<<We would like to inform you that several additional sections of the
Draft Hollywood Community Plan are now available online for your review
and comment.

These sections include the following: the Draft Land Use
and Zone Change Map; the Draft Matrix of Existing, Planned and Proposed
Land Use; the Draft “Q” Qualified Conditions; the Draft “Q”
Qualified Condition and “D” Development Limitation Appendix; and the
Draft Street Designations.

You may find these documents on the City
Planning Department’s website, http://cityplanning.lacity.org, under
“New Community Plans - Hollywood - Latest Plan Update - What’s
New”.

Copies of all available sections of the Draft Hollywood Community Plan
will be placed in the following public libraries:

● Frances Howard Goldwyn-Hollywood Regional Library, 1623 N. Ivar
St., LA 90028.
● John C. Fremont Branch Library, 6121 Melrose Avenue, LA 90038.
● Los Feliz Branch Library, 1874 Hillhurst Avenue, LA 90027.
● Will and Ariel Durant Branch Library, 7140 W. Sunset Boulevard, LA
90046.

Please note that the Draft Hollywood Community Plan documents are
presented in draft form and no formal recommendations have yet been
made. Staff will prepare recommendations after the first public
hearing.

The last feature of the Draft Hollywood Community Plan to be released
will be the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR). The release of
the DEIR should occur sometime in the fall. At that time we will start
scheduling briefings with the neighborhood councils and other major
stakeholder groups. The briefings will provide an opportunity to go
over the proposed policies, programs and land use changes, answer
questions, and gather input from the community. The series of briefings
will conclude with an Open House/Public Hearing. >>

Universal / MTA Project Community Working Group

http://www.universalworkinggroupnews.org/index.html

The Universal/MTA Community Working Group is a coalition of
neighborhood groups and Homeowners Associations that
geographically encircle Universal Studios and the MTA site. The
purpose of this coalition is to enter into a dialog with the developers
of these sites and to help create a common vision that would be
beneficial for both the developers and for the community at large.

The Development (Overview)

The MTA site is currently the home to an MTA bus turn-around, a
transit stop for the Metro Subway and to the most historic site in the
western United States, Campo de Cahuenga. Universal Studios
across the street is a 450 acre property that is home to a movie and
television studio, the City Walk, a number of production companies
and a slew of famous movies sets.

The Coalition (What We Do)

The Working Group was formed in late 2006 in anticipation of this
project and has been studying and talking about both the
development and its effects on the surrounding communities.

WHO IS THE HOLLYWOOD COALITION OF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS?

The goal and mission of the Coalition is to foster greater understanding among our Hollywood -area Neighborhood Councils and to share information for the greater good of our shared community.

The Hollywood Coalition of Neighborhood Councils includes: Central Hollywood NC, East Hollywood NC, Greater Griffith Park NC, Hollywood Studio District NC, Hollywood United NC and Hollywood Hills West NC.

For more information regarding these Neighborhood Councils, go to the link at left for the Hollywood Coalition


Help care for the animals. Explore the options available at Los Angeles Animal Services.
Besides dogs and cats, the shelters seek homes for rabbits, roosters, and so much more.  They need homes for lizards and snakes too. There is also lots of information available on their website for assistance with spaying or neutering feral cat colonies or whatever you may need help with.
