      • “The assessments for the Los Feliz Village Business Improvement District are used to provide beautification programs, communication, marketing and public relations, and administration which directly and specially benefits businesses within the Los Feliz Village Business Improvement District. These services are funded solely by the assessments collected and are provided only to the businesses which pay the assessments. No services are provided to businesses which do not pay the assessments or to businesses located outside of the District boundaries. The assessment dollars collected fund the budget to provide these services within the District boundaries for the purpose of improving the overall area aesthetics in an effort to attract people and concurrently increase business to stakeholders located within the District boundaries. Such services cannot be provided without charging the assessment. Therefore, the services are a direct result of the assessment collected and only the businesses paying the assessment will receive the service.”

Weekend Parking Now Prohibited on Several Streets South of Runyon Canyon Park

Visitors to Runyon Canyon Park (and residents living on nearby streets) should be on notice that new parking restrictions have recently been put in place for "Temporary" Preferential Parking District (PPD) No. 112, which is located just south and west of Runyon Canyon Park’s Vista Street entrance (the segments of Franklin Avenue and Gardner Street that are north of Hollywood Boulevard and west of Vista Street).

The parking restrictions on these segments of Franklin Avenue and Gardner Street have been changed to prohibit non-residents (e.g. visitors to Runyon Canyon Park) from parking on those streets on the weekends. As you can see in the photo, the new restrictions are: No Parking Anytime Except; 2 Hour Parking 8AM-7PM Monday thru Friday.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: These new weekend parking restrictions for PPD No. 112 may help quiet some of the local residents on Franklin Avenue and Gardner Street, but they will do absolutely nothing to reduce the number of people who visit Runyon Canyon Park; do absolutely nothing to reduce the demand for park visitor parking in this area; and, do absolutely nothing to reduce the amount of litter and dog poo being deposited in these neighborhoods by visitors to Runyon Canyon Park and their furry friends.

What these new restrictions will do, however, is increase weekend traffic congestion in this area, as visitors to Runyon Canyon Park spend more time speeding up and down the adjacent streets in a fruitless search for more parking. I wouldn’t be surprised if these new restrictions also cause an increase in the number of complaints from residents living on nearby street that currently lack parking restrictions (such as Curson Avenue and the segments of Sierra Bonita, and Gardner that are south of Hollywood) as those streets will soon be completely overrun by visitors to Runyon Canyon Park.

Sigh. I wish the City would actually take the time to comprehensively address Runyon Canyon Park’s parking issues, instead of just pushing the parking problem from street to street.

East Hollywood Target: Draft Environmental Impact Report Released

The Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Target Shopping Center project proposed for the corner of Sunset and Western (5520 Sunset Boulevard) in East Hollywood has recently been released and is available for comment. The Draft EIR is available at the Department of City Planning’s website and several Hollywood area libraries.

The proposed Target Shopping Center project described in the City's Draft EIR has essentially the same scope as the Target Project that was previously approved – and then withdrawn – at this site. The Target Shopping Center project proposes to construct a 163,862 square foot Target store along with 30,887 square feet of other smaller retail, food, and associated uses in a 3-level (and up to 84 feet high) building. The first floor of the building would have retail (along both Sunset and Western) while the Target store itself would be located on the structure's third level. A total of 458 automobile parking spaces would be provided in two parking levels, on ground floor and one above ground.

In order to construct the project, as currently proposed, the project would require a number of discretionary approvals from the City, including exceptions from the Vermont/Western TOD Specific Plan, a Site Plan Review, and a Conditional Use Permit for alcohol.

Written comments on the Draft EIR are due March 5, 2012. All comments on the Draft EIR should be directed to:

Hollywood Community Plan: AIA Los Angeles Hosting a “Roundtable Discussion” on the Hollywood Community Plan this Wednesday

This Wednesday, January 18th, the the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Institute of Architects is hosting a “roundtable discussion” on the proposed update to the Hollywood Community Plan. This roundtable discussion will be held at AIA’s offices (3780 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 800) from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.

More on the event, via the AIA’s website:

You are invited join the AIA|LA Urban Design Committee in roundtable discussion about the proposed Hollywood Community Plan. Kevin Keller and Mary Richardson from the Department of City Planning will participate in the discussion, as well.

The objectives of the meeting will be to learn more about the current status of the proposal and to identify an effective strategy for helping to broadcast greater understanding and support for the long term vision of the Hollywood community.

