Under the new state draft redistricting plans for both the Congressional and Assembly seats, Pacific Palisades is split in half along Sunset Blvd. The same thing has been proposed in Brentwood.\u00a0\u00a0 Kimberly Bloom (Area 5 Alternate):\u00a0 She disagrees with splitting the area into two districts.\u00a0 Steve Cron (Area 2 Representative):\u00a0 He feels it is outrageous to split the area and to group residents who live north of Sunset with Valley areas, with whom they have little in common.\u00a0 Chris Spitz (Secretary): \u00a0She noted that Malibu would be part of the new district as well as neighborhoods in the Valley; she also agrees it\u2019s an outrageous proposal.\u00a0 The Chair then described the proposed new Congressional districts.\u00a0 One would be the Malibu San Fernando Valley District, and the other would be the \u201cShoreline District.\u201d \u00a0This would be similar with the proposed Assembly districts.\u00a0 Rick Mills (Area 4 Alternate):\u00a0 He prefers that the Palisades be linked with other Westside communities.\u00a0 The Chair noted that comments can be submitted at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wedrawthelinesCA.org\">www.wedrawthelinesCA.org<\/a>.\u00a0 The Chair then called for a \u201csense of the board\u201d show of hands:\u00a0 Does the board object to the proposed splitting of the Palisades for this purpose and does it want the Executive Committee to submit a letter with our objection to the State Redistricting Commission tomorrow?\u00a0 Result: unanimous that the Board objects to the proposal and wishes a letter to be submitted to the Commission stating PPCC\u2019s objection.\u00a0 The Chair noted that such a letter would be submitted.<\/p>\n<p>8.1.3.\u00a0 \u00a0 Housing Element update.\u00a0 The Chair reported that this was approved by the City Planning Commission and will be going to PLUM and eventually to City Council.\u00a0 Any areas in the VHFHSZ and Flood Zone are excluded from the rezoning program for added density.\u00a0 This could affect the Community Plan update process which is not starting any time soon.\u00a0 We also don\u2019t know how SB 9 will affect all of these measures.\u00a0 There is a general push to add more housing. The City Council has passed a motion to ask the City Attorney and the Planning Dept. to come up with incentives to create more affordable housing in high opportunity\/high resource areas.\u00a0 They have 30 days to come up with ideas.<\/p>\n<p>8.1.4.\u00a0 \u00a0 LAFD Fire Drone Presentation (Westridge Trailhead in Brentwood, 11\/4, 12pm). \u00a0The Chair reminded everyone about this upcoming in-person presentation in Brentwood about the LAFD drone program.<\/p>\n<p>8.2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<u>From Officers<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>8.2.1.\u00a0\u00a0 Secretary Chris Spitz.\u00a0 Legislation\/anti-camping updates. The Secretary reminded everyone that SB 9 will go into effect in January, at which time most single-family zoning will be eliminated in California.\u00a0 We have been working with leaders from Brentwood Community Council and Bel Air-Beverly Crest Neighborhood Council to determine what can be done in Los Angeles to better protect our fire zone areas within the constraints of SB 9. \u00a0We\u2019ve learned that Councilmember Koretz is drafting a motion asking the Planning Dept. to draft an implementation memo with appropriate protections.\u00a0 His land use deputy has cautioned us, however, that there seems to be a reluctance in City Council to take any action to protect the hillsides as they may not wish to be seen as NIMBYs; they are having a hard time finding a second for the motion.\u00a0 We\u2019ll continue to follow up.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding LAMC Sec. 41.18, PPCC has sent a second letter to Councilmember Bonin, asking him to designate sensitive sites in the Palisades to protect against encampments in the public right of way <em>[see:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PPCC-Letter-Bonin-2-re-41.18.pdf\"><em>https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PPCC-Letter-Bonin-2-re-41.18.pdf<\/em><\/a><em>].<\/em>\u00a0 We still haven\u2019t had a response from the Councilmember.

