Members of the Planning Department will attend the La Brea Hancock Board meeting on Tuesday, April 17 to brief the neighborhood on the zoning plan underway for the Purple Line.  If you live near one of the Q-condition lots in our neighborhood currently being used for surface parking, this meeting should be of direct importance.

A “Q” Condition is an LA City Planning Department requirement applied to a specific property.  The empty lots at the end of S. Citrus, S Mansfield, S. Orange, and S. Sycamore at Carling Way -and- the lots on the 400 block of S. Sycamore are C2-1 lots with a Q Condition.  The Q is for R-1 (single family homes).

Given that there is a push to build density near transit hubs, the lots with the Q Condition could be open to re-zoning, and possibly up-zoning from single-family homes to multi-family dwellings, during the Purple Line Transit Plan process.  That is why it is important to get informed.  Hope you can make the meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting will be held from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm at the Eisele Residence – 359 S. Citrus Ave.

Agenda is as follows:

• 7pm – Welcome – Tammy Rosato
