North Hollywood Ca Development And Redevelopment

The North Hollyood Project Committee's vociferous objection to the Community Redevelopment Agency was silenced Tuesday night. At their first meeting since the Los Angeles city attorney's office cautioned them not to discuss a 43-acre studio complex proposed by J. Allen Radford of Santa Monica-based JARCO/SLG&G, committee members reluctantly complied.

The full North Hollywood Project Area Committee will meet Tuesday to discuss issues concerning the 43-acre studio complex proposal submitted by a Santa Monica-based shopping center developer. The committee is an elected panel of 25 property owners, tenants, business owners and others that advises the city's Community Redevelopment Agency on budgets and projects.

A Community Redevelopment Agency administrator wrote to the City Council last week backing two agency project managers the North Hollywood Project Area Committee accused of wrongdoing and requested be removed from the agency. The letter by John Molloy was a show of support for Lillian Burkenheim-Silver and Walter Beaumont, the CRA representatives overseeing the North Hollywood Streetscape Plan, and maintains the managers' position that they did nothing wrong.

Members of the North Hollywood Project Area Committee have sent a letter to the city attorney's office asking for help in dealing with "offensive and totally uncooperative" practices by officials at the area's Community Redevelopment Agency. The complaints in the letter, sent to Deputy City Atty. Marcia Gonzalez Kimbro on June 30, stem from the cancellation of a June 23 joint meeting with the panel's arts, development and rehabilitation subcommittees.

A proposed 42-acre studio, office and storage development project has received a cool reception from some North Hollywood residents.

The North Hollywood Project Area Committee has submitted a request to the City Council asking for the removal and investigation of two of the Community Redevelopment Agency's project managers on the North Hollywood street-scape plan. The group alleges that the two managers, Lillian Burkenheim-Silver and Walter Beaumont, failed to keep a promise that the committee could help select a consultant to design street-scape improvements. Both managers deny the charges.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has agreed provide $1.8 million in grants and $14 million in loan guarantees to help finance the North Hollywood studio project, Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan said Tuesday. The money will be used to boost development on at least 16 acres between Vineland and Fair avenues in North Hollywood. Two developers are competing to build sound stages, restaurants, shops and housing on the site. HUD also agreed to provide about $10.