The slight increase in crime since 2020 may be due to an increase in homelessness but they don\u2019t have the data yet.\u00a0 LAPD has seen people from others areas come in to the Palisades and commit burglaries.\u00a0 There have been a few instances when homeless individuals tried to break into homes.\u00a0 His advice:\u00a0 Keep everything locked, even when you are home.\u00a0 Overall, crime in the Palisades is only 8% of crime in the entire West LA area. He reiterated that Palisadians should lock their cars and not leave valuables of any kind, including empty backpacks or anything that can be seen, inside cars.\u00a0 \u00a0Regarding the issue of \u201cRuby,\u201d the individual who has been camping at the library:\u00a0 Officer Espin has had meeting with Sharon Kilbride of PPTFH and Nina Kidd. \u00a0Ruby has been cited several times but the primary focus of LAPD and PPTFH has been outreach \u2013 we want to see Ruby and all homeless individuals get the help they need.\u00a0 Once the library is getting close to re-opening, then they will handle the situation and see if there\u2019s a crime that can be enforced.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t want to see Ruby simply leave and then camp on someone else\u2019s property.\u00a0 As time progresses, they will start doing more on the enforcement side.\u00a0 The beach detail has been doing really good work with PPTFH in the beach and bluffs areas.\u00a0 The first goal is outreach and then the crime issue can be dealt with.\u00a0 LAPD gets involved when a crime is involved; it is not a crime just to be homeless.\u00a0 Again, outreach and enforcement efforts with Ruby at the Library will increase as we get close to re-opening.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew Wolfberg (Area 8 1st Alternate): \u00a0What can be done about the person who is living in a car next to Paul Revere Middle School?\u00a0 Officer Espin: The City used to have a vehicle dwelling ordinance, but this has expired so officers don\u2019t have a tool for enforcement.\u00a0 LAPD hasn\u2019t been directed yet to enforce LAMC Sec. 41.18 near schools and overpasses.\u00a0 They can hold vehicle dwellers to regular parking restrictions that are now in place, such as the 72-hour limit on parking in one spot on the street. \u00a0The officers try to conduct outreach first.\u00a0 Veronica de la Cruz (Deputy City Attorney and West LA Neighborhood Prosecutor):\u00a0 The City Attorney\u2019s office has been working with LAPD regarding 41.18.\u00a0 They have been sent materials related to accessibility, ADA requirements pertaining to sidewalk blockage, and the like.\u00a0 Enforcement of subsection (c) of the ordinance is on hold because the Councilmembers first have to file resolutions to designate sites.\u00a0 The Chair noted the importance of protecting children with respect to encampments near schools, parks and the library.<\/p>\n<p>8.5.2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 CD 11 Palisades-Brentwood Deputy Noah Fleishman.\u00a0 He noted that he had nothing to add to the issue regarding 41.18, and that he only had a short update.\u00a0 There is now a street repaving schedule for November and December in the Palisades.\u00a0 The major repaving project is Temescal Canyon Rd., from PCH to Sunset Blvd. He will share the start date with us later.\u00a0 In order to help with homelessness, he suggests participation in the Homeless Count this coming January.

Mr. Fleishman:\u00a0 Mr. Bonin has seen the letters and is in the process of preparing a FAQ about 41.18; the Councilmember is studying this issue and is not ruling out designating sites.\u00a0 Kevin Niles (American Legion):\u00a0 Will Temescal Canyon Rd. have a total repaving?\u00a0 Mr. Fleishman:\u00a0 Yes, it will be total.\u00a0 There will be traffic mitigation plans.\u00a0 He is unsure right now if both sides of the street will be closed.\u00a0 Steve Cron (Area 2 Representative):\u00a0 Is it possible to do repaving during the holidays in December?\u00a0 Mr. Fleishman:\u00a0 He will ask if they can do this during Pali High\u2019s winter break.<\/p>\n<p>8.6.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<u>From PPCC Advisors<\/u><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Jack Coleman (Youth):\u00a0 Students are happy to be back in school.\u00a0 He believes it\u2019s important to remember students when it comes to homelessness.\u00a0 He asked everyone to keep seniors in mind as it\u2019s a stressful time when they are applying to colleges.\u00a0 He also thanked PPCC for all its support for him.<\/p>\n<p>9.<strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Reports from Committees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>9.1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>Land Use Committee<\/u> (LUC; Committee Chair Howard Robinson).\u00a0 Report on zoning in Pacific Palisades.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Robinson explained that this issue came to the LUC almost a year ago.\u00a0 The committee first presented an interim report to the PPCC Board in March 2021.