The Education Committee voted to approve and is requesting funding of $3\,000 toward their cost of $4\,565 plus incidental travel costs to provide supplemental science education from Discovery Cube\, an outside vendor. These on-campus STEM workshops are scheduled annually for a school day TBD in May 2024\, and will happen regardless of how much funding the Neighborhood Council chooses to grant (see attached NPG & supporting documentation). \nMitra Hormozian\, PTO Vice President provided the committee a detailed presentation of the elements of the program\, including an invoice from the vendor costing $11.00 per student for curriculum differentiated by grade level. Discovery Cube is the vendor\, delivering hands-on science education for the past 35 years in STEM proficiency\, early childhood education\, healthy living\, and environmental stewardship. Discovery Cube’s education teams transform the typical teacher-centered classroom by executing workshops and assemblies that require students to actively engage in hands-on experiences and discovery to find solutions to everyday challenges. These real-world applications give learners an opportunity to identify science as a solution and as a force for good in their communities. This STEM program serves all 415 Calabash students: TK through 5th grade students including students with special educational needs; and\, \nUpon support of this grant request\, Mitra Hormozian has conveyed that the PTO has offered NC recognition in their parental email blasts and the WHWC Neighborhood Council free space and an outreach table (we can bring our pop-up 10×10 booth setup – NC volunteers needed) at their Spring Carnival Saturday April 13\, 2024\, at the LDS Church off Mulholland (4501 Deseret Dr. WH\, Ca 91364) from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The WHWC Neighborhood Council has granted this request to the Calabash PTO in the past; and\, \nWHEREAS\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion via Zoom at a properly noticed virtual meeting under SB-411 voted to recommend to the full Board passage and funding of the attached NPG; and\, \nTHEREFORE\, The Education Committee\, moves-requests that the WHWCNC full board (1.) Approve the attached Calabash PTO NPG for $3000.00 and direct the treasurer to submit the NPG and supporting documentation to the City Clerk for funding; and (2.) Rally our Area-7 Board Members\, Outreach and Community Services Committees to help provide table items and booth support at the April 13th event and encourage many of our board members to sign up for volunteer time. \nYES: Julie Waltrip\, Heath Kline\, Shelly Schwartz\, Allan Biggins. ABSTAIN: Reina Cerros McCaughey. \n[4-YES\, 1-ABSTAIN] \nSee Calabash NPG (17 pages) included supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. 4 \nTracey Rosen\, Chair of Outreach Committee \n(24-030) Motion to Approve up to $275 for Printing Rack Cards \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $275 from the Outreach Events budget for the printing of 1\,000 Rack Cards by Minute Man Press in Woodland Hills\, or another local printer\, to be distributed at Community Events to promote the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council and educate Stakeholders about our activities. The Community Outreach Committee voted in favor on February 26\, 2024 \nPASS: YES: 5 NO: 0 ABSTAIN: 0 TOTAL: 5 \nYES: Tracey Rosen\, Harout Aristakessian\, Joyce Fletcher\, Masha Dowell\, Steve Sommers \nSee posted support document                                                                                                 Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 5 \nTracey Rosen\, Chair of Outreach Committee \n(24-031) Motion to Approve up to $5\,000 to purchase Promotional Items \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $5\,000 to purchase promotional items from Outreach budget line item in revised budget 4Imprint to be distributed at Community Events where the WHWCNC will be tabling. The $5\,000 will be taken from Outreach line item in the revised budget. The Community Outreach Committee voted in favor on February 26\, 2024. \nBecause of a daily maximum charge of $1\,000 on the WHWCNC credit card\, and because each item is custom manufactured to order\, which may result in multiple items shipping on the same date and/or all different dates\, which may result in the need for the treasurer to obtain temporary daily spending limit increase(s) from the City Clerk. In addition\, depending on when items ship on this order\, combined with NCs other normal credit card spending\, the treasurer may need to seek an override to the $5\,000 monthly spending limit on the NC credit card from the City Clerk. To facilitate working with the City Clerk on any needed overrides\, the order will be divided and placed as follows: \n\n2\,000 WHWCNC 3”x3” Branded Sticky Pads up to $1\,000 ($0.39 each + tax & shipping) $937.71\n550 Green WHWCNC Branded Value Grocery Totes up to $1\,000 ($1.21 each + $50 set-up\, tax & shipping) $980.48\n1\,000 WHWCNC Branded Hand Fans up to $775 ($0.56 + $65 set-up\, tax & shipping) $747.46\n650 WHWCNC Branded Sunglasses up to $1\,000 ($1.25 each + $20 set-up\, tax & shipping) $953.61\n825 WHWCNC Branded Power Clips up to $950 ($0.86 each + $55 set-up\, tax & shipping $917.38\n\nPASS: YES: 5 NO: 0 ABSTAIN: 0 TOTAL: 5 \nYES: Tracey Rosen\, Harout Aristakessian\, Joyce Fletcher\, Masha Dowell\, Steve Sommers \nSee posted support document                                                                                                 Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 6 \nDena Weiss\, President \n(24-032) Motion to Approve up to $2\,500 to purchase WHWCNC T Shirts \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \nMotion to approve up to $2\,250 for 100 screen printed WHWCNC navy\, and 10 screen printed WHWCNC green  t-shirts AND 36 embroidered WHWCNC branded Polo Shirts from Outreach line item in revised budget.

