What is the Neighborhood Initiative?

The Neighborhood Integrity Initiative for a Livable Los Angeles gives YOU the Power to Stop Oversized Development

The Neighborhood Integrity Initiative:

  • Sets a 2-year moratorium on exceptions which allow developers to build taller and denser projects greater than what the zoning and the General Plan allows
  • Halts back room deals that award "spot rezoning" to developers
  • Forces the City Council to create a rational long-term plan for growth, via a new citywide General Plan
  • Prevents developers from significantly cutting the parking spaces they normally must provide
  • Bans developers from writing their own Environmental Impact Reports, an obvious conflict of interest

Megaprojects are worsening traffic and destroying neighborhood character
  
Today, cozy "density" deals between developers and politicians are destroying community character from Boyle Heights to Brentwood. Developers buy exemptions from the rules by contributing to City Hall. They make a ton of money on luxury mega-projects - we get terrible traffic and congestion.

The Initiative Creates a Timeout That Halts Overdevelopment, not Development

The Initiative will halt for 2 years (or until the City creates a new General Plan, if earlier) the building of any project that requires an exception to build at a taller height and/or with more density than allowed. It doesn't stop normal development that abides by density and/or height rules. It does stop runaway development and luxury megaprojects.

Neighborhoods Should Have a Say in What's Built Around Them

Communities are outgunned - that's why we need the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative. During the timeout, this initiative forces City Hall to adopt a comprehensive citywide zoning plan, a public process they have been avoiding for decades.

Beachwood Cafe    

 




Why not wander into into the Cafe and have a meal and conversation with any one of the many neighbors you will run into? This IS family! 

In days gone by, most neighbors would meet spontaneously in the local cafe and visit about all manner of neighborhood issues. We can do it again.
