Interim City Manager Mahdi Aluzri is in the process of polling the availability of City Council members to call an emergency directory of virginia beach hotels meeting to file an appeal with the City of Los Angeles by Friday s deadline.
The City of Beverly Hills, if the meeting is called, must then vote to determine directory of virginia beach hotels if the council agrees to appeal Los Angeles City s determination to go ahead with the project which is partially within the City of Beverly Hills.
At the Los Angeles Conservancy, Adrian Fine said, The Conservancy believes an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is clearly warranted in this case as historic resources are significantly directory of virginia beach hotels impacted by the proposed project. Substantial evidence has been presented that demonstrates that these buildings contribute to a potential historic district, therefore there is a need to consider preservation alternatives.
The property located at 332-336 N. Oakhurst Drive has been the subject of intense efforts by Beverly Hills residents to uncover the historic roots of the building, protect vulnerable residents who are tenants of the building and to get the attention of Beverly Hills City staff and council members to aid them in their quest to preserve their neighborhood integrity.
Now, with the stroke of a pen, in the midst of negotiations between the two cities, the Los Angeles Planning Department has determined that the developers can go through with the project. The City has until Feb. 13 to file an appeal.  We need to stick up for our residents, said Councilman John Mirisch. They went behind our backs.
It seems unreasonable that the City of Los Angeles directory of virginia beach hotels would make a determination about a property located partially in Beverly Hills without the input of the City of Beverly Hills. Whatever the conditions allowed by L.A., Beverly Hills has the right and responsibility to protect its residents, said Vice Mayor Julian Gold.
The City, including our Planning staff were not aware of the fact the LA City has given their approval of the project, said Interim City Manager Mahdi Aluzri. The last information we had from their staff before receiving this decision was that the application was on hold at the request of the project s developer pending discussion with our Planning staff on how to address the concerns Beverly Hills raised on the environmental assessment. Our Planning staff is currently reviewing the decision and we will be discussing the matter with the City Attorney s office to determine possible options for response.
However, the City of Los Angeles is exercising its will over the citizens of Beverly Hills   much as in the days when Beverly Hills opted not to be annexed by L.A. during the water battles early last century. One might think, Here we go again, but this time its not water they want. Its Beverly Hills a City with a reputation so valuable that nearby neighborhoods call themselves, Beverly Hills adjacent, to gain cache.
But that s not the only reason to be alarmed with the determination. In a formal filing in April of last year with the Los Angeles Department of Planning, directory of virginia beach hotels the Applicant directory of virginia beach hotels was said to be engaging in irregular conduct towards tenants. According to current and former tenants of 332, 334 and 336 North Oakhurst, the current directory of virginia beach hotels Applicant and former directory of virginia beach hotels Applicant have taken actions against tenants that are violations of both code and law, including Ellis Act violations, denying relocation directory of virginia beach hotels assistance, stakeholder intimidations, and more.
In fact, the buildings are the work of Edith Mortensen Northman, described in 1937 by the Los Angeles Times as Los Angeles only woman architect. Born in 1893 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Northmark studied architecture at USC from 1927  1930. She built an exceptional career, even during the Depression, designing hundreds of projects. Working for Union Oil Co. she built a number of gas stations, as well as single-family homes in Los Feliz, Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Hancock directory of virginia beach hotels Park. A number directory of virginia beach hotels of her clients were in the film industry, including as a consultant to Sam Goldwyn when he was producing Dorothy Parker s Woman Chases Man , (1937), about a female architect. Northman spent WWII with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Afterwards she built mostly hotels and apartment buildings in Los Angeles and Palm Springs until she was stricken with Parkinson s disease.
The street s  buildings could be part of an historic district; seems many building owners like their corner of Beverly Hills much as it stands with its majestic, directory of virginia beach hotels old apartment buildings. The survey team for the 2014 Historic Resources Survey reviewed the area. That area of North Oakhurst Drive was identified as a potential historic district, eligible for a listing in the National Register of Historic Places, the California Register of Historical Resources and as a City of Beverly Hills historic district, said consultant Christine Lazzaretto in a May 29, 2014 memo.
Built from 1930-1939, the tract was originally directory of virginia beach hotels laid out by the Rodeo Land and Water Company on the easternmost edge of Beverly Hills. One hundred percent of the residences contribute directory of virginia beach hotels to the district s significance, making North Oakhurst Residential Historic District a cohesive representation of Period directory of virginia beach hotels Revival style multi-family residences.
directory of virginia beach hotels No such consideration is currently in the pipeline directory of virginia beach hotels but it is part of the conversation as to the historic value of the properties. If the project goes forward, the building will become a modern condominium unit, further diminishing the City s rental inventory.
The approval from Los Angeles entitles them to build on the Los Angeles portion, but Los Angeles has imposed conditions that they get clearances from Beverly Hills before they start construction.  So until the Beverly Hills Planning Commission approves something on the Beverly Hills portion, there isn’t a lot the developer can do.  Additionally, we will not issue demolition permits until they have approval from the Planning Commission, said Ryan Gohlich, Senior Planner for the City of Beverly Hills.
Both The Beverly Hills side and the LA side have been given various kickbacks under the table by the developers, that's why they've been intentionally "dropping the ball" on this (Bev Hills in particular). Once again, good people get screwed and money wins the day. Several historic, rent-controlled buildings (developed by the first ever female architect in California history) will be demolished in order to construct an absolute behemoth, monstrosity of a building that will ruin the character and charm of a beautiful directory of virginia beach hotels block and provide unaffordable condos in place of rent-controlled, affordable rentals. The new building is completely incongruous with the character of the rest of the block. Bev Hills should be ashamed of their complete and utter dereliction of duty here. They let their citizens directory of virginia beach hotels get blatantly shafted in favor of developers that've been abusing tenants for months (all clearly documented and ignored by Bev Hills and LA) and violating rule after rule and law after law, while Bev Hills turns a blind eye. A complete debacle and comedy of errors all around.
