Issues We Care About
Traffic Safety
UHA was involved in the process and instrumental in shaping The View Park-Windsor Hills and Ladera Heights Community Traffic Safety Plan. Here is a link to this plan, which all residents should become familiar with and share their thoughts about Public Works Los Angeles County

WESTSIDE AREA PLAN
Regional Planning Commission
Public Hearing
Thanks to those who attended the Los Angeles County Regional Planning Commission Westside Area Plan (WSAP) public hearing on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. The Commission has approved the plan for referral to the board of supervisors for a vote with certain recommendations.
A presentation and overview of the Draft Westside Area Plan (WSAP) and Final Program Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was given, followed by public comment. The Regional Planning Commission then took a vote to approve the project.
We will update you soon on our next steps as the project is reviewed by the Board of Supervisors.
Overview and UHA Response
We have previously shared with members and others that the Westside Area Plan Draft PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT and the Draft Westside Area Plan (WSAP) Documents have been available for review and comment on the LA County website. Comment submission ended on August 16th.
The WSAPincludes several elements which will have a profound impact on the character of our community. Within View Park/Windsor Hills and View Heights, the County has proposed seven opportunity sites, five of these sites are proposed to be upzoned and could result in buildings as tall as 65 feet in our community without corresponding parking. It is extremely important that the community’s voices be heard on this matter. UHA has prepared an official response to the PEIR.

WE OPPOSED SB 9
UHA II opposed SB 9 because it will destroy historic single-family communities such as View Park, Windsor Hills, Leimert Park, Ladera Heights, the Crenshaw District, and Baldwin Hills by overriding local zoning law to allow speculators to build as many as 6 multifamily units on one single-family zoned parcel without any community input or oversight.

The View Condo
Project
UHA II members voted overwhelmingly in 2016 to oppose “The View” condo project, a dangerous and illegal 88-unit development proposed to be built on the vacant lot at 5101 Overhill Drive. Several hundred local residents attended a series of public hearings starting in August 2017 and culminating on March 6, 2018, to offer fact-based testimony on the many reasons why “The View” should not be approved.
Tell the county to analyze all environmental impacts of “The View”