DONE has informed the WHWCNC that our current annual Zoom license is up for renewal in April\, and going forward DONE will no longer cover this cost for NCs. \nWith the passage SB-411\, NCs once again have the option to meet 100% remotely and invite public participation using Zoom (that was quite effective for this NC during the COVID health emergency) and NCs have options\, with restrictions\, under SB-411and AB-2449 to conduct hybrid-remote and in person meetings with public participation using Zoom\, that this NC has voted to do\, and our full board has done using borrowed equipment at a successful test in December. Recently committees of the NC have conducted successful 100% remote meeting using our Zoom license. \nPrior to COVID the WHWCNC has occasions to have multiple committees meet at the same time in person. However\, had scheduling difficulties and conflicts during COVID with only one Zoom licensee to share-use. Zoom has also been used by board members to carry out their collaborative implementation duties efficiently. \nTHEREFORE\, the NC treasurer is directed to (a.) Renew the NC’s expiring Zoom license at an annual cost of $200.00; and (b.) obtain a second Zoom License at an annual cost of $200.00 through DONE. The treasurer is directed to complete any necessary documentation with the City Clerk and DONE to facilitate the transfer of NC funds to DONE to cover these annual Zoom license costs. \nThese reoccurring NC operating expenses are to be expensed under the Office/Operation Expenditures [OOE] budget category. The treasurer is directed to create a new Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS budget line under OEE \nThe governance committee passed this motion unanimously. [5 Yes]. \nYes: Weiss\, Rosen\, Kline\, DiBiase\, Patterson.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (8) \nHeath Kline\, Treasurer \n(24-034) Budget Reallocation Motion to support new funding approved in Agenda items 3-7 (24-029 through 24-033) above \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                             (5 minutes) \n  \nTo facilitate the spending authorized in the proceeding March motions Items 2-7 (24-029 through 24-033) increases are required to the Outreach and Neighborhood Purpose Grant [NPG] Budget Categories\, that can come from unspent funds available in the Community Improvement Project [CIP] Budget Category. \n  \nTherefore\, the Treasurer is directed to (a.) decrease the CIP Budget Category from $4\,000 to $3\,000 a change of ($1\,000.00); and (b.) increase the NPG Budget Category from $7\,700 to $7\,800 a change of $100.00; and (c.) increase the Outreach Budget Bategory from $16\,050 to $16\,950 a change of $900.00. \n  \nIn addition\, the Treasurer is directed to make the follow changes within Budget Categories: \n  \nIn the Office/Operational Expenditures [OOE] Budget Category (a) decrease by ($400.00) the budget line Email and Web Hosting and Support changing it from 3\,000.00 to 2\,600.00; and (b.) create a new budget line Zoom Virtual Meeting SaaS; and (c.) provide it with a budget of $400.00. \n  \nThe treasurer should make the following changes of importance to our NC’s internal budget and expense tracking\, (but not the City Clerk who only recognizes budget line details in categories other than OEE when a BAC is submitted): \n  \nIn the NPG Budget Category give a $3\,000 budget for the Friends of Calabash NPG budget line. \n  \nIn the CIP Budget Category set the Education Project budget line to $0 (The Education Committee has no plans for a CIP this FY.) \n  \nIn the OUTREACH Budget Category give the necessary budget line funding to the March expenditures; (a.) Minuteman Press Rack Cards $275\, (b.) 4Imprint $5\,000\, (c.)T-Shirt Guy $2\,500 and change the previous existing budget line details as follows; (d.) Social Media $0\, (e.)Warner Center News $0\, (f) Website Hosting $19.99\, Website Webmaster $0\, General Outreach $174.01. \n  \nThe Board approves and authorizes all the budget changes outlined above and directs the treasurer to file this updated budget with the City Clerk\, as required\, and use this updated budget going forward. \n  \nThe Board and public can see all the above changes\, and March proposed spending motions (shown in blue)\, as well as all our YTD spending activities on the “Draft Reallocation Budget MOTION  3/13/24 Item 8 (24-034)” spread sheet PDF document included in the March support documents.                           \n  \nRoll Call Vote \nItem No. (9) \nDena Weiss\, Chair of Governance \n(24-035) Motion to Approve Changes to Bylaws \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                              (20 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve updates and revisions to Bylaws for the WHWCNC.

