On the right side of historyOnce again, Beverly Wilshire HomesAssociation is on the right side of history,helping homeowners and residents puta stop to mansionization.

Our early supporthelped homeowners who wanted tostop mansionization in Beverly Groveget an excellent RFA overlay ordinance– and one of just three enacted by thecity in the last 10 years. Now BeverlyGrove has strong protection, but thecitywide Baseline MansionizationOrdinance (BMO) is seriously flawed,and McMansions are devastatingneighborhoods all over the city.

Two BWHA board members cameup with a simple and enforceablesolution to mansionization – streamlinethe citywide ordinance. BWHA was thefirst organization in the city to supportthis much-needed citywide solution.

In May, Councilmember Paul Koretzstepped up to the plate and filed a CouncilMotion to amend the BMO. In line withour thinking, his Motion zeroes in on theself-defeating bonuses and exemptionsthat turn spacious, comfortable homes intoMcMansions. And while it promises toquickly and decisively halt mansionization,the Motion still leaves other options on thetable. That means that neighborhoodsthat want additional conditions and/ordesign standards can still pursue RFA(Residential Floor Area) or HPOZ (HistoricPreservation Overlay Zone) measures.

In late July, the City Council’s Planning& Land Use Management Committee(PLUM) gave Councilmember Koretz’sMotion a sympathetic and supportivehearing and asked the Planning Dept tocome back with a report on the issue.

As we go to press, PLUM just held itshearing on that report, which proposes

an Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) tobring relief quickly to designated areas.Planning gives a timeframe of 18months for BMO amendments, and a 24months for RFA and HPOZ overlays.

Councilmembers Koretz andLaBonge supported the proposedmeasures, stressing the need for speed.Staffers for Council President HerbWesson, Councilmembers Englander,Krekorian, and Bonin also spoke in favor,underscoring the urgency, and asking toextend the ICO to additional neighborhoodsin their districts. Two individuals and onelobbyist raised objections. About 25 otherspeakers asked for faster implementationof all anti-mansionization measures.

To all members of the Community. TheBeverly Wilshire Homes AssociationBoard of Directors, its President andformer Treasurer want to thank theentire community who stood staunchlybehind us when Stan Brent filed amalicious, libelous lawsuit against us.

As most of you know, this lawsuitwas an attempt to discredit BWHAand its officers. The law prevailedand the lawsuit failed for LACK OFANY EVIDENCE of wrong doing.Hence, an appeal was filed that wasquickly withdrawn and Brent wasforced to pay the Association’sattorney’s fees, the deductible paid tothe insurance company, as well as theincrease in our insurance for the year.

BWHA has worked very hard toprotect this community for manyyears. We have accomplished greatthings and the TRUTH PREVAILEDIN THE COURT OF LAW. Webelieve that Brent has colluded withthe Beverly Press to try to underminethe BWHA because we have exposedthe truth about what the City of LosAngeles gets away with. We arerelentless and we will continue ourgreat work in many ways. Ourthanks to all of you who stood by us.THE TRUTH ALWAYS PREVAILS.

MIRACLE MILE UPDATE

The BWHA is carefully following developments on theWilshire Boulevard corridor and closely working with theMiracle Miles Residents Association. Our joint concernsinclude dislocations related to Bus Rapid Transit (BRT),subway construction, museum expansion andremodeling, and numerous private real estate projects.  

We have no doubt that the traffic impacts from theseoverlapping projects will ripple out and then mix with theextraordinary traffic congestion we already experiencefrom The Grove, Farmers Market, CBS, Beverly Center,Pacific Design Center, and Cedars-Sinai.

Furthermore, the BWHA area will also be impacted byan enormous project proposed to the north of us, at 8150Sunset, so that would be another ripple moving south tomeet up with the existing and future traffic generators.

The BWHA’s particular concern is that a focus onimmediate traffic impacts not stop in the year 2023 when thesubway will finally be operational.  Since METRO and the Cityof LA are NOT doing any planning for access to the expandedmuseums, private projects, and completed subway system,including passengers, pedestrians, bus passengers, andbicyclists, we foresee continued, major problems withboth parking and area traffic a decade from now.  

This is why we need to raise these issues now andnot wait until a future but predictable mess appears.  

Furthermore, since METRO commissioned the City ofLos Angeles to undertake this type of local transportationand land use planning back in the early 1980s for the samesubway stations, these omissions in 2014 are unforgivable.

