Land Use Committee Report 4-10-13


Land Use Committee Report

Construction at 7066 St. Estaban concerns neighbors due to the excavation of earth and that the proposed home will end up being built into the public street (no buffer).

VHGC historic cultural monument status will be before the commission on 4-18.  If you have an interest, encourage you to speak, be involved.  Petitions to support saving the golf course are circulating again.

The ST Chamber is attempting to contact the owners of the Foothill / Commerce Town Center.

Application filed for a Zoning Administrator’s Adjustment for the building of a home at 6342 Sister Elsie.  Neighbors are concerned that this is an attempt to not adhere to previous determinations that Planning gave on this development.  Upon inquiry with the Zoning Administrator, a public hearing will now be held.

An inquiry to change the use at 8263 Foothill from retail to thrift shop discussed.  Owners were to attend but did not show.

An application for building addition and change of use will be presented at the April 15 LUC meeting for 10172 Tujunga Canyon Blvd., Tujunga.

We are seeing a change of use to auto sales at 8031 Foothill.  While not disallowed, the owners need to comply with the change of use process.

The City is reviewing a Mural Ordinance and asking that neighborhood councils weigh in.  This will also be on the 4/15 agenda.

The ACE program is moving forward and Animal Services will be the first department to implement.

City Planning and Building and Safety are to be realigned to become the Department of City Planning and Development.  Feedback on this moving forward would be appreciated.

The City will hold public meetings regarding policy changes to the City Planning Mobility Element.  There is concern for the impact on our community if these policies are adopted.

Next LUC Meeting, Monday, April 15 at 7 p.m. North Valley City Hall.
