We Believe In Environmental and Traffic Reviews - We do not believe in adding traffic and infrastructure burdens to Brentwood, which is consistently recognized as one of the most impacted traffic areas in Los Angeles.
We Believe in prohibiting any density increases in Fire Hazard Zones; we believe SB99 and SB9 have conflicting rules on fire zones and the City has no jurisdiction to determine which rules to follow. A "Pause" should take place on all fire zone developemnt until there is a clear, comprehensive policy. The State Fire Hazard Zone for Brentwood extends from the North Side of Sunset Blvd to Mulholland, and from the 405 Freeway to Sullivan Canyon. You can view fire hazard maps at this link.
We support housing for everyone through affordability mandates starting with the first unit built, with high and moderate density zoning located adjacent to major transit hubs or routes with frequent mass transit; we do not believe that single family only zoning must be eradicated to meet this goal and further believe that developers will build the most expensive units possible given SB9 and SB10 do not have affordability mandates.
We Support the general policy statement of the Brentwood Community Council from 2020 found at this link.
BHEC acknowledges the affordable housing crisis and the passionate advocacy of many smart people on this topic. Our goals include seeking designated affordable housing units versus developer 'in lieu fees', preserving Brentwood's current 50%-50% balance of single family and multifamily zones outside of the Brentwood fire zone and local discretion on parking, traffic, height and aesthetics. Finally, we will continue to seek density exemptions in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, with the defined right to re-build after a disaster.
BHEC is now focused on overturning the Iaws which destroy our neighborhood.s.
HOW? OUR NEIGHBORHOOD VOICES has created a ballot measure which will restore City building and planning efforts to the Cities. We need 1.3million signatures on the petition to get this measure on the November ballot.
We are raising funds to accomplish this goal. We are running ads on Facebook and Instagram. But we need paid signature gatherers in order to achieve the 1.3million signatures by the end of April.
PLEASE DONATE
BHEC will be posting their goals for 2022 after the first set of legislation is brought forth in January 2022. We will also support candidates who share our values at the local, State and National level.
