The Action Network has software that enables the user to enter his info just once and send 39 emails with the click of a button.

This proposed ordinance will affect projects planned for the Thatcher Yard, the Venice Median, and the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) lot on Sunset.  All Venetians are asked to get the facts and submit a letter. The City has a PSH Ordinance Summary. and Mark Shockley’s facts are listed below. This is your Venice.  Letters are needed by 5 pm, 30 October.

The City of LA has proposed an ordinance which limits environmental review and due diligence for Permanent Supportive Housing projects Los Angeles.

As noted in the Ordinance details, each qualifying project would need to have either an on-site supportive services or a direct link to offsite supportive services; Offsite services are not likely possible at land-locked Thatcher Yard, so all services would have to be on site.

No parking spaces will be required for PSH occupants.

Miscellaneous additional zoning changes that would reduce setbacks, required lot sizes and minimum unit sizes and increase overall density.

The PSH Public-Private lease agreements will be for 55 years, so it is essential that the City gets it right and follows a more stringent review process, not the fast-track process proposed in the Ordinance.

The Oxford Triangle Association is asking all residents to submit written comments objecting to the Ordinance as currently drafted. All submissions must be delivered on or before 5PM on October 30, 2017.