Calvert Street\, Woodland Hills CA 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                 (10 minutes) \n  \nThe applicant is proposing to subdivide an RA-1 zoned lot into 2 lots  creating a flag lot on the rear of the property.  Applicant is also requesting a Zoning Administrator adjustment regarding under width access stem at the midpoint of the rear lot. \n  \nMOTION \nAs pertaining to Cases AA-2023-6519-PMLA and ZA-2023-6534-ZAA\, having held 1 public \nPLUM in person meeting for the application to permit subdivision of the parcel at 22840 \nCalvert St. Woodland Hills\, into two lots\, creating a flag lot in the rear\, in an RA-1 zone\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment to allow 20 ft. lot width\, at the midpoint of the proposed rear lot\, in lieu of the required 70 ft. minimum lot width\, the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, based on the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, the proposed lot split does not involve a parcel landlocked by topography; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the Preliminary Parcel Map provided by the applicant\, as part of the application\, shows 2 lots conforming to zoning regulations for minimum area.  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  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant intends to construct two (2) single family dwellings\, totaling 10\,720 sqft. on the property; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and subsequent development can impinge on the animal keeping privileges of adjoining property owners authorized by the RA-1 zoning regulations\, and thus deprive owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning which they chose; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split will result in a nonconforming flag lot increasing the density\, in a very low density residential community as designated by the General Plan\, and thus deprive Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed lot split and nonconforming flag lot will potentially create privacy issues and conflicts with adjoining residents\, and will potentially depreciate the value of adjoining properties; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots change the character of the Walnut Acres community and have the            potential to destroy the character and semi-rural atmosphere of the entire Walnut Acres  RA-1 zoned community thus depriving Walnut Acres owners of the value of the RA-1 zoning; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, flag lots\, hidden from the street\, tend to promote neighborhood disturbances and criminal activity; and\, \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  \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  \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; and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, the applicant presented no justification that will allow the Zoning Administrator to take away rights from adjacent property owners without rezoning the property\, and\, \n  \nWHEREAS\, due to the numerous negative impacts of flag lots on the Walnut Acres community\, especially on the three properties adjoining the project site\, and the immediate neighborhood over stressed by 3 existing pre-2006 flag lots within 500 feet of the project site\, an adjustment of the width of the proposed rear lot from 70 ft. to 20 ft.\, at the midpoint\, creating another nonconforming flag lot\, is not warranted; and\, \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED\, that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility \nCommittee\, for the findings and conditions stated herein above\, finds that the application for subdivision of an RA-1 zoned parcel at 22840 Calvert Street into two lots creating a flag lot\, and the application for Zoning Administrator adjustment for midpoint lot width \nnonconformance 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 presented to the WHWCNC Board on 1-10-2024. \n  \nVote at PLUM Committee: \nMotion: Henry Rice\, Second Joyce Fletcher: Aye 7\, Nay zero\, Abstain one. \n  \nSee supporting document                                                                                                       Roll Call Vote \n  \n  \nItem No. (7) Community Services Committee – Chair\, Joyce Fletcher \n(24-007) Funding Request – WHWCNC Outreach/Promotional Items \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                   (5 minutes) \nMotion for the board to approve funding up to $2\,500.00 from the 2023-2024 Budget – Community Services \nCommittee fund ($1\,000.00) and the General Outreach fund ($1\,500.00) for the purchase of outreach promotional \nitems for use at various WHWCNC events. At this time the WHWCNC has depleted its supply of outreach promotional items. \nThe next major event will be the Grateful Hearts event held on April 6\, 2024 at Warner Park.

