The
letter
states
to
the
Planning
Commission
Californians
for
homeownership
is
a
501c3
nonprofit
organization
devoted
to
using
legal
tools
to
address
California's
housing,
crisis
and
rating
as
part
of
our
work
monitoring,
local
compliance
with
California's
laws
regarding
accessory
dwelling
units
ad
use.
This
letter
follows
up
on
our
March
10th
email,
April
24th
letter
in
April
29th
emails
to
Community,
Development,
Director,
Christopher
Jackson.
Our
prior
correspondence
raised
concerns
about
the
city's
compliance
with
the
revised
state,
EDU
law
or
April.
24Th
letter
is
attached
here
for
your
reference.
F
We
are
writing
to
you
because
our
correspondence
to
city
staff
has
gone
unanswered.
We
do
not
believe
that
Inglewood
would
intentionally
violate
the
state's
ATU
laws,
but
we
are
growing
increasingly
concerned
by
staffs
failure
to
respond
to
our
correspondence.
We
request
that
the
Planning
Commission
direct
staff
to
address
our
correspondence
and
they
had
requested
that
be
read
into
the
record
one
other
just
a
moment.
F
The
second
email
because
of
its
because
it's
regarding
one
of
our
agenda
items
we
just
want
to
make
you
aware
of
it.
It
was
a
response
to
inquiries
we
received
in
the
last
couple
days
because
of
kovat
19
constraints
and
the
time
sensitivity
of
the
inquiry
we're
reading
that
into
the
record.
Now
the
email
inquiry
received
on
Tuesday
stated
dear
mr.
Jackson
miss
Wilcox
and
miss
Horton.
We
see
that
a
phone
number
and
access
code
are
provided
for
participation
in
the
May
6
2020
Planning
Commission.
F
Hearing
at
what
point
during
the
meeting
is
the
public
able
to
speak?
How
are
these
comments
being
coordinated
to
ensure
that
each
person
is
heard
and
recorded?
Will
agenda
items
5a
and
5b
of
the
May
6
20
20
Planning
Commission
meeting
be
heard
and
is
the
council
meeting?
Does
this
Planning
Commission
had
the
authority
to
recommend
an
item
not
go
beyond
the
Planning
Commission
and
less?
An
item
is
appealed.
What
are
the
appeal
periods
for
items
5a
and
5b?
F
Where
can
I
find
the
appeal
form
from
Veronica
LeBron
of
the
Silverstein
law
firm,
and
we
responded
first
question
at
what
point
during
the
meeting?
Is
the
public
able
to
speak
our
response?
The
public
will
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
at
each
instance
on
the
agenda,
where
indicated
and
during
each
public
hearing
item
when
the
Chairman
will
call
for
public
comments.
F
Second
question:
how
are
these
comments
being
coordinated
to
ensure
that
each
person
is
heard
and
recorded
to
speak?
Our
response,
the
speakers
on
the
phone
will
be
audible
in
the
council
chamber
and
to
those
on
the
conference
line.
An
audio
recording
is
made
of
all
Planning
Commission
meetings,
question
three
well
agenda
items
5a
and
5b
be
heard
at
a
City
Council
meeting.
Our
response
was
yes
next
question:
does
the
Planning
Commission
have
the
authority
to
recommend
an
item
not
go
beyond
the
Planning
Commission?
F
Unless
an
item
is
appealed,
our
response
was
they
have
the
authority
to
recommend
that
the
City
Council
not
approve
a
legislative
zoning
action
that
they,
the
Planning
Commission,
are
reviewing
body
of
last
question:
what
are
the
appeal
periods
for
items
5a
and
5b?
Where
can
I
find
the
appeal
form?
Our
response?
Was
these
items
do
not
have
an
appeal
process,
as
the
Planning
Commission
is
making
a
recommendation
not
approving
or
denying
the
amendments
will
go
automatically
to
the
City
Council
for
their
consideration?

N
Evening,
chairman
Springs
and
commissioners,
this
evening,
I
am
presenting
general
plan
amendment
20,
2000,
1,
adoption
of
the
environmental
justice
element
to
the
general
plan
on
April
13th,
the
Planning
Commission
met
and
considered
and
determined
to
recommend
to
the
City
Council
adoption
of
the
EJ
element
to
the
general
plan.
