Fight Escalates vs. Proposed Elder-Care Facility in Northridge

7/3/2013

0 Comments

 
The Northridge East Neighborhood Council is expected to vote tonight on a proposal to "disapprove" of a proposed elder-care facility in Northridge, the latest skirmish in a long-running battle over this specific project and elder-care facility proposals across the Valley.

The 3-story, 140-unit facility proposed for a 2.3-acre site at Parthenia Street and Shoshone Avenue received Zoning Administrator approval in April. But the case was appealed by  Tom Bramson, president of the Sherwood Forest Homeowners Assn., along with Colleen Marmor and Lisa Cerda of the Community Rights Foundation of Los Angeles.

Cerda wrote in a guest column on CityWatchLA.com that the ZA's approval was "fatally flawed, and could not withstand a judge’s review." She also claimed that Councilman Mitch Englander will soon introduce a motion that would "relieve the community of the burdensome Eldercare Facility Ordinance. " 

The NENC meets tonight at 7 p.m. in the Northridge Recreation Center, 18300 Lemarsh St. It should be noted that the NENC, like all neighborhood councils, does not have the authority to approve or deny an entitlement request such as the proposed elder-care facility. The NCs do serve an advisory role to the Planning Department and the council offices, however, on local land-use issues.

The appeal has not been scheduled with the North Valley Area Planning Commission yet.