The event is free and open to all. Many local agencies will be present. Families of students from all of Woodland Hills neighboring schools (elementary to high school) in LAUSD’s Region North are invited to attend. A mix of both Spanish and English-speaking families are expected. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving input and having discussion over a couple meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. \nTherefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also with their vote\, please say whether or not you will be able to come as a volunteer to work a shift at the booth that day. The Outreach Committee would need to provide items to pass out at the booth as well. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nSee flyer in supporting documents. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (10) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-010) Motion to Approve the training credential request for Stakeholder Allan Biggins \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                     (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas The Education & Youth Committee appointed Allan Biggins to Stakeholder status on the Education Committee by unanimous vote in November. Then in December\, he was unanimously vetted and determined to be qualified and eligible to be seated to the Area 5 Alternate position at the Governance Committee meeting. Stakeholder and soon-to-be board member Allan Biggins needs to be given his login and password credentials to access his required training so that he can receive his voting privileges with no more delay. \nWhereas\, The Education Committee\, after receiving Allan Biggins’ invaluable input in many discussions over several meetings voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board not only approve this motion but also welcome him to the board as soon as possible. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote: Julie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. (11) Education & Youth Committee – Chair\, Julie Waltrip \n(24-011) Motion to Approve Remote Committee Meetings \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                                  (5 minutes) \n  \nWhereas\, the Education and Youth Committee has discovered that having the option to meet remotely via Zoom could increase both attendance and productivity. Furthermore\, Zoom allows for recording of the committee meeting to distribute/post it as public record. Since committee members already have all the equipment needed to conduct Zoom meetings on their personal devices\, then all that’s needed are login credentials for Zoom. \nOur Education Committee members\, our stakeholders and our grant applicants subscribe to a 9-month school calendar\, so during school holidays and break times\, we especially want to meet virtually to make quorum and maximize the productivity of the committee’s projects despite schools being closed. Then\, while school is in session\, many of our committee participants are educators who taught students all day with little bandwidth leftover to come to an in-person meeting during the weeknights and would be much more inclined to join our meeting via zoom. \nTogether\, we discovered with December’s full board meeting that having the option to meet hybrid enabled our grant applicant to present her NPG virtually via Zoom despite being unable to attend the meeting in person. Her NPG was successfully funded and paid within 1 week of her online appearance to the physical board. \nThe Education Committee’s hope is that the full board’s passage of this motion could pave the way for each chair to gather their committee either in person\, hybrid or virtually depending on the needs of their committee at the time. With your Yes vote\, you are giving committee chairs the OPTION to meet virtually via Zoom right away. This benefits not only the Education Committee but also all other committees of the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council. Whereas\, The Education Committee\, after discussions already voted with a unanimous YES to recommend to the full Board passage of this motion. Therefore\, The Education Committee\, moves that the full board approve this motion. \nCommittee’s Roll Call Vote \nJulie Waltrip YES\, Reina Cerros McCaughey YES\, Heath Kline YES\, Shelly Schwartz ABSENT\, and Allan Biggins INELIGIBLE. \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Tracey Rosen\, Chair \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                 (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Julian Tu\, Paul Lawler\, Peter Haber\, Masha Dowell \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen\, Harout Z.