However,
prior
to
the
Planning
Commission
meeting
staff
received
the
comment
letter,
which
included
concerns
pertaining
to
the
city's
public
noticing
process
during
kovat
19,
as
well
as
an
opportunity
for
public
comment
to
address
those
comments
outlined
in
a
letter.
N
N
The
environmental
justice
element
must
address
the
following:
it
must
reduce
health
risk
in
the
disadvantaged
communities.
Second,
it
must
promote
civil
engagement
in
the
public
decision-making
process
and
third
prioritize
improvements
and
programs
that
address
the
needs
of
disadvantaged
communities.
N
The
California
Environmental
Protection
Agency
has
a
mapping
tool
known
as
Cal
enviroscreen
3.0,
the
calenviroscreen
maps,
areas
with
different
levels
of
pollution
and
population
characteristics
that
relate
to
environmental
justice.
Higher
scores
mean
an
area
has
a
higher
pollution,
and/or
population
burden
than
other
areas
of
the
state.
The
city
of
Inglewood
scores
tend
to
be
higher
but
similar
to
other
cities
in
the
metropolitan
area,
and
this
is
a
map
of
invite
calenviroscreen
3.0
for
the
city
of
Englewood,
and
so
the
lower
score
is
less.
Pollution.
N
Burden
tend
to
be
located
in
northern
eastern
limits
of
the
city,
while
higher
scores,
which
are
more
pollution,
burden
are
located
to
the
west
southwest
and
south,
as
mentioned,
the
city's
average
may
be
hired.
But
it's
not
you
not
unique
to
the
region.
Many
cities
in
the
area
have
similar
pollution
burden.
N
So
excuse
me,
there
are
six
key
environmental
justice
topics
addressed
in
our
environmental
justice
element.
First
is
meaningful
public
engagement
seconds
land-use
in
the
environment,
third
mobility
and
active
living?
Fourth:
access
to
healthy
food
fifth
is
healthy
and
affordable
housing
and
six
is
public
facilities,
and
each
section
includes
an
introduction
goal
statement
and
an
action-oriented
policy
statements
for
meaningful
public
engagement,
public
involvement
and
decisions
that
affect
their
environment
and
quality
of
life
is
essential
to
the
implementation,
environmental
justice.
N
The
city
ensures
and
commits
in
it
to
end
to
ensure
that
all
persons
will
have
the
opportunity
to
first
participate
in
decisions
that
affect
their
environment
and,
secondly,
have
their
concerns
considered
in
the
process.
The
city's
goal
for
meaningful
public
engagement
is
to
have
residents
and
stakeholders
that
are
aware
of
and
effectively
participate
in,
decisions
that
affect
their
environment
and
quality
of
life
to
address
and
guide
the
implementation
of
this
goal.
There
are
eight
policies
in
the
area
of
governance
and
ten
policies
in
the
area.
N
Participation
and
collaboration
next
is
land-use
and
environment
key
to
quality
of
life
as
the
build
is
to
live
in
a
healthful
environment
with
clean
air.
Potable
water,
nutritious
food
and
a
safe
place
to
live
the
city's
goal
to
reduce
the
pollution
burden
faced
by
disadvantaged
populations
in
all
sectors
of
the
city
is
to
minimize
the
city's
exposure
to
pollution
in
the
environment
through
sound
planning
and
public
decision-making
to
address
and
guide
the
implementation
of
this
goal.
N
The
next
key
area
is
mobility
and
active.
Living
opportunities
for
physical
activity
are
important
for
bringing
equity
to
disadvantaged
communities.
Physical
activity
in
a
community
is
directly
related
to
the
built
environment
through
having
places
they
encourage,
walking,
biking
and
other
forms
of
exercise.
The
city's
goal
to
encourage
mobility
and
active
living
is
to
promote
physical
activity
and
opportunities
for
active
living
in
all
communities,
and
there
are
nine
policies
that
are
drafted
in
the
area
of
access
and
connectivity
and
three
policies
in
the
area
of
urban
greening.
