2) Agenda Item 1 dealing with general Zoning and Planning Issues precipitatd by
up-coming Draft and EIR for Hollywood Community Plan began with Chair
asking group for general concerns. Housing Chair Paul Ramsey stated that
un-certainties persist in design standards so tht community groups still have little
idea as to what a project look like or how it impacts the community.
Stakeholder Brian Dyer stated at length how parking and traffic impacts of
new projects must be of central consideration in any Plan. Chair Woolsey then
discussed need for a more appropriate mix of business-types on Hollywood Blvd.
especially more retail. Paul Ramsey then made specific remarks about Council
Office discouraging developers from adding more parking than is needed.
Paul Ramsey then made the following motion which was made, seconded, and
passes without further discussion.
HHWNC recommends that before the Draft And E.I.R. of The Hollywood Community
Plan is finalised that Planning creates, or explain to us if it already exists, the
model of how future economic trends in Los Angeles will support and be
appropriate to the proposed changes in density and mix of uses in the form
of a Viability Plan.