What about kiss and ride and park and ride lots forthe subway passengers?  What about a place for busesto pull up to the subway stations?  What about locationsfor bicyclists to park their bikes?   What about bettersidewalks and tree canopies in all directions so it will becomfortable and safe to walk to bus stops, subwaystations, museums, and new apartments and stores?  

These are not zoning questions, but questions ofconstructing and monitoring public infrastructure. If theCity of Los Angeles only tries to address these vexingproblems with zoning adjustments in a corridor with noheight restrictions, they will have failed to make the broadinfrastructure improvements that are critical tosuccessfully planning for a busy transportation andcommercial corridor adjacent to residential areas.

Unfortunately, these issues are not even on the backburner.  They are just totally ignored, and this meansthere will be hell to pay for Miracle Mile and BeverlyWilshire residents in the 2020’s and beyond.

Because two of the three Committee members leftbefore the hearing ended, the matter will be continuedat a PLUM hearing later in October.

Many organizations support the Koretz Motionincluding the Miracle Mile Residents Association, theTarzana Property Owners Association, Coalition ofCD-5 Homeowners Associations, the PICO, Studio City,Westwood, and Valley Village NCs. Others are likely todeclare their support shortly.

Los Angeles media have brought much-neededattention to the issue. In January, the LA Times ran anarticle that raised serious questions about the currentmansionization blitz. In May, the Times ran a sympatheticarticle on Councilmember Koretz’s Motion to amend thecitywide mansionization ordinance. Then just last month,their widely-read and influential columnist Steve Lopeztook up the cause. He did not mince words:“ ... cities do have the power to impose and enforcezoning regulations … I don’t see why City Hall can’t puta rush on ordinance revisions or a temporary moratoriumon megahouses. The city has no greater asset than thepride people have in their own homes and communities.Before the next bulldozer rolls, city officials need to quitdawdling, step up and protect that interest.” Hear, hear! Los Angeles will never be a world-class cityuntil it protects the scale and character of its irreplaceableresidential neighborhoods. Once again, Beverly WilshireHomes stands squarely on the right side of history.

Builders of McMansions; you know who you are. You arethe developers and real estate speculators who are buyingup our historic pre-War homes, demolishing them andreplacing them with boxy, oversized McMansions akaHummer Houses, Starter Castles or Kardashian Kribs.You have enraged hundreds of thousands ofus who love our older neighborhoods. Weare asking you to end the demolitions and torespect and preserve our beautiful heritage.

For 35 years I have lived in areas of LosAngeles built from 1900 to 1940 where thereare a multitude of period revivals. I live herefor the same reason my neighbors investedin these areas — because we are in lovewith their vintage charms. My neighborhoodof North Beverly Grove was built mostly inthe 1920s, an era when the middle classcould engage the services of an architect fora custom home. Spanish Revival is thedominant style but mixed in are English andStorybook cottages as well as ItalianateRevival, Dutch Colonial, Pueblo, FrenchNorman and Chatelet houses etc. That maysound like a hodgepodge, but the ingeniousplanners of this area used unifying principlesto achieve a balance of cohesion andindividual expression. Unsightly garageswere set in the backs of the lots anduniformly sized front yards created amplegreen spaces for gardens and trees.

These areas are an open air museumdocumenting an exuberant era whenHollywood had become the Dream Factory tothe world. Our homes look less like thedesigns of an architect and more like a setfrom a silent film. Each of these houses is aunique gem in the greater treasure of whatwere once intact neighborhoods. Myneighbors and I are sickened and saddenedeach time one of these homes is replaced byan outlandish, flat-roofed McBox. Your crass, oversizedhouses scream “conspicuous consumption” and it’s nosurprise that their suburban style attached garages containCadillac Escalades and other gas guzzling globe warmers.Your McMansions are not designed so much as replicatedusing the basic template of a computer program. They areconstructed out of cheap and flimsy materials and they robus of our sunlight, our privacy and our breezes. Their bleakmodernity is an ugly rupture in the fabric of historic andaesthetic continuity. With their sealed windows, each

McMansion is an ecolo gicalcatastrophe with 25,000cubic feet to air conditionand heat through the year.

