a) Public Official Reports
Anastasia thanked Stacy for coming and updating HHWNC.
Orrin remarked that his main concern was the Franklin Corridor requirement being reduced from 600 sq.ft. to 400 sq.ft. This reduces the minimum from 1BR to studio, which could possibly change the character of the area. Michael responded that he thinks there’s been a misunderstanding; they can make however many units they want per unit of land. They can put more units per acreage of land. It doesn’t have to be a 400 sq. ft. studio.
Patricia Weber reported that NBC Universal is actually selling off the residential property to individual builders and contractors. Orrin noted that that has been disclosed from the beginning. Patricia said they did indicate that housing would be a priority.
Anastasia thanked Wayne for the report.
a) AREA COMMITTEES
i) Area 7 (Cheryl Holland)
Anastasia announced that Cheryl asked that the #7 motion be tabled;
b) ISSUE COMMITTEES
Anastasia announced that Valorie was one of the people stuck in
traffic, but she had been eager to show the signs to everyone.
Paul Darrigo, a volunteer with L.A. Animal Services, talked about their pilot program which needs $1500 per volunteer patrol officer for education and uniform. L.A.A.S. is under budget cuts, and too many animals are being put down.