N
Access
to
healthy
food
is
the
next
key
area
to
ensure
health
and
well-being
of
the
community.
It
is
essential
that
all
community
members
have
access
to
healthy
food,
and
the
goal
in
this
area
for
healthy
food
is
that
healthy,
affordable
and
culturally
appropriate
food
is
readily
available
to
all
members
of
the
community.
To
guide
this
goal,
there
are
ten
policies
in
the
area
of
affordable
and
nutritious
food
and
six
policies
in
the
area
concerning
urban
agriculture.
N
The
fifth
area
key
area
is
healthy
and
affordable
housing.
Housing
affordability
is
a
major
concern
throughout
Southern
California,
the
high
cost
of
housing
can
affect
health
by
prohibiting
access
to
high
quality
housing,
which
can
often
be
too
expensive.
Living
in
poor
quality
house
that
can
increase
exposure
to
environment
hazards
and
the
goal
to
promote
healthy
and
affordable
housing
is
to
provide
safe
and
sanitary
housing
conditions
and
affordable
housing
options
for
all
income
levels
of
the
community.
N
There
are
nine
policies
in
the
area
of
Housing
condition
and
five
policies
for
housing,
affordability
and
displacement,
and
then
last
is
public
facilities
and
improvement.
Public
facilities,
improvements
in
programs
and
public
facilities
are
improvements,
services
and
amenities
that
benefit
the
community.
These
facilities
are
often
directed
to
more
affluent
areas
of
the
city.
Disadvantaged
communities
have
traditionally
had
fewer
public
investments
in
their
neighborhood,
and
our
goal
in
this
area
is
to
adequately
and
equitably
distribute
public
facilities,
improvements
and
programs
that
are
available
in
all
communities,
and
there
are
nine
policies
for
public
facilities.
B
Questions
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments
good
evening
in
your
discussion.
I
believe
that
since
then,
environmental
justice
element
is
made
to
include,
and
it
applies
to
disadvantaged
communities
and
you
and
it's
a
very
good
report
by
the
way,
I
think
that
you
mention
them
in
paragraphs
1
and
3
on
page
2,
but
I
think
it
should
be
a
defined
term
that
the
reason
for
this
EJ
element
is
to
discuss
in
depth.
Disadvantaged
communities
which
are
not
generally
discussed
in
the
general
plan,
also
I.
B
Think
in
that,
and
that's
why
it
differs
from
a
general
plan
because
and
I'm
sorry,
an
environmental
justice
element
differs
from
a
general
plan
in
that
it
applies
to
disadvantaged
communities
and
I
think
that
we
should
state.
So
in
our
document
also
on
page
2,
the
state
of
California,
you
mention
all
races,
cultures
and
income
levels,
I
think
we
should
also
mention
national
origin.
B
G
L
Position
that
we
found
ourselves
in
now
is
there
anything
that
we
can
do.
It
seems
like
everything
here
is
set
on
projects
moving
forward.
If
anything,
we
can
do
to
potentially
do
some
discovery
or
an
overview,
and
things
we've
done
in
the
past
that
we
might
be
able
to
correct
one
of
the
only
live-fire
training
centers
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
neighborhood.
They
burned
fires
two
or
three
times
a
week.
L
L
Our
training
center,
we
are
the
only
life
training
center.
You
know
they
come.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
can
do
an
OB
on
that
and
figure
out
how
we
can
lessen
the
amount
of
time
that
they're
actually
having
the
burning
or
potentially
do
what
everything
else
is
done
to
clean
up
their
environment
and
push
the
live-fire
training
harder
to
have
to
be,
or
some
things
like
that.
F
Well,
Commissioner,
that's
previously
established
use.
What
we
could
do
is
reach
out
to
the
air
quality
district
and
find
out
what
restrictions
they're
allowed
to
operate
under
and
determine,
if
they're
operating
outside
of
that
or
we
can
notify
the
air
district,
how
often
they're
operating
so
they
can
ensure
they're
following
their
permit
requirements.
