On Wednesday, July 13, 2006, the Transportation
Committee of the City Council recommended to the
full City Council approval of an ordinance that would
set up a parking credit system, allowing new
businesses in existing buildings along Colorado
Boulevard to purchase parking credits from a pool of
existing public parking spaces rather than having to
provide additional on-site, off street parking or apply
for a variance for reduced parking.
As part of that ordinance, a City wide standard
will be applied, modifying the Colorado Boulevard
Specific Plan to allow buildings that have been
designated on the National Register of Historic Places
or the State or City list of historical or cultural
monuments, to provide no additional parking spaces
in connection with a change of use. However, a
decision making body as part of a discretionary
approval related to a change of use may impose
conditions requiring additional parking requirements in
connection with the change of use. In other words,
if a restaurant owner in a historic building applies for
a Conditional Use Permit to serve liquor for on-site
consumption as part of a change of use from a
hardware store to a restaurant, additional parking
requirements may be imposed if the decision maker
deems it necessary. Existing parking for such
historically designated buildings shall be maintained if
the proposed use requires the same or more parking.
And if the floor area of such a historically designated
building is increased, then parking shall be provided
for the increased floor area as set forth by the
municipal code.
This is the way parking regulations in the rest of
the City function, but for some reason was changed
in the Colorado Boulevard Specific Plan creating a
hardship for new uses attempting to locate in
historically designated structures.
But enough of the technical talk. For those of
you who are interested in such matters, see Section
12.21 A.4(x)(2) of the City’s Planning and Zoning
Code. The Code is available on line at http://www.lacity.o
rg/pln . Once you get to the City Planning
Department web site, on the left hand side, click
on “Zoning Information”. Then click on “Zone Code”
and begin your search. There’s lots of interesting
information on the Planning Department web site if
you have time to look around.
The important thing is that a number of diverse
interest groups came together behind the leadership
of Linda Allen and the ERCPR Board to support this
innovative parking program, which, if successful, will
serve as a model for similar programs on a City-wide
basis. Testifying at the public hearing in support of
the ordinance were Linda Allen, Lucy Spurgeon, and
Ray Patel from the ERCPR Board; Mott Smith, ERCPR’s
consultant who worked with the various interests in
Eagle Rock and the City to research, revise and
refine the ordinance to a point where it made sense
for businesses, residents, and the City; Paula
Chrisostimo from Occidental College, also on the
ERCPR Board; Jessica Wethington McLean from the
Eagle Rock Neighborhood Council, and me, on behalf
of TERA. Also testifying was Paul Sislin, owner of
several historic buildings.
The City’s Transportation Committee, chaired by
Councilmember Wendy Gruel and attended by
Councilmembers Bernard Parks, formerly Chief of
Police for the City, and Bill Rosendahl were very
complimentary of the Eagle Rock Community for
working to develop this innovative parking approach,
and Ms. Gruel, along with several other
Councilmembers, hope to utilize this type of program
in the more urban areas of their districts.
The ordinance still must go to the City Council’s
Planning and Land Use Management Committee for its
recommendation and then to the full City Council for
a vote. Councilmember Gruel requested that a report
be made to the Transportation Committee in six
months to determine how the program is working and
if any changes need to be made to it.
TERA feels this ordinance is a step in the
direction of preserving existing buildings by allowing
them an innovative way of complying with parking
needs. It will also assist in creating the sort of
pedestrian friendly business district that those who
work and live in Eagle Rock have been working so
hard to create. And it corrects the Colorado
Boulevard Specific Plan to eliminate a requirement for
an increase in required parking when there is a
change of use in historic buildings, helping to
preserve those buildings and allow for their
productive reuse.
I’ll let everyone know when the matter goes to
Planning and Land Use Management Committee and
to the full City Council. And I think Eagle Rock can
be justifiably proud of its role in developing new and
innovative parking programs that meet the needs of
the community, not just the requirements of the
municipal code. Thanks to all who worked so hard to
get us this far.  Michael Tharp, President

“Funeral Ceremonies” will be held at 10:00 a.m.
this Saturday, July 15, for the Southwest Museum
with pallbearers, Aztec dancers, Tongva Native
American puppets (created by the Arroyo Arts
Collective) and mourners taking part in a procession
from the Southwest Museum Gold Line station to the
gates of the museum.
The Friends of the Southwest Museum Coalition,
supported by the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council
and other community groups, will mourn the demise
of L.A.’s oldest museum, closed for long-
term “repairs” by new owners, the Autry National
Center, while its priceless collection is removed for
eventual display in a new Griffith Park facility.
Members of the community are urged to
participate in this event and in the candlelight vigil to
be held at 8:00 p.m. that evening at Sycamore Grove
Park.
The ceremony will start at MTA’s Southwest
Museum Gold Line Station, 4600 Marmion Way and
will proceed one block to pedestrian gates of the
Southwest Museum, 234 Museum Drive. Elected
officials are also invited to attend.
More Support for Southwest Museum from
ASNC
Eliot Jain writes:
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council has
resolved to join the Friends of the Southwest
Museum Coalition in observing Saturday, July 15 as
a "Day of Mourning" to mark the Southwest Museum's
closure and will participate with the Coalition in a
Funeral Ceremony--to begin at 10 am-- at or near
the Southwest Museum Gold Line Station and
proceed to the Museum's doors.
Members of the community and friends of the
Museum are invited to participate. The ASNC also
endorses the Candlelight Vigil scheduled for 8 p.m.
the same day, beginning at Sycamore Grove Park and
continuing to the doors of the Museum.
The following is the text of the resolution
adopted by the ASNC at the Council's July 6 board
meeting:
“Whereas, The Southwest Museum of the
American Indian has served as a cultural icon of our
neighborhood, for the City of Los Angeles and as an
important educational resource for our children since
opening at its present location in 1914, and
Whereas, its closure for a lengthy restoration
process renders its unusable to school children and,
in particular, to the students of the Arroyo Magnet
School and,
Whereas, the Museum current owners, the Autry
National Center, have been unwilling to commit to a
funding plan for the Southwest Museum, have
resisted community efforts aimed at retaining the
institution as a museum, are in the process of
removing its priceless collection from our
neighborhood and have advanced plans to re-
purpose the building despite the clearly expressed
wishes of the community,
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council supports
community efforts to declare Saturday, July 15 as a
Day of Mourning for the Southwest Museum and
declares its support for ceremonies planned on that
day by the Southwest Museum Coalition, by the
parents of the Arroyo Magnet School and other
community groups.
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council asks that
Mayor Villaraigosa and all members of the Los Angeles
City Council intercede on behalf of Los Angeles oldest
museum by demanding that the Autry National Center
make a written commitment to the retention of the
Southwest Museum as the primary exhibitor of the
artifacts from the Lummis Collection and,
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council requests
that a full Environmental Impact report be sought
before permissions be granted for the Autry National
Center’s planned expansion at its Griffith Park
location.”
Nicole Possert sends a reminder for those
interested in supporting the Southwest Museum:

