n\n\n\nChange the parking time limit from 1 hour to 2 hours.\n\n\n\n\n1 hour is way too short. It discourages people from parking there; less people parking means that the curb lane becomes a raceway even during the non-peak hours.\n\n\n\n\nUpgrade all curb ramps to fully ADA-compliant ramps; and repair all broken sidewalks\nPlant lots of street trees\n\n\n\n\nThere is a need to reassess the species of trees that are planted in the public right-of-way\n\n\n\n\nRelocate Metro Line 150 and LADOT bus stops as needed.\nTaking TCB Out of the State Highway Network (at least a portion of it)\n\nLocation-Specific Requests: \n\nat Sherman Way: There is a short gap in the Sherman Way bike lanes at Topanga Canyon Blvd.\nat Gault: signalize the crosswalk at OLV Catholic Church and potentially install a mid-block refuge island.\nat Hart/Bell Creek: the City’s long-range plan calls for creating biking/walk paths on all our waterways\, including Bell Creek\, so it may make sense to add a signalized ped/bike crossing.\nat Vanowen: it does not look like the sidewalk on the west side of TCB alongside the AT&T Building is ADA-compliant.\n\n\n\n\nGet an access agreement from AT&T if needed and create a minimum 5 foot-wide sidewalk along this section.\n\n\n\n\nb/w Oxnard St. / Burbank Blvd.: in the southbound direction (at least on weekends)\, people race down the curb peak hour lane from Oxnard\, and then have to cut in because there are always cars parked once you get closer to Burbank.\n\nRoll Call Vote  \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \n(23-063)  Motion to approve $2\,000 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for the West Valley Food Pantry  \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                           (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $2.000 for a Neighborhood Purpose grant for the West Valley Food Pantry .  The West Valley Food Pantry currently feeds approximately 700 families a week.