and\, \nWhereas\, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the transition to virtual meetings to protect public health\, leading to increased accessibility and participation by Angelenos in Neighborhood Council activities; and\, \nWhereas\, the expiration of State of Emergency modifications to the Brown Act resulted in a significant drop in participation from board members and community stakeholders\, disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities; and\, \nWhereas\, Members of our Board have resigned due to the inability for various reasons to meet in person; and\, \nWhereas\, Board vacancies are more difficult to fill due to the requirement to meet in person; and\, \nWhereas\, California Senate Bill 411\, passed by the State Legislature\, allows Neighborhood Councils the option to conduct virtual meetings\, ensuring public participation during future emergencies or exceptional circumstances; and\, \nWhereas\, the City Council\, through the approval of Council File 23-1114\, endorses and supports Neighborhood Councils in making decisions regarding virtual meetings; and\, \n  \nWhereas SB 411 requires this Board to formally approve meeting virtually but must also physically meet annually at least once; and\, \nWhereas\, our local libraries and fire stations’ meeting rooms often have limited availability\, limit the use of audiovisual equipment\, have no or limited parking for public meetings and thereby are not conducive to effective committee or board meetings; and\, \nWhereas\, the City does not allow free use of private facilities; and\, \nWhereas\, private facilities are expensive to rent\, poorly equipped for public meetings\, and may lack ADA-approved facilities; and\, \nWhereas\, virtual meetings provide the opportunity to receive testimony from distant experts and officials\, enriching the quality of our discussions and decision-making; and\, \nWhereas\, Board Members and community members with senior care or parental duties may struggle to secure alternate care in the evenings\, limiting their participation and achieving a diversity of opinions; and\, \nWhereas\, Los Angeles is a vast city\, where Board Members and community stakeholders often face long commutes\, making it difficult for them to attend in-person meetings on time or at all; and\, \nWhereas\, dedicated board members and committee stakeholders may often travel for their day jobs\, preventing them from participating in person due to scheduling conflicts; and\, \nWhereas\, utilization of Virtual Meetings and Hybrid Virtual/Physical Meetings mitigates the above stated factors limiting community participation; and\, \n  \nWhereas\, the original intent of the Brown Act was to open meetings to the public for transparency not afforded by secret meetings and Virtual Meetings extend transparency beyond in-person meetings aby allowing more of the public to participate and observe; \nNow\, therefore\, it is resolved that the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, under California Senate Bill 411 and Council File 23-1114\, authorizes the use of virtual and hybrid-virtual meetings as a valid and necessary means to conduct the council’s Board and Committee meetings. \nCommunity Impact Statement \nThe decision to implement virtual meetings will have several positive impacts on our community: \n\nEnhanced Accessibility: Virtual meetings will facilitate participation for residents\, including those with mobility issues or busy schedules.\nIncreased Engagement: Remote meetings will attract a wider and more diverse range of community members\, fostering richer and more inclusive discussions.\nSafety: Virtual meetings will protect our community members during health emergencies\, ensuring their safety while engaging in civic matters.\nImproved Facilities: Virtual meetings address limitations of public and private facilities\, including the lack of ADA-approved facilities and limited availability during convenient hours.\nAccess to Expertise: Virtual meetings enable access to testimony from distant experts and officials\, enhancing decision-making and informed choices.\nBoard Member Participation: Board members with day job commitments involving travel can fully participate\, strengthening our council.\n\nIn conclusion\, adopting virtual meetings aligns with our Neighborhood Council’s commitment to enhancing community engagement\, ensuring accessibility\, addressing facility limitations\, and accommodating the schedules of dedicated board members. This decision will ultimately strengthen our council and provide a better platform for our community to shape our neighborhood’s future. \n  \nItem Thirteen: \nReview\, discussion\, and possible action related to Board member attendance in compliance with Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council Bylaws Section 7: “Absences”. \n  \nRoll Call Vote regarding derelict members. \n  \nADJOURNMENT.