\u00a0 The LUC has now prepared a 2nd Interim Report which has been distributed to the Board and will be posted on the website and distributed to the community via PPCC email.\u00a0 <em>[2nd Interim Report:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PPCC-Land-Use-Committee-2nd-Interim-Report-Final-10.28.21.pdf\"><em>https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PPCC-Land-Use-Committee-2nd-Interim-Report-Final-10.28.21.pdf<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><em>]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>He briefly described the situation which is further explained in the reports:\u00a0 As a result of concerns raised about the large home being built on Ida in the lower Marquez neighborhood, the LUC started looking into the zoning regulations and discovered that if three characteristics all exist at a given property \u2013 (1) zoned R-1; (2) located in the coastal zone; and (3) not located in the hillside zone \u2013 a new single-family home can be built on that property up to 45 ft. tall with an FAR of 3 times the buildable area of the lot.\u00a0 The property on Ida St. met all of these three characteristics. When plans for a home that met this large size at the property on Ida were approved, the neighbors, not knowing about the applicable rules, became upset. \u00a0The LUC started looking at it and discovered the unique donut hole in the regulations.\u00a0 The project was completely legal and City staff had looked at it carefully.\u00a0 At one point, LADBS issued a stop-work notice because there had been an error in one of the permits; a few months later the permit was reinstated after the homeowner corrected the error and building is now continuing.\u00a0 Many areas of the Palisades meet these three characteristics which allow for larger homes to be built.\u00a0 Again, the home on Ida that triggered the concern is legal and there\u2019s nothing we can do about it.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Robinson noted that there seems to be a lack of understanding in the community about what the zoning regulations are in the Palisades.\u00a0 The LUC has therefore prepared an Excel spreadsheet \u201cZoning Chart\u201d that lists all of the Palisades\u2019 single-family residential zones and describes the important regulations pertaining to each zone.\u00a0 This has been distributed to the Board and will be made available on the website and to the public via email distribution.\u00a0 Mr. Robinson thanked Richard Blumenberg, AIA (PP Civic League Representative &amp; LUC member) for working with Mr. Robinson and providing information for the Chart.\u00a0 To make the Chart more usable we\u2019ve requested a series of zoning maps from the Planning Dept. A first round of maps was produced and the maps are now being updated.\u00a0 The completed maps will be posted when available.\u00a0 Mr. Robinson then shared on the screen the Zoning Chart which will be distributed and posted on the PPCC website and he went over various aspects of the Chart in some detail. <em>[Zoning Chart:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PacPal-Zoning-Chart-Final-10.28.21.xlsx\"><em>https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/PacPal-Zoning-Chart-Final-10.28.21.xlsx<\/em><\/a><em>]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Robinson then briefly summarized what might be done about the \u201cdonut hole\u201d in the regulations pertaining to single-family R-1, non-hillside, coastal zone properties.\u00a0 Councilmember Bonin has offered a motion to City Council to extend the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) rules into the coastal, non-hillside zone.\u00a0 The City Council adopted the motion in January 2020, directing City staff to work on drafting a new ordinance. However, all work seems to have stopped and the Councilmember hasn\u2019t pushed staff to work on this.\u00a0 One option is for us to try and urge Bonin and City staff to resume work on this.\u00a0 The LUC recommendation is that PPCC schedule a public meeting in the future to discuss and take public input in order to get a sense of the affected community as to what action the Board should recommend to the City.\u00a0 The Council File to extend the BMO expires in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>As to why the original BMO did not apply to coastal, non-hillside properties, Mr. Robinson explained that the BMO was passed Citywide in order to restrict \u201cMcMansions.\u201d\u00a0 City staff apparently felt that coastal areas were different than other City areas and they may have believed that at some point in the near future a Local Coastal Program would be developed for the City\u2019s coastal areas which they expected would address these issues.\u00a0 Unfortunately, that has not happened.<\/p>\n<p>As to when the \u201cdonut hole\u201d regulations were first enacted, Mr. Robinson explained that this was as early as 1977 and likely even earlier.\u00a0 Decades ago, the 45 ft. height was applied Citywide and as time went on the height limit was reduced bit by bit in certain areas, but not in the coastal zone.<\/p>\n<p>The Chair noted that a meeting will be scheduled to obtain public input on this issue as soon as feasible (future meeting date to be determined).