After five years in the making…. the City Council voted unanimously today for the adoption of the Stonehurst HPOZ. We would like to thank Councilmember Greuel and all those who dedicated their time and expertise to the long process leading to today’s vote.
Residents from opposite sides of the argument took their turn to speak. After listening to each point of view, our neighborhood advocate, Mary B., pointed out that we all want the same thing…our neighborhood to remain unchanged. That is the essence behind the movement for the HPOZ…to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood. With that in mind I think it is clear that we all won a great victory today.

Congratulations neighbors.
On another note: For those of you who have voted…Thank You. And if you need more information, please leave a comment to which subject you would like explained further. Thank you for your interest.

The Next Step.
Well neighbors, we are nearing the end of the HPOZ implementation process. The Stonehurst HPOZ is on City Council's agenda next Tuesday, August 12th. The Council session begins at 10:00 a.m. in Room 340 in City Hall.
This is the link for the Council's agenda. The HPOZ consideration is item # 33 (approximately in the middle): http://lacity.org/clk/councilagendas/clkcouncilagendas354984_08122008.pdf
If we are voted in at that point, it leaves the most important step in our hands…The Preservation Plan. We can have a say in our community and what an exhilarating feeling that will give all of us! We need to work together and decide how we want the HPOZ to support our community. There are more details regarding this plan listed below under the Preservation Plan blog or go directly to the Office of Historic Resources. Please let us know your ideas and suggestions. http://www.preservation.lacity.org/hpoz/plan
