New Community Plan for Sunland - Tujunga - Shadow Hills - Lakeview Terrace - East La Tuna Canyon
What will your community look like in 20 years?
The Los Angeles Department of City Planning is updating the land use plan for this area and will be holding community meetings to hear your input
What’s important to you?
Traffic * Transportation * Housing * City Services * Neighborhood Character * Trails, Parks, and Open Space * Neighborhood Amenities and Services
> Share with us your thoughts about your community: what you like and don’t like, what should stay the same, what should change.
> Tell us what it’s like to live, work, shop, move around, raise your children, and take care of elders in this community.
> Meet your neighbors and get to know your community.
What is a Community Plan?
• An official guide for the next 20 years that designates land for a range of uses: housing, jobs, schools, parks, transportation, & services
• Encourages the economic, social and physical health, safety, welfare and convenience of the people who live and work here
• An important tool in the development of this part of the City that needs to be kept up-to-date with community input

Update: Mediation Meeting - April 26, 2008 at Mt. Gleason
As Part of the “Stay Agreement” between the City of Los Angeles and The Home Depot, a Mediation process will occur. It is being titled “Sunland-Tujunga Dialogue”. The date for the first dialogue event is Saturday, April 26, 2008 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Mt. Gleason Middle School, 10965 Mt. Gleason Avenue, Sunland.
I spoke with Avis Ridley-Thomas from the City Attorney’s Dispute Resolution Program today (4-9-08) and she said a letter will be going out in the mail within the next few days to anyone who signed a speaker card at a public hearing regarding this matter or to anyone who signed up through the City’s Dispute Resolution E-mail address at mediate@lacity.org
Once the letter arrives you can choose to be involved. There are 1,800 volunteer facilitators available to us who help with anything from barking dogs to health reform throughout the State of California. They have been deployed to now help with “improving the quality of life in Sunland-Tujunga”.
The Bylaws of the Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council indicate our mission is to improve the Quality of Life in Sunland-Tujunga.
The purposes of the STNC are:
1. To engage the broad spectrum of STNC community stakeholders to collaborate and participate in matters affecting the community including events, issues, and projects.
2. To work with other organizations in Sunland-Tujunga and with other Los
Angeles neighborhood councils.
3. To promote STNC community stakeholder participation and advocacy in Los Angeles city government decision making processes.
4. To propagate community awareness of available Los Angeles city resources.
5. To be an advocate of Sunland-Tujunga to government and private agencies.
We encourage all Sunland-Tujunga stakeholders to participate. Stakeholders are defined in the STNC Bylaws as anyone who lives, works, owns property or particpates in an organization that meets regularly in the community. To be sure you receive the letter that is being sent in advance of the
April 26th , 2008 session, please e-mail mediate@lacity.org or send a request to:
Los Angeles City Attorney Dispute Resolution Program
222 S. Hill Street, Suite 600
Los Angeles, CA 90012
Please include the title “Sunland-Tujunga Dialogue” in either your letter or e-mail.
At the 4/9/08 STNC meeting it was announced that a Telephone Hotline Number has been established by the City Attorney's office: 213-485-0390.
We also encourage you to visit the STNC’s web site at www.stnc.org from time to time for meeting announcements and agendas, updates and other information for Sunland-Tujunga OR call the STNC office at (818) 951-7411.