The structures you are building are not wanted here.You are rude and inconsiderate to continueto erect them and we’ve tried and almostsucceeded in stopping you. In 2008, theBaseline Mansionization Ordinance waspassed to restrict the size of newconstruction but the ordinance was flawedand riddled with loopholes. Since then, theneighborhoods of Granada Hills andBeverly Grove have fought long, hardbattles to win Residential Floor Areas toprotect their neighborhoods. Theirvictories have ignited movements inFaircrest Heights, LaBrea-Hancock, NorthBeverly Grove and Melrose Heights.

In January of this year, over 60 homeowners associations in Council District 5united to enlist the support of CouncilmanPaul Koretz to amend the BMO, somethinghe has pledged to fulfill. Your days oferecting your monster houses arenumbered but sadly, you still have time toinflict your damage. You may argue thatthese new houses selling for three and fourmillion dollars are increasing the value ofnearby homes but realtors know that thevalue of a house next door to a McMansionloses its value. Property values in HistoricPreservation Zones and Residential FloorAreas are increasing as much or more thanareas falling to mansionization

As a writer and a real estate professional,I seek to increase my prosperity as you do.We aren’t naïve enough to think we canconvince you to do the right thing which iswhy we are demanding and will eventually

win protection from city government. But let me suggestthat you try a different business model, one you willeventually have to adopt: the restoration of existing homes.Many of the faded houses here have been beautifullyrenovated and made energy efficient and have sold formore than two million dollars. The investment in arenovation costs less than a new construction. If you hadset out to restore our irreplaceable neighborhoods insteadof destroy them, you could have had our respect, ourcooperation and even our gratitude instead of our contempt.~ Clark Thomas Carlton

An Open Letter to the Builders of McMansions and the City Agencies That Must Help Us Stop Them

P.S. This open letter is not addressed as much to the builders of McMansions as it is to the city agencies andofficials who we need to clear the obstacles and enact legislation. The motion for an RFA for our area of NorthBeverly Grove has been stalled for close to two years and we've gotten nothing but excuses and lip service. Ourofficials tell us it may be a year before our neighborhoods will be granted protection, long enough that our areaswill soon look more like Simi Valley than Old Los Angeles. If the Mayor, the City Council and the PlanningDepartment want to preserve our heritage and implement the will of the majority, we need you to act now.

Just remember to plant the Bloodworth variety since itis resistant to molds and fungus on the leaves andtrunk. It is tough enough to avoid that sick, gnarly lookof the European sycamores on Drexel. You shouldalso be careful not to plant a California/westernsycamore on your parkway since its trunk grows at oddand striking angles. But, they make wonderful trees foryour front or back yard.

Second, neighbors planted gingko trees onBlackburn, between Crescent Heights and Fairfax.These are perfect trees for parkways because they areextremely resistant to disease, grow tall and straight,and have a lovely yellow color in the fall.

Third, on North Orange Grove, neighbors plantedsweet gum trees, also known as liquid amber,between Beverly and Rosewood. These treesare now reaching maturity. They provide greatshade, and turn crimson in the fall.Fourth, Beverly Wilshire’s neighborhoods nowhave many drought tolerant yards, and youcan find fine examples on nearly every street.Two, in particular, really stand out and shouldgive you some great ideas.6443 Maryland is a new, top-notch droughttolerant garden filling in very nicely.6637 Maryland has a completely differentapproach to a drought tolerant garden. Oneside of the front yard features manylarge-paddled cactus plants surrounding anorange tree. The other side of the front yard isnative sage also surrounding an orange tree.

Hall of Shame – Things you should NEVER copy.The Beverly Grove section of the Beverly Wilshire areaalready has over 75 McMansions and Beverly GroveNorth probably has even more. They not only removea street tree to make way for all the cement in theirdouble driveways, but most of the surface area of thelot also becomes hard scape in the form of roofs,sidewalks, patios, garbage can pads, pools, and spas.There are hardly any areas left for trees and droughttolerant gardens other than a few pygmy olive treesand agave plants hiding next to concrete expanses.

As bad as McMansions are in terms of landscaping,two in particular stick out even worse than the others.6414 Colgate has no trees or shrubs whatsoever, justshiny green grass that looks more like AstroTurf.