Rather than simply serving as a cursory presentation of the Hollywood Community Plan, the roundtable will serve as an opportunity for architects, urban planners, community activists and civic leaders to engage in an open discussion about how we can all work together to contribute to the civic discourse and reach a greater consensus about our social, environmental and aesthetic values that will help shape the future of our city.

Per the meeting notice, there is limited capacity so they are requesting that you RSVP. Check this link for more info and to see who to contact to RSVP.

Roundup: January 13, 2011

News items and commentary from The Local Feed (in the sidebar) and elsewhere 'round the web that may be of interest to Hollywood residents.

*The City Council voted to not serve as the successor agency to manage the closeout of CRA/LA (Council File 12-0049); boots that responsibility to the State. On Wednesday that CAO and CLA released a report (.pdf) recommending that the City elect to not become the successor agency as doing so could, among other things, expose the City to additional personnel and pension liabilities that could end up costing the City up to $109 million. The City Maven reports that “The 9-3 vote was in line with recommendations from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Controller Wendy Greuel, the city administrative officer and chief legislative analyst. The three dissenting votes were Councilmen Ed Reyes, Eric Garcetti and Richard Alarcon, with Council members Jan Perry and Bernard Parks absent.” The LA Times writes that “The council action means some other, as yet unknown, government body would have to step in” and that “If no local government shows interest in the redevelopment agency, oversight could fall to an authority headed by three appointees of Gov. Jerry Brown, who pushed to kill redevelopment.”

*The Hollywood Reporter and the LA Times are both reporting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is in discussions to move the Academy Awards (Oscars) from the Kodak Theater to the Nokia Theater downtown. The Hollywood Reporter’s story says that “The downtown venue is offering a lease comparable to what the Academy currently pays CIM Group, owner of the 3,400-seat Kodak, but with a perks package that includes more seats, better infrastructure, greater promotional opportunities and more ancillary facilities for parties and press.” The LA Times’ story says that “Criticism of the Kodak has often centered on the theater's tinny acoustics; its steep 37-step grand staircase that leads into the lobby that has often proved treacherous to many female guests in long ball gowns, and the complex's mass-market shopping galleria that stands in stark contrast to the elegant tenor of the Oscars”. Blogdowntown reports that “The Deadline Hollywood blog, however, claim they have a statement from the Academy saying the Hollywood Reporter's story is "erroneous".” Yawn. Everybody knows that the Academy is looking around for new venues (or just saying it is so it can squeeze a better deal out of the Kodak Theater) so these reports aren’t really surprising.

*The LA Times reports that the City Controller’s Audit (.pdf) of the City’s street furniture contract found that the City lost out on $23.1 million in revenue it should have earned. Per the article: The City Controller “found that the city waited too long to grant permits for some of the items than the contract called for” and “that delay, combined with miscalculations of annual fees due to the city, led to the loss of revenue, and could lead to up to $57 million in additional losses unless officials renegotiate the terms of the agreement.” The Controller’s audit also noted that the City’s permit approval process for the installation of street furniture is “very cumbersome” and has “ contributed to millions of dollars in lost revenue opportunity to the City.” One thing that the Controller’s Audit didn’t focus on (but should have IMHO): How the City (mis)manages the funds it receives from this contract. Currently one-half of the revenues generated from advertisements placed in or upon street furniture and from any other uses of street furniture is deposited into the Street Furniture Revenue Fund, and is then distributed equally to each Council District for their exclusive use (*cough the Council Offices use it as Slush Fund *cough*).

The Public Square: January 9–11, 2012

A brief look at items of interest to Hollywood residents that are on upcoming agendas at City Council, City Council Committees, Neighborhood Councils, various City Boards and Commissions, and County Board of Supervisors. LA City Agendas can be found here and LA County Board agendas can be found here. Meeting times, locations, and agendas are subject to change, so be sure to check and confirm.

Monday, January 9:

• Hollywood Studio District Neighborhood Council Board (6:30 PM)
  • Agenda (.pdf)
    • Meeting will be held at Santa Monica Boulevard Community Charter School (1022 North Van Ness Avenue).