However\, the Neighborhood \nCouncil can make recommendations which the LA Planning Department can discuss with the Applicant. \n  \nMotion: \nAs pertaining to the proposed Toll Brothers apartments/mixed-use building (No Planning Case Number assigned) \nat 6464 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, CA 91367\, after having held three (3) live public meetings for the application filed by Toll Brothers\, for mixed-use structure project in the Downtown District of the Warner Center Plan under \nAB 2097\, the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council Board hereby finds that: \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project is in basic compliance with the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the proposed project adheres to all of the requirements of the Downtown District of the 2035 Warner Center Specific Plan without requesting variances or exemptions except those granted under State laws; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the building will provide 276 residential units\, with at least 21 units offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates set by the State\, as well as 4\,045 SF of commercial space as required in a mixed-use structure in the WC Downtown District; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the 11\,940 SF of usable Publicly Available Open Space (PAOS) exceeds the Specific Plan requirements; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, at least 30% of the 438 vehicle parking spaces will provide EV charging with additional EV stations added in the future; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, all 42 existing trees on the site will be removed and replaced with a total of 84 newly- planted shade producing trees in the PAOS\, parklette and other areas; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the developer has modified the architecture to reflect agreements with the WHWCNC PLUM Committee; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, all building materials and equipment will be stored on-site; and \n  \nWHEREAS\, the issues of the dog relief area location and size are a significant question\, a request/recommendation with possible solution(s) has been drafted in a letter from the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council which the community hopes will be adopted and implemented by Toll Brothers for this project; \n  \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that for the findings and recommendations stated herein\, that application and plans submitted by Toll Brothers for its application for a mixed-use\, VLI residential building at 6464 Canoga Avenue in Warner Center receive the support of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council (WHWCNC). \n  \nWe also propose 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 on November 8\, 2023. \n  \nSee posted report                                                                                                                              Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 6 \nPLUM\, Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Chairs \n(23-073) Toll Brothers Apartment Development \n6464 Canoga Avenue\, Woodland Hills\, 91367 \n  \nDiscussion and possible action:                                                                                              (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion related to a specific request for the installation of a dog park / dog bathroom area to be included in the proposed project\, Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Avenue Woodland Hills 91367 as the development allows residents to have dogs. \n  \nRE: Letter per Community Dog Park / Dog Bathroom Area \nToll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 \nThe Los Angeles Development Review Process provides an overview of the entire development process\, describes what circumstances will trigger a particular review process\, and provides the chronological processes that must be completed before proceeding to further reviews. \nThe Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council provides recommendations related to the City of Los Angeles policies\, standards\, and regulations on land use\, property development and construction review which are designed to help ensure the health\, safety\, and welfare of its citizens\, while protecting the rights and privileges of property owners. \nAt certain times the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council may feel the need to weigh in on a particular component within a development in an effort to better serve the health\, safety and welfare of its citizens. \nTherefore\, as pertaining to the installation of a dog park / pet bathroom area at development Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367\, a new mixed use 8 story building at the corner of Canoga Ave. and Victory Blvd. in the Downtown District of Warner Center with 276 residential units and 4\,045 sf of retail space with 27 or 28 units) offered at Very Low Income (VLI) rental rates which are set by the State. \nWhereas\, the project will provide amenities including Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS)\, 11\,679 SF (15% of site area) as required. And the project proposes 11\,940 SF—mostly along Victory Blvd and a meandering walkway park-let along Canoga Ave. Two large furnished outdoor patios will be provided for resident use only\, and \nWhereas\, the developer plans to provide a dog washing station for resident use and the developer also plans to allow resident dogs to use the Victory Blvd. public right of way located in front of the dog washing station for use by resident dogs\, as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, this public right of way is not fenced and therefore this could be a hazard to cars and both dogs and residents who may try to use