Land Use and Planning committee (LUPC) of the Venice Neighborhood Council (VNC) heard five cases Tuesday night and made a motion.  Next meeting is 7 October, next Tuesday.

A motion was proposed for the VNC to also include the height of a proposed building and state whether the roof was varied or flat in the Community Neighborhood Council (CNC) report in addition to the number of stories.  Prior to this time the report contained only the number of stories.

The VNC review of 343 28th Avenue was passed.  It was a de minimis project consisting of an interior remodel with a proposed roof height change not to exceed 22 feet.

1235,1237,1239 Abbot Kinney, Feed restaurant was approved with hours extending to 2 am and with live entertainment.  The owner agreed to not have amplified live music.  He also agreed to close the patio and to not have music past midnight.

458 Venice Blvd, which is a condominium project, was held over until the next meet, which is 7 October because owner was not present.  City hearing is scheduled for 8 October.

CJ Cole owner of property behind this project brought up the fact that the 10-foot alley was nine feet lower than the measuring point on Venice Blvd which determines the height.  The result would be that the property height would be 9 feet higher than property behind it..  Postponing project until next week will give board members time to determine if there is a possibility of an alternative to the height disparity.

416 Grand Ave, a 1425 square-foot single family dwelling, on a 25 x 90 square foot R-1.5 lot was approved.

21 Voyage was continued.  Owner wants to take a duplex and make it a triplex with 6 parking spaces instead of required 7 and square footage of 1137 sf per dwelling unit vs 1200 required.  This is taking a recreational room and making a it a unit.
