CM Huizar's Hillside Cumulative Impact Motion -- PLUM April 10
Please join the Northeast LA and other City hillside communities at the
City Council Planning & Land Use Management Committee meeting this
Tuesday April 10 at 2pm at Los Angeles City Hall, 200 N. Spring Street
in the Roybal Hearing Room #350.
Of particular interest will be the report due back from departments to
review "hillside cumulative impact" as requested in a motion by
Councilmember Jose Huizar earlier this year. The motion instructs city
departments to:
(1) provide an interpretation of Sections 15355 and 21083 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), relative to "cumulative impacts"
(2) explain how this section is interpreted by City staff
(3) discuss its impact on development in hillside areas of the City
(4) discuss how the City can, at a policy and process level, integrate an analysis of "cumulative impacts" in the City's planning review process. |
The purpose of the report is to help determine if new policies would
help strengthen the City's cumulative impact procedures and better
protect our hillsides. Please come and hear the report, and share your
views on how hillside cumulative impact should be handled in the City of
Los Angeles. Join the Councilmember in championing potential revision
to the City's processes related to this important issue.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jessica Wethington McLean
