Studio City: SCNC Reviews Bill SB1818

On Oct. 6, the SCNC board voted unanimously to support a Community Impact Statement reinforcing concerns about Senate Bill 1818. Los Angeles Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky sent a four-page letter to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa expressing the flaws of the SB1818, which allows for a range of density bonuses up to 35 percent based on the percentage of affordable units in adevelopment. Villaraigosa says the efforts to increase afforable housing by limiting the height of buildings is a “poorly thought-out effort.” Villaraigosa shares some of the same concerns and hopes to work them out.
