"Land Use 101" Town Hall on Transit Oriented Communities (TOCs)
Whitley Heights is now a 'Transit Oriented Community' (TOC)
Find out what it means.
Find out why former Councilmember Ryu supported the law suit against TOCs.
Find out why he promised 'I will fight for you" when the city gave a Whitley Ave TOC a 70% density bonus in our 'Very High Fire Severity Zone' where only 35% is allowed for public safety....and all surrounding streets are targets for TOC development, being advertised as 'TOC Development Opportunities' and TOC developer offers are being made that can't be refused and WH is losing 100 year old and other Hollywood Heritage identified 'Historic Contributor' buildings, some RSO and affordable buildings, replaced with 'By Right' TOC projects with no Neighborhood Council or Community input.
Councilmember Ryu was working with a group of us to help protect the community from those kinds of dangerous TOC density bonuses, and to protect the Whitley and Franklin Ave. 'Historic Contributors' from demolition for TOCs.
Unfortunately he is gone.
Our 'Franklin Corridor Communities' (FCC) neighborhood group followed up with the new Councilmember to no avail.
