Report: Hate crimes rise to highest level in 19 years in LA County

By City News Service

Reported hate crimes in Los Angeles County rose to their highest level in 19 years in 2021, jumping 23% from the previous year, according to a report released Wednesday by the county Commission on Human Relations.

According to the report, there were 786 reported hate crimes in the county last year, up from 641 the prior year. The number is the highest it has been since 2002.

"The rise in hate crimes

across Los Angeles County is deeply distressing," Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn said in a state ment. "Our most vulnerable neighbors are facing enough challenges, and now have to worry about a greater risk of being attacked or harassed because of who they are. That is unacceptable."

The number of hate crimes targeting Asian resi dents rose to 77, the highest number in at least 20 years, according to the report. In roughly one-fourth of the

crimes targeting Asians, the victims were blamed for the COVID-19 pandemic.

The report also noted that 46% of racially based hate crimes targeted Black residents, although they only make up 9% of the overall population.

Crimes based on sexual orientation jumped by 15% year over year, with 85% of those crimes targeting gay men. There were 41 antitransgender crimes, with 93% of those offenses classi fied as violent crimes, a rate

exceeding those for racial, sexual-orientation and reli gious attacks.

Religion-based hate crimes jumped by 29%, with 74% of the offenses target ing Jews, according to the report.

Overall, the report noted that hate crimes have grown by 105% since falling to an all-time low in 2013.

"The year 2021 began with a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol, led in part by white nationalist groups," Robin Toma, the commis

sion's executive director, said in a statement. "The shocking revolt was evidence of not only growing political polarization, but a country deeply divided along lines of race, religion, sexual orien tation, and gender. Against this backdrop, hate crimes across the nation, including L.A. County, skyrocketed in 2021."

County officials acknowledged that some of the increase in hate crimes could be attributed to more robust reporting of such

crimes, aided by the LA vs Hate initiative encouraging victims to come forward and offering them support. But they also noted that hate crimes likely still go unre ported.

"The U.S. Justice Depart ment has reported that nearly half of all violent hate crimes are not reported to law enforcement," accord ing to the report. "We can expect that an even greater portion of hate incidents and nonviolent hate crimes are not reported."

As the community prepares to cele brate the season of giving, Home Instead encourages Monrovia resi dents to share the holiday spirit with seniors who may not have family and feel alone. Through Be a Santa to a Senior, commu nity members can give a special holiday gift to an older adult who may otherwise go without.

“A simple gift can bring such joy to older adults who may not have loved ones to celebrate with,” said Greg Sanchez, owner of the Monrovia Home Instead office. “Through ‘Be a Santa to a Senior,’ we can help them feel the

holiday spirit.” Program coordinators hope to collect gifts for 120 local older adults. This is the program’s second year in the area.

To participate, shoppers can look for “Be a Santa to a Senior” trees or displays at locations around the area. Ornaments featuring the name and desired gift of an older adult will be on display, and shoppers can buy the requested gift and return it unwrapped to the location with the ornament attached. Orna ments will be available through Dec. 16. The gifts will be delivered to local older adults in time for the holidays.

The trees can be found at the following locations:

-Monrovia Chamber of Commerce – 620 S. Myrtle Ave. in Monrovia

-Santa Anita Family YMCA – 501 S. Mountain Ave. in Monrovia

“This program is so much more than giftgiving – it's about the special moments and joy shared between the older adults and the commu nity around them,” said Sanchez. "There is nothing better than seeing the smile on an older adult’s face when they open their gift.”

Tips for a sustainable holiday season

By Nicole Johnson, Stacker

The holidays are filled with fantastic feasts, time with family and friends, and memo rable moments that last a lifetime. They are also the most trash-filled months of the year. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, household waste goes up more than 25% in the time between Thanks giving and New Year’s Day. Bins filled with shopping bags, leftover food, singleuse wrapping paper, and unwanted gifts add up to 1 million tons of waste per week to U.S. landfills.

