Northridge East Neighborhood Council discusses development on White Oak Avenue

At its July meeting, the Northridge East Neighborhood Council began dicussions about a proposed medium-density development on White Oak Avenue, between Lassen and Superior.

Currently, developer Ted Stein is proposing to convert four contiguous single-family homes on large lots into 32 small, single-family homes. That number was reduced from 36 to meet requirements from the L.A. Planning Department.

Stein has applied for zoning changes to make this possible, and there's potential the entire block could be redeveloped in this way, according to the neighborhood council's Web site.

In May, Don Dwiggins of the Northridge East Neighborhood Council voiced the council's opposition to the project, specifically reducing the setbacks, when the project was heard by the L.A. City Council's Planning and Land Use Management Committee.