At the intersection of Colgate and Edinburgh, is atrue monstrosity. This is a McMansion underconstruction for nearly a year, and it has alreadybeen shut down for various code violations. It coversthe entire lot with building, and this means that eventhe best landscaping job will just be a drop in thebucket. Furthermore, the parkways on three sides ofthe building have been destroyed during constructionand are now just bare dirt and weeds. This scourgeis, by far, the worst example in terms of landscaping,so far, but 2014 still has three months left!

The good news is that Fall is the perfect time for plantingnearly everything in Southern California, and this includestrees, drought tolerant gardens, parkways, and yards.Once our weather turns cooler and wetter, usually bylater October into November, trees, shrubs, and perennialplants are not stressed when they are planted.Furthermore, they can become well established beforethe rainy season kicks in – assuming we finally have onethis year. By the time our many warm, dry months beginby late spring, your plants should be hale and hardy.

So following the advice of Hillary Clinton,REMEMBER NOT TO DO STUPID STUFF. What isgood for foreign policy also worksfine for trees, flowers, and shrubs.— Don’t plant trees that drop fruitor messy flowers on sidewalks andparked cars. In other words, don’tplant jacarandas or fruit trees inyour parkway (the area betweenthe sidewalk and the curb).— Don’t plant trees that grow tallor trees with a central leader, suchas needle trees or palms, underutility lines. For the most part thismeans north-south streets, suchas LaJolla, Sweetzer or Orlandoshould be planted with smalltrees, such as the gold medalliontrees on LaJolla or the bottlebrush trees on Sweetzer.— Don’t plant small trees onstreets without overhead wires. Take advantage of thatopen space and go for large trees. If you are not clearon this concept, just walk over to Beverly Hills. Thereyou can see that the city’s arborists have planted largetrees on all streets that do not have overhead wires.— Don’t break the rhythm of your street. If your streetalready has a regularly planted tree, such assycamores on Maryland and Drexel, than stick withthat tree. Sticking with the existing tree theme will notonly look better in the long run, but it will increase thevalue of all properties on the block.

Luckily, there are many ways to lighten your loadwhen it comes to tree plantings.

First, drop a line to the BWHA and we will happilyscope out your house and block to guide you to thebest tree. thebwha2@aol.com

Second, take a look at ourneighborhood for wonderfully positiveand unbelievably negative examplesof what to do – or what not to do.Hall of Fame – Things you can copy.First, in recent years several streetshave been systematically planted withnew parkway trees. Maryland standsout because of its London plane trees,also known as European sycamores.

one lone low-income unitOh, but we're giving up 1 unit for a low income renter.

That should solve the housing crisis for the not wealthy.And holding the banner of benefactor for the poor isCalifornia Landmark, a real estate development andinvestment company, with its gracious offer of one lonelow-income unit... That’s one out of eighteen units,which equates to 5% of the building.

For this generous offer of onelone low-income unit, the developeris not going un-rewarded...They get to put up an apartmentbuilding 25% taller than is allowedunder current zoning regulations.

Current zoning is 45 feet and this one lonelow-income unit gives this developer a 56 foot building.That’s 11 feet taller than is currently allowed, abutting R1single-family homes, no less. But, wait, there’s more...this 5th and Fairfax project also sits on a sink hole oftoxic material. Once a cleaners and possible gas station,the land is contaminated with methane, gasoline, dieseland asbestos + a cocktail of various toxic substances...a perfect site for high rent apartments... no?

Why, I ask. Why? The developer is using State measure SB1818, meantto provide affordable housing to those people whocould not otherwise afford to live there. In this case, it’sone lone low-income unit which is providing thisdeveloper with 25% more height and less parking thanhe would normally have to provide + a few other perks.More density. More height. More traffic. Less parking.

This project is sandwiched between Fairfax and analley, in the heart of the most congested area in all ofLA... between the Grove/Farmers Market and LACMA.This wanna-be entitled building sits 5 blocks equidistantbetween 3rd Steeet and Wilshire Blvd. To the south, theMotion Picture Academy is building their huge projectconnected to LACMA. The Peterson car museum isgetting a major redo and the subway is going in with astation on the corner. To the north is a large shoppingcenter and The Grove /Farmers Market... it’s just nuts!

This is what they are offering the neighbors andthe whole city... They will TRY to mitigate the dust, theenvironmental hazards, the noise and the parking.