<\/p>\n<p>9.2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <u>Palisades Forestry Committee<\/u> (PFC; Committee Chair Cindy Kirven).\u00a0 Update on the PFC\u2019s work.\u00a0\u00a0 Mr. Kirven announced that the PFC had two items to report on:<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0 The Hartzell St. \u201cstreet tree planting\u201d test project.\u00a0 The Committee has finished signing up residents who are interested in getting street trees.\u00a0 The project covers all five blocks of Hartzell.\u00a0 Signatures of those interested are being submitted to Urban Forestry and City Plants.\u00a0 Urban Forestry is confirming the information and will issue permits; then City Plants arranges for the trees to be delivered and they will physically do the planting.\u00a0 City Plants will also bring other trees that neighbors can take and plant on their streets. The PFC is now considering street tree vacancies on Via de la Paz.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0 The PFC has made a proposal to the PPCC Executive Committee which would also be brought to the PP Historical Society (PPHS).\u00a0 This involves PPCC sponsoring the planting of a memorial tree to commemorate the Palisades\u2019 upcoming Centennial and also potentially planting 100 trees in honor of the community\u2019s 100 years (\u201c100 Trees for 100 Years\u201d). The Chair: \u00a0The Executive Committee is in favor of furthering this proposal.\u00a0 The commemorative tree will likely cost around $300 and there might be a plaque placed near it to show PPCC\u2019s sponsorship of the tree.\u00a0 The physical planting would be done by other volunteers. The \u201c100 Trees\u201d might involve trees that have been planted by City Plants per the PFC\u2019s street tree test project and other trees to be planted in other areas; additional details to be determined and discussed. The Secretary asked for clarification that this proposal for the Centennial is a recommendation to the Board and if approved would be sponsored by PPCC; Ms. Kirven confirmed that the PFC is a committee of PPCC and that this would be a PPCC effort.\u00a0 Steve Cron:\u00a0 Where will the commemorative tree be planted and what will it be?\u00a0 Ms. Kirven:\u00a0 We don\u2019t know exactly; one possibility is in the Founders Oak median or on Theatre Palisades property.\u00a0 There could be several locations.\u00a0 Cliff Roberts (Paul Revere Middle School):\u00a0 Where is Founders Oak?\u00a0 Barbara Kohn (PPHS Alternate rep):\u00a0 It is in the island in the center of Haverford St., across from Theatre Palisades and near Aldersgate and the Woman\u2019s Club.\u00a0 PPHS will be meeting about the plans for the Centennial which will take place in mid-January. The Secretary asked about the timing of Board approval, since this matter was not on the October 28th agenda for Board action.

Examples of the artist\u2019s work in general were included in the materials; a drawing of the proposed mural was not included. Mr. Bartolf also explained that Theatre Palisades is in the process of obtaining an arts mural permit from the City and that another community meeting will be needed before the permit is issued.\u00a0 The Chair then stated that he would like to take a straw poll to gauge the Board\u2019s opinion and he asked for discussion.\u00a0 Mary Mueller (At-Large 1st Alternate):\u00a0 She thinks this will be awesome.\u00a0 The Secretary: \u00a0Since Theatre Palisades supports the mural, she sees no reason to object.\u00a0 Barbara Kohn (PPHS Alternate rep):\u00a0 PPHS strongly supports the mural and the permit is in process. \u00a0Jon Ganz (also presenting on behalf of Theatre Palisades):\u00a0 There is a concept for the mural; in connection with the application for a mural permit, the artist will need to draw something out closer to the time of the next community meeting and they will share drawings with PPCC at that time.\u00a0 The Chair called for a \u201csense of the board\u201d show of hands:\u00a0 Does the Board favor the proposed mural in concept for Theatre Palisades?\u00a0 Result:\u00a0 Unanimous support for the mural in concept.<\/p>\n<p>12.<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Adjournment.<\/strong>\u00a0 The meeting was adjourned at 7:38 pm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/minutes-from-2021\/\">Return to 2021 Minutes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Return to 2021 Minutes MINUTES FROM OCTOBER 28th 2021 Voting Members in Attendance: \u00a0David Card, Chris Spitz, Joanna Spak, Steve Cron, Haldis Toppel, Jenny Li, John Padden, Brenda Theveny, Andy Frew, Kevin Niles, Cliff Roberts, Janet Anderson, Beth Holden-Garland Voting Alternates: \u00a0Andrew Wolfberg, Mary Mueller, Cindy Kirven, Kimberly Bloom, Rick Mills, Barbara Kohn Non-voting Advisors [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width-page-template.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10229","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10229"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10229\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
