CRA Improvements to Sylmar

Duran Villegas, Community Redevelopment Agency Project Manager, East Valley Region, made a presentation about CRA projects in Sylmar at the March 2010 SNC meeting. He described the development process, including a home ownership assistance program.

The Sylmar Streetscape project covers San Fernando Road from Hubbard north to Polk. They will start the Phase One Truman St. and San Fernando Blvd. landscaped medians projects within the next 60-75 days. View the map and rendering of the medians. The project encompasses four small medians with shrubs, trees, and a “Welcome to Sylmar” sign.

The project will cost about $300,000 to complete and will be paid for by the CRA which is funded by property taxes from properties within the project area. Maintenance for the project will be covered by the Sylmar Business Improvement District, a program whereby local merchants agree to tax themselves to pay for specific improvements to their community.

Phase Two is still in the design phase and is expected to fix curbs and sidewalks and plant trees and medians. More information can be found at the CRA website.

SNC Considers North Hills Sepulveda VA

SNC heard a presentation at the October 2009 meeting regarding the VA facility in North Hills. A Community of Friends proposes to convert seven acres and two buildings into 147 units for veteran's housing. New Directions, an organization that provides comprehensive services to veterans in Los Angeles County, proposes to then operate the facilities.

There was discussion about whether this was the best way to serve the most veterans, the need for a hospital, the cost of the proposal, the age of the facilities, and the lease on the facilities. After much discussion, the SNC chose to take no position at this time. Read the minutes for more details.

Sylmar Community Plan

Summer 2008 the Los Angeles Department of City Planning hosted a public workshop where it revealed the first rough draft of the proposed new community plan. The changes being considered attempt to address many of the concerns and issues raised by the community, such as new residential development changing neighborhoods. A site has been set up to provide information that was presented at this workshop. You will find this site to be valuable and information such as copies of the considered changes and maps can be found on this site.

If any groups are interested in having a presentation done by the Sylmar New Community Plan Team, please contact Anita Cerna.
