Currently the City is making an effort
to create development guidelines for hillside communities. A
group of workshops to gather public input has resulted in
the following report:
This email is to inform you that the
Hillside Area
Amendment (CPC-2008-4683-CA; Council
File No. 09-1390) will be on the Planning & Land
Use Management Committee Meeting agenda (item No. 3) on
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 2:00 PM. I have
attached a copy of the agenda to this email. Just as a
reminder, the staff report and other related documents
have been posted on our Department website (
http://cityplanning.lacity.org/);
they are too large to attach to this email. To download
these files, please go to our home page and click on
"Plans & Ordinances" on the left side, then click on
"Proposed Ordinances"; or click on the direct-links
provided below:
Note: The file linked above is large
and may take some extra time to download. The
map contains parcel lines for the entire city in
order to allow the general public to zoom into
their neighborhoods and determine whether their
property will remain within the proposed
Hillside Area boundaries, or if the designation
is proposed for removal. Instructions for how
to use this map more effectively can be found on
the link below.
Let me know if you have any questions about these
documents.
Baseline Hillside Ordinance Update
We received a lot of additional comments during
the extended comment period for early input. It
took us some time, but we have read them all and
have summarized the new comments which were not
already expressed at the February 2009 Hillside
Kick-Off Meetings on the attached document.
Feel free to download the document and
distribute it to anyone who may be interested.
If you do not have a copy of the summary of the
first set of comments please contact me and I
will send you the file.
We are currently incorporating these new
comments into the list of objectives that we
developed from the first set. We are also in
the beginning stages of developing proposed
solutions based on these comments
and objectives. When we have something new to
report, we will distribute it to the individuals
on the hillside interest list. If anyone needs
to be added to this list, please send me an
email with contact information.
Sincerely,