After a break for July 4th, the market is back in
action. If the holiday got you in the mood for BBQ
then you're in luck as we welcome a new vendor to
the market this week. Robin's Wood Fire BBQ of
Pasadena will be grilling tri-tip, ribs, brats, hot dogs
and serving garlic fries and fresh squeezed lemonade
so make sure to come down and welcome them to
the market.
As we get into the heat of summer, stone fruits--
peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots and pluots--are
starting to near their peak. After going away for July
4th and being forced to buy my peaches in the
supermarket, I was reminded again of why I'm so
lucky to be able to shop at a farmers market.
Supermarket peaches tend to be picked well before
they've ripened on the tree and a peach picked too
early will never develop the same flavors as one
that's been able to ripen on the tree. If you see a
peach that still has a greenish tint, stay away, it's
been picked too early and won't ripen properly.
If you're wondering what to do with all the
delicious peaches and nectarines available at the
market, here's a great recipe that you can enjoy with
yogurt, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just on
it own. Slice 3 cups of peaches or nectarines and mix
in a bowl with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 2
tablespoons lemon juice. Allow the flavors to combine
for one hour, mixing occasionally, and you'll discover
how wonderful this simple dessert can be. If you
have any favorite recipes that make use of farmers'
market produce and which you'd like to share, please
email them to sbudick@caltech.edu.
Starting next week, you'll be able to see a
complete list of what's in season at the market at http://w
ww.its.caltech.edu/~sbudick. Until then, you'll
be able to find strawberries, corn, avocados, lettuce,
oranges, lemons, broccoli, cabbage, potatoes,
onions, garlic and too much else to list here. As
always, you can also pick up fresh bread, cheese,
honey and flowers and enjoy dinner from the rest of
our prepared food vendors including rotisserie
chicken, baked potatoes and yams and roasted corn.
Don't worry about the heat as shaved ice and
smoothies will keep you cool.
Please stop by the market for fresh, field-
ripened, high quality produce from local farmers and
spend time with your friends, neighbors and other
community members.
The Highland Park Certified Farmers Market is
located adjacent to the Highland Park Gold Line
station at Marmion Way between Ave. 57 & 58 and
operates Tuesdays from 3-8 p.m.
Visit the market website at http://www.oldla.org. Also visit http://w

Phone solicitations and how to ignore them
The sure way of eliminating the [dinner time]
calls is to monitor or screen all calls through a
answering machine. It's amazing how many "hang-
ups" occur when you use this method. Our friends,
family, and (okayed) business callers know to talk
after the message. If I'm in earshot I'll pick up. If not
or I'm busy elsewhere I call back ASAP. The only
calls technically allowed through are non-profit
solicitations and all those political pitches (under the
guises of non-profit).
As for the tagging issue, why must others feel
our public and private property is fair game to leave
their garbage, either words or trash? What happened
to the days when children were taught to leave the
place they visit cleaner than when they arrived. It
applies to public as well as private property. Would
these ill-mannered humanoids like it if we came into
their space and trashed it??? I think not.
I came upon a student at Pasadena City College
that just dropped a wrapper on the ground and irked
to the max I said to this individual, "Your mother's
not here to pick up after you. Pick up the wrapper
and deposit it in the trash can." The student and his
groupies looked astonished, stopped, picked up the
wrapper, and placed it in a trash can 5 feet from
them. There was dead silence as I walked behind
them to my destination.

After a brazen daylight burglary of my home on
Ellenwood north of Colorado (jumping fence, cutting
thru window screen) and then another burglary on
Hill Drive, a man was captured Friday July 7 thanks to
an alert neighbor who called 911 to report a prowler
in a neighbor's backyard.
LAPD did a great job, caught him red-handed and
returned the stolen items the same day.
One less burglar on our streets, but may I ask
that you disseminate a continuing caution that folks
should NOT leave windows open during the day,
should consider bars on back windows where they
are less visible (ugly) but can deter burglars, etc. It
might also be useful to remind folks that it was only
due to the concern and vigilance of a neighbor that
the police were called re: intruder. If people just
ignore what's happening around them, we can't
blame the police for the crime rates! So people
should make that 911 call if anything looks
unusual.