Meanwhile, reality is, their trucks, machines andworkers will fill the alley, where homes and offices havetheir garages and driveways. They will fill our streets,which do not have enough parking for our currentresidents. They will fill the air with poisonous pollutionand non-stop reverberating noise. All of this in an areawhich is already suffocated and impacted by existinginfrastructure. To add insult to injury, each resident ofthis entitled building will be able to purchase a parkingpermit and 2 guest passes. This should over-fill up ourstreets at all hours of the day and night.

They will TRY to mitigate the residue that escapesfrom the earth. The fungi, bacterium, carcinogens andpoisonous vapors will not only pollute our area, butbecome air born, and float over the whole city. This iswhat we are breathing, all for one lone low-income unit.

Oh, and lest we forget whoLandmark is... In January of thisyear, on a Sunday, they sent anenvironmental company to start workon testing soils. They were told theycould not work on Sunday, but theychose to not disturb their commercialtenants. Instead, they chose todisturb the neighborhood they aremoving into. And disturb us, they

did... the environmental people struck a gas line whileprobing and 3 gas trucks were working in the alley for9 hours, trying to fix their mess. The complete lack ofrespect for our neighborhood is daunting.Developers have taken advantage of this state law,SB1818, and it’s time we close the loopholes and lookat it with a more critical eye. Our Infrastructure, alreadyin peril, is facing a “block busting”, high rent, 5-storybuilding, all because of one lone low-income unit.

We must stop this overbuilding now. It is vital you email your comments ASAP:

Our City Planner: Jennifer.Karmels@lacity.org Our Councilmember: Paul.Koretz@lacity.org

Earlier this year, the preferential parking sign posted onSweetzer, just north of Beverly Blvd, was replaced bythe street services permit division, after being there forthe past 25 years. These four parking spaces, next toa parking lot on this R1 residentially zoned street, aredirectly across from homes and nowhave absolutely no parking restriction,except for street cleaning. The permitdivision’s reasoning is that those spacesare needed by nearby businesses.

Currently, one unit in the building onthe NW corner of Beverly and Sweetzerhas been leased to a coffee shop,which will be open until 11:30pm daily.As the remaining vacant retail units areleased, residents and their guests willfind themselves competing with thenearby businesses for parking.

There are other parking lots on residentially zonedstreets on both sides of Beverly Blvd, between Fairfaxand La Cienega, and they all have preferential parkingsigns. Residents on those streets may be next to losepreferential parking spaces. Beware, the city is givingaway residential parking spaces to commercial entities,one block-at-a-time.

We must all be aware by now of the massive projects in the works thatwill further lock us into our community:• 3 subway stops under construction on Wilshire Blvd:

1) at La Brea, 2) at Fairfax, 3) at La Cienega. Construction is scheduled to last 10 years.

• May Company conversion to the Motion Picture Academy Museum, witha proposed new building addition of a 1000 seat theater which will beproviding NO new additional parking.

AND NOW... we have the Grove owner, Caruso Affiliated, who would liketo build a 20 story luxury rental property with ground floor retail at theformer Loehmans site - corner of Burton Way and La Cienega.

HELLO!! In case anyone in this community has forgotten; Beverly Wilshire Homesand Burton Way Homeowners successfully fought and filed a lawsuitagainst the Beverly Connection when they wanted to build three, 20 storybuildings at the corner of Beverly Blvd. and La Cienega. Our lawsuit wassuccessful because that project violated our Community Plan, the GeneralPlan and the Height Limit of 45 feet that exists along La Cienega. This newproposal is the same violation. How many times do we have to fight thissame battle to preserve the zoning protections we relied on when wechose to invest our money and live here?

Now, another greedy developer would like to add to our deterioratingquality of life. How many of you can currently use La Cienega to get yourchildren to school, go to the bank, the grocery store, etc. withoutencountering the worst traffic in the City? It appears that Mr. Caruso isn'tsatisfied with his uber successful Grove project, which has causedmassive traffic jams with inadequate parking for those who live in the area.He now wants to further add to our problems with another entitled project.Why? Because he owns the property, he has deep pockets and he can.

It appears this community is in for another fight. Stay tuned!!!!

ARE WE DESTINED TO LIVE IN THE MIDST OF GRIDLOCK & CONSTRUCTION?

HELP US HELP YOU! Become a member of Beverly Wilshire Homes Association today.

Together we can work toward a vision that will enhance our community,while rising-up against developers who do not have our interests at heart.
