Due to significant concerns from many community organizations (including RoBG), the City of LA has suspended approval of the Code Simplification Ordinance to have more public workshops
The ordinance is to help simplify the various findings for code modifications. although a good idea in principal, RoBG has concerns about how it can make it easier for developers to get modifications and its conflict with the Baseline Hillside Ordinance.
If you are interested, have concerns or want to express your views, you must attend any one of the three workshops. You don’t need to stay for all of it but do let the City know what you are thinking.
Public Workshops Schedule
Code Simplification Ordinance
We do our best to keep you informed, up to you to get involved!

A little note that in rememberance of Memorial Day, on Wednesday, November 10th at approximately 10:10am, 2-3 F-22 Raptors will fly over UCLA as part of a ceremony so don’t get frightened, its just a friendly flyover.
Don’t forget to thank any and all veterans for their service, whether they worked in supplies or the frontlines, they put their lives on the line in defence of our democracy.
Thanks to all who were able to donate to the efforts of the Mountains and Recreation and Conservation Authority per our prior posting. We received an update that they were able to receive enough donations to make their payment (in particular thanks to two major donors).
Only obstacles are ensuring the City Council gets the approval through two committees (ITGA on 9/27 and Budget & Finance on 10/4) then to City Council for approval.
We’ll keep you posted!
As some of you may or may not know, the Mountains Recreation and Conversation Authority (established by Joint Authority in 1985) has been working to acquire (from the City of Los Angeles), 77 lots around the Beverly Glen area to help preserve those open lots. The MRCA has negotiated with the City to use some of those proceeds to help the MRCA acquire the large undeveloped land by Laurel Canyon and Mulholland to preserve as open space.
The owner of the Laurel Canyon land is looking to sell the land to a developer unless we can raise $40,000 fast to extend the MRCA deadline by TODAY!
Log onto http://www.mrca.ca.gov/laurel3.html where you can find more information, for both preserving our open land around our community and to prevent development in our neighboring community (which impacts the Glen), it is critical all Beverly Glen residents take time to pay attention to this situation.