it as a dog bathroom area\, and \nWhereas\, as the LA DOT has future plans to widen Victory Blvd. and will use the right of way for street widening\, and \nWhereas\, Victory Blvd. is a busy street with no fences\, and fencing could provide a danger to a car and driver should an automobile accident occur\, and \nWhereas\, the public right of way is generally not an appropriate location for a dog bathroom area as it would be dangerous for animals and residents\, and \nWhereas\, establishing a specified safe dog park/ dog bathroom area also works to reduce pet waste issues in a community by centralizing dog deposits in one designated area\, which is a win for everyone. \nTherefore\, the Woodland Hills -Warner Center Neighborhood Council recommends the following: \n\na)     The developer provides an enclosed dog bathroom area on the project’s Publicly Accessible Open Space (PAOS) as the project allows residents to have dogs.\nb)      The developer identifies an area situated on the southeast side of the project and/or preferably towards the back of the community easily accessible to all residents. Dog parks / dog bathroom areas do not necessarily have to be large nor located on perfectly flat areas and can occupy a piece of land in the community that is not suitable for other uses due to a slope or rough terrain.\nd)      Use of decomposed granite could be used as it is extremely durable\, requires minimal upkeep and is more environmentally friendly.\n\nSpecially designed artificial turfs for pet bathroom areas are also available. \n  \nWHEREAS the above letter is concurrent with the PLUM Committee recommendation for the proposed project: \nTHEREFORE\, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that the Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee of the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council\, for the statements stated herein\, recommends that this PLUM Letter regarding a dog park/pet bathroom area located at Toll Brothers Apartment Living\, 6464 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills\, 91367 receive approval of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council. \nThe Planning\, Land Use and Mobility Committee recommends 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 supporting recommendation. \n  \nRoll Call Vote \n  \n\nCommittee Reports\,                                                                                             (10 minutes)\n\nBudget Committee – Heath Kline\, Chair \nCommunity Services Committee – Joyce Fletcher\, Chair\nCommunity Outreach Committee –Chris Waddy and Tracey Rosen\, Co-Chairs \nEducation and Youth Committee – Julie Waltrip\, Chair\nEnvironmental & Beautification Committee – Karen DiBiase\, Chair\nGovernance Committee – Dena Weiss\, Chair \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee –Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \nPublic Safety and Transportation –No Chair\nPLUM Committee – Don Patterson and Marty Lipkin\, Co-Chairs \nWHIP Committee – August Steurer and Heath Kline\, Co-Chairs \n  \n\nArea Reports                                                             (5 minutes)\n\nArea 1 – Karen DiBiase\, Geoffrey Hobson\, Rochelle / Shelly Schwartz\, Reina Cerros- McCaughey \nArea 2 – Paul Lawler \nArea 3 – Tracey Rosen \nArea 4 – Don Patterson\, Martin Lipkin\, Dena Weiss \nArea 5 – Christopher Waddy\, Julie Waltrip\, Theresa Campbell \nArea 6 –Mihran Kalaydjian\, Heath Kline \nArea 7 – Lillian / Joyce Fletcher \nAdjournment of Meeting \n  \nThe next Regular Board meeting will be held in person on December 13\, 2023\, once more at the Firestation # 84\,  unless otherwise indicated.

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. Due to inflationary costs of food\, housing\, utilities\, medication\, and numerous other expenses\, its numbers are on the rise. As it endeavors to feed the hungry in our community\, it has asked the Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council for financial support to help it do just that. The money received from this grant would go directly to the purchase of food and necessities for its seniors\, families with school age children\, and the homeless. The funding will come from the NPG line item as approved by the board in the 2023-2023 Administrative Packet. \nFor further information see: \n  \nhttps://www.westvalleyfoodpantry.org The West Valley Food Pantry works to end hunger in the San Fernando Valley. We do this by providing food and supportive services for individuals and families in need.  Open Monday – Thursday 9:00am – 12:00pm\, Friday 9:30am – 12:00pm \n  \nSee posted Support documents                                                                                              Roll Call Vote \n  \nItem No. 7 \nPublic Health and Homelessness Committee\, Reina Cerros-McCaughey and Geoffrey Hobson\, Co-Chairs \n(23-064)  Motion to approve $1\,500 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for The Foundation for Pierce College \n  \nFor discussion and possible action:                                                                                       (10 minutes) \n  \nMotion to approve $1\,500 for a Neighborhood Purpose Grant for The Foundation for Pierce College  Basic Needs program. The program currently serves over 900 students. The Foundation provides college students with direct food supplies\, housing support\, as well as other resources such as scholarships as needed by individual students. The foundation is assisting the Brahma Bodega as it provides a store shopping experience for its students within the campus bodega. Students are welcome to shop and take basic goods such as prepared meals\, snacks\, and beverages. Students are treated with dignity and respect when shopping at the bodega. It is requesting a donation to the general fund for the benefit of the students in need. See https://www.lapc.edu.