Tuesday, January 10:

• County Board of Supervisors (9:30 AM)

    • Viewpoints: While the CRA/LA may have been abolished, it is clear that the misappropriation of the funds the Agency collected for “redevelopment” will continue. $500,000 in property tax funds for Council Office staff salaries and some undefined “community services”? Really?
• Mid City West Community Council Board (7:00 PM)
  • Agenda (.pdf)
    • Meeting will be held at the National Council of Jewish Women Building (543 North Fairfax Avenue) in the Auditorium.

Wednesday, January 11:

• Housing, Community, and Economic Development Council Committee (8:30 AM)
  • Item 2 (Council File 11-2115)
    • CRA/LA Board report (.pdf) relative to authorizing its staff to negotiate and execute a Tri-Party Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Los Angeles’ Bureau of Engineering and the Friends of the Hollywood Freeway Central Park for the preparation of a an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Hollywood Freeway Central Park project AND for the transfer of up to $2 Million in Hollywood Tax Increment Funds to fund the preparation and processing of the EIR and EIS.
    • Note: As I noted in this post, if you are interested in this action you are too late. On Friday, December 16th, the City Council took this report under consideration, per “Rule 23 of the Rules of the City Council” (which permits the City Council to take immediate action on unagendized actions if an “emergency” exists) and approved the recommendations of the CRA/LA Board (see Council File 11-2115-S1). The Mayor approved this item on December 22nd.
  • Item 6 (Council File 12-0049)
    • CLA and CAO to report on the implications of the California State Supreme Court’s recent ruling affirming that the State Legislature has the authority to abolish State Redevelopment Agencies such as the CRA/LA.
• Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (9:30 AM)
  • Item 2 (General Manager Report No. 12-008)
    • Recommendation that the RAP Board approve the allocation of $959,095 in Quimby fees to the Griffith Park Swimming Pool Rehabilitation Project. Per the report, the scope of this project includes improvements to the swimming pool, pool's mechanical systems and equipment, and the bathhouse.
  • Item 2 (General Manager Report No. 12-009)
    • Recommendation that the RAP Board approve the allocation of $23,508 in Quimby fees to the Las Palmas Senior Center Building Improvement Project. Per the report, the scope of this project includes improvements to the senior building and the adjacent parking lot.
• City Council (10:00 AM)
  • Item 14 (Council File 12-0049)
    • CLA and CAO to report on the implications of the California State Supreme Court’s recent ruling affirming that the State Legislature has the authority to abolish State Redevelopment Agencies such as the CRA/LA.
    • See also the Housing, Community, and Economic Development Council Committee agenda above.
• Transportation Council Committee (2:00 PM)
• Item 6 (Council File 12-0031)
• Motion (.pdf) instructing LADOT to report with recommendations and actions necessary to permanently close Yucca Street to through vehicular traffic at Las Palmas, Cherokee, and Whitley Avenues with traffic diverters that prevent access for vehicles but allow bicycle and pedestrian movement. Per the motion, the above mentioned Yucca Street intersections have been subject to a temporary vehicular street closure, pursuant to Section 21101.4 of the California Vehicle Code, since 1995 .
• Viewpoints: As I noted in this post, CVC Section 21101.4 permits a street to be temporarily closed to the public for 18 months and permits a maximum of eight 18 month extensions. Therefore, the total permitted "temporary" street closure length under CVC 21101.4 is 162 months or 13.5 years. This street closure has been operative since May 1995 – a total of 16.5 years – which clearly is far longer than the maximum legally permitted “temporary” street closure. In fact, it seem that the City only bothered to extend this “temporary” street closure one time, to May 1998, and has been illegally enforcing this street closure since that time (see Council File 95-0619-S1).
• Los Angeles City Council Redistricting Commission (4:00 PM)
  • Item 3 (Ad Hoc Committee on Outreach)
    • Ad Hoc Committee on Outreach and staff reports on actions related to the outreach program; including a discussion of the “Pre-Final Map” public hearing schedule. Commission discussion and possible approval.

  • Agenda
    • Meeting will be held at the Ebell of Los Angeles (4400 Wilshire Boulevard) in the Wilshire Ebell Theater.
  • Item 11.A.3 (Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council Boundary Issues)
    • Consideration of a proposed motion on redistricting that “requests that the Redistricting Commission, as part of its current redistricting efforts, re-unite the complete Greater Wilshire area, as defined by our area map (.pdf) and as traditionally understood by our area homeowner and neighborhood groups, fully within the 4th City Council district.”
