Recent Update: Change to the Southwest Valley Community Plan Update Program and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Specific Plan Amendment Program
Los Angeles City Planning (LACP) recently announced that in order to support the post-pandemic recovery of Ventura Boulevard, the Ventura-Cahuenga Specific Plan Amendment Unit will focus on issues of immediate concern to businesses and stakeholders along the Corridor. This includes streamlining signage clearances, modernizing Project Impact Assessment (PIA) fee expenditures, and improving mobility along the Corridor, in order to ensure that businesses get the help they need. This team will be hosting virtual outreach events on the latest proposals on October 27, November 2 and November 4, more information available online here.
For this reason, LACP will address the implementation of the New Zoning Code program to the Ventura-Cahuenga Specific Plan Amendment as part of the Southwest Valley Community Plan Update. This approach will use the City’s resources more effectively and support community-by-community zoning that respects each neighborhood’s priorities. This program change provides an opportunity to take a holistic approach to land use planning around the Ventura Boulevard corridor. The Community Plans seek to plan land use around incoming infrastructure, respond to changing market conditions and demographic projections, and create opportunities for housing and employment. Including Ventura Boulevard in this effort is a logical step to create an integrated land use plan that reflects a collective vision for the South Valley.
In response to this program change, the Southwest Valley Community Plan Updates Unit plans to conduct outreach in early 2022, which would provide updates to the Proposed General Plan Land Use Map we released in December 2020. We will be in touch in the near future with more information regarding future engagement opportunities for the Southwest Valley Community Plans Update, which includes updates to the Canoga Park - Winnetka - Woodland Hills - West Hills, Encino - Tarzana, and Reseda - West Van Nuys Community Plan Areas.
El Departamento de Planeación de Los Ángeles (Los Angeles City Planning, LACP) anunció recientemente que para apoyar la recuperación de Ventura Boulevard después de la pandemia, la Unidad de Enmienda al Plan Específico de Ventura-Cahuenga se enfocará en los temas de interés inmediato para los negocios y otras partes interesadas del Corredor. Esto incluye la simplificación de los permisos de letreros, la modernización de los gastos de la tarifa de Valoración del Impacto de Proyecto (PIA, por sus siglas en inglés), y la mejora de la movilidad por todo el Corredor, para asegurar que los negocios reciben la ayuda necesaria. El equipo organizará eventos virtuales de alcance público sobre las últimas propuestas para las fechas del 27 de octubre y el 2 y el 4 de noviembre; para más información haga clic aquí.
El Departamento de Planeación abordará la aplicación del nuevo Código de Zonificación a la Enmienda al Plan Específico del Corredor de Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard como parte de la actualización de los planes comunitarios ya en curso en el Suroeste del Valle. Este enfoque significa una utilización más efectiva de los recursos de la Ciudad y apoyo para la zonificación adaptada que respeta las prioridades de cada comunidad. Este cambio en el programa es una oportunidad para usar un enfoque integral a la planeación de uso de suelo en los alrededores del corredor de Ventura Boulevard. Los planes comunitarios buscan establecer el uso de suelo en función de la infraestructura próxima, responder a los cambios en las condiciones del mercado y los pronósticos demográficos, y crear oportunidades para la vivienda y el empleo. La inclusión de la planeación de Ventura Boulevard en este esfuerzo es un paso razonable para crear un plan de uso de suelo integrado que refleja una visión colectiva para el Suroeste del Valle.
En respuesta a este cambio en el programa, la unidad de Actualización de los Planes Comunitarios del Suroeste del Valle realizará actividades de alcance público en los primeros meses del 2022, con actualizaciones al Mapa Propuesto de Uso de Suelo del Plan General que fue publicado en diciembre del 2020. Estaremos en contacto dentro de poco con más información sobre las oportunidades de alcance público del programa de Actualización de los Planes Comunitarios del Suroeste del Valle, que incluye actualizaciones al plan de Canoga Park - Winnetka - Woodland Hills - West Hills, el plan de Encino - Tarzana, y el plan de Reseda - West Van Nuys.