M
F
N
Meeting
staff
received
a
comment
letter
which
included
concerns
pertaining
to
public
noticing,
as
well
as
the
opportunity
for
public
to
comment
and
to
address
those
comments,
and
this
journal
play
minutes
being
note,
has
been
reduced
and
is
being
reconsidered.
This
evening,
California
Code
sections
like
six
five,
three
zero
zero
requires
each
city
and
county
to
adopt
a
general
plan.
General
plans
provide
the
framework
for
translating
community
values
and
expectations
into
strategies
for
managing
growth
and
enhancing
quality
of
life.
The
city's
general
plan
appears
to
fulfill
California
planning
and
zoning
law
requirements.
N
N
The
requirement
that
the
land-use
element
include
a
statement
of
the
standards
of
population
density
and
building
intensity
recommended
for
the
various
districts
and
other
territories
covered
by
the
plan,
and
so
a
general
plan
must
contain
standards
for
population
density.
Population
density
is
a
relationship
between
the
number
of
potential
residents
in
a
given
area.
An
acre
and
the
number
of
potential
residents
is
largely
based
on
the
number
of
allowed
dwellings
in
that
given
area
to
calculate
the
population
density.
N
You
would
take
the
dwelling
units
per
acre
multiplied
by
the
number
of
residents
per
dwelling.
The
general
plan
currently
contains
density
dwelling,
dwelling
density
ranges
based
and
based
on
the
California
Department
of
Finance
estimations
of
three
point:
zero.
Two
people
per
unit,
the
following
population
densities,
are
proposed
for
the
land
use,
designation,
low
density,
residential
allowed
density
dwellings
are
1
to
6
units
per
acre,
and
that
equates
to
a
population
density
of
3.0
to
218
point
12.
N
The
next
low
medium
density,
residential
allowed
density
dwelling
units
are
7
to
22
units
per
acre
and
a
population
density.
The
21
point
one
four
to
sixty
six
point:
four
for
medium
density.
You
see
those
numbers
population
density
of
69,
point
forty
six
to
two
to
one
hundred
and
twenty
nine
point.
Eighty
six
and
then
four
major
mixed-use.
The
population
density
is
up
to
256
point.
Seven.
N
The
building
general
plan
must
also
contain
standards
for
building
intensity
for
non-residential
land
use
designations.
The
building
intensity
standard
defines
the
concentration
of
use
building
floor
area
ratio,
which
is
the
building
total
floor
area
divided
by
the
site
areas.
The
standard
used
for
commercial,
industrial,
public,
quasi
public
intensity,
the
calculation
to
determine
the
building
area
ratio
percentage
is
the
total
building
floor
area
divided
by
the
site
area
times
100.
N
An
illustration
of
this
is
the
proposed
building
area
ratio
takes
into
account
current
setbacks,
the
landscape
buffer
requirements,
as
well
as
height
allowances
for
each
land
use
designation.
In
this
example,
you
have
an
industrial
site
with
a
total
site
area,
that's
equal
to
roughly
a
thousand
square
feet,
the
setbacks
equal
a
total
of
a
hundred
square
feet.
So
your
building
area
is
900
square
feet
this.
In
this
illustration,
the
building
has
six
floors,
so
the
total
building
area
is
six
floors
times.
N
900
equals
5,400
square
feet
to
calculate
the
building
area
ratio
for
this
industrial
site.
You
would
take
that
5,400
square
feet
divided
by
a
thousand,
which
is
your
total
site
area.
Multiple,
the
two
combined
multiplied
multiplied
by
a
hundred
equals
five
hundred
and
forty
percent,
so
the
building
area
ratio
is
five
hundred
and
forty
percent,
as
proposed.
The
structures
could
not
exceed
the
building.
N
The
specified
building
area
ratio
for
the
land
use,
designation,
commercial
land
use,
designation,
building
intensity
building
area
ratio
equals
a
total
up
to
four
hundred
and
ninety
percent
commercial
residential
up
to
400
square
percent
for
commercial
recreational.
It's
up
to
eight
hundred
and
eighty
percent.
Industrial
is
one
thousand
three
hundred
and
eighty
percent
Hospital
Medical
/
residential
is
up
to
three
hundred
and
ninety
percent.
