As a reminder, we DO NOT have a POC meeting scheduled in December. Therefore, there is NO POC meeting on Tuesday, December 8th.
Committee Co-Chairs Roger Sherman and Jim Favaro (as well as AIA/LA President-elect Paul Danna) are moving forward on the Alternative Project Delivery initiative and we will have a complete status update pertaining to their on-going efforts at our next POC meeting, which will be on Tuesday, January 12 (6pm).
In the meantime, I would like to canvass the Committee's perspective on a couple of emerging issues. Please let me know if, as a committee, you'd like for me to respond in any certain way (pro/con) with regards to the following pending matters at City Hall:
1. LA City Code Amendment - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) - As directed by State Regulations, City of LA Department of City Planning is currently developing policy with regards to ADU's and with your leadership and guidance we can help effect that policy (if so desired). This ordinance is in the early stages and, hence, the chance to help shape public policy.
2. Low Impact Development Ordinance - The Public Works Commission will be reviewing the proposed LID Ordinance on Friday, December 11. After this hearing, the ordinance will also be heard at the City of LA Energy and Environment Committee and at the Planning and Land Use Management Committee. If you have specific thoughts/reactions/ guidance on this proposed ordinance please share your thoughts with me ASAP. You can access the draft ordinance by CLICKING HERE.
3. Ideas for the theme and for the specific speakers for the 2010 AIA/LA Political Outreach Breakfast Series. If you'd like to work with me on this, kindly contact me with your ideas and suggestions so that we can draft a proposal for consideration by the AIA/LA Board's Public Outreach Portfolio leadership, which will be comprised of Board members Angie Brooks, Merry Norris, Roger Sherman, Carl Muhlstein and Deborah Weintraub. (I'm attaching a copy of the 2010 AIA/LA Organization Chart to help explain this programming hierarchy)
4. Lastly, if you are currently receiving this email, it's because I have you on the 2009 Committee Roster. If you are no longer interested, please let me know so I can remove you from the list when I create the official 2010 committee roster of membership/ interest.
Thank you.
Very truly yours,
Will Wright