There are several steps people can take toward sustainable consumption, though: buying gifts made of environmentally friendly materials and those that will last and won’t simply end up in landfill piles, regift ing, and giving second-hand or heirloom items go a long way toward reducing waste.

In the hopes of helping others have a more sustain able holiday season, Almond Cow compiled a list of ideas to celebrate the winter holidays with the planet in mind.

Find out what holiday habits and traditions can be revamped in the name of having an eco-friendly holiday season. Discover which method of transpor tation is the best for the environment. Learn why real trees are best when it comes to celebrating a sustainable holiday, and how renting a tree could become a new environmentally forward family tradition.

Tie up presents with reusable gift wrap

For the sake of sustain ability, it makes sense to phase out that one-life environmentally unfriendly gift wrap. Fabric is a popular reusable substitution and offers a variety of colors and patterns, and there is no paper waste. Recy clable gift wrap, which can be reused several times, is also an option if fabric isn’t your thing. There is no need for tape to wrap up presents, either. Twine and

biodegradable, compostable paper tape (made from pulp, wood fiber, or bark, and natural adhesives) are ecofriendly options. Paper tape comes in different patterns, and some rolls even feature sustainable glitter.

Take a train or drive to travel instead of flying

When it comes to travel, carbon dioxide is highest on a plane. A train cuts the amount of CO2 in half and is much more environmen tally friendly when it comes to holiday travel. According to Treehugger, the reason for this is simple: While the train emits a significant amount of carbon, it can also carry a significant amount of passengers, making per capita emissions much lower. Planes also emit tropo spheric ozone and produce vapor trails, which can have a real impact on climate. A recent study, published in Environmental Science & Technology, found that both driving a car passenger-less and flying on a plane that is at 80% occupancy have a similar impact on climate. If you plan to travel by car, carpool and take as many passengers as you can during that road trip.

Try a living Christmas tree

Millions of artificial trees are purchased in the U.S. each Christmas season, and according to The Nature Conservancy, 90% of these trees are manufactured overseas in China. Shipping them overseas creates an increase in carbon emissions. Not to mention that artificial trees are made of non-biode gradable plastics and often contain harmful chemicals like lead. Living Christmas trees are an eco-friendly option that, while single-use for each Christmas season, can be recycled. Real trees also smell great and help Christmas tree farms stay in business, which supports sustainable forestry. If chopping down a real tree isn’t your thing, consider renting a real Christmas tree that can be replanted at the end of the season. While real trees are a better alternative

to artificial ones, it is impor tant to note that many Christ mas tree farms use a mix of pesticides and herbicides to control pests and fungi.

Incorporate plantforward dishes into your holiday dinner

Adding plant-forward menu options to your holiday feast does not eliminate animal products, but instead focuses on making more plant-based foods, like fruit and vegetables. One 2019 study found 49.6% fewer greenhouse gas emissions were produced with a plantbased diet. Many plant-based holiday recipes are easy to find and simple to make.

Give charity donations as gifts

Donating to chari ties is a more sustainable choice than giving physical presents. Donating is also altruistic and makes people feel good about giving back. Charity donations don’t leave behind any waste, and they do not require a trip to the store using gas-guzzling cars. This sustainable gift choice can contribute even more to the planet if you give to a green organization that helps with environmental causes. These gifts can also be helpful come tax season as charitable donations are tax write-offs.

Light up your yard with

solar-powered, LED string

lights

A greener option than regular string lights, solarpowered lights do not require the use of standard electric ity. They do not produce emissions that pollute the environment such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. This eco-friendly lighting choice is also safer and more aesthetically pleasing because these lights do not require power cords. Solar-powered string lights use energy from the sun to operate and a few hours of sunshine in the afternoon will power lights all night, and they are a more afford able option than traditional holiday string lights in terms of saving on your electric bill. This sustainable holiday

choice is also available at major retailers and the purchase price is comparable to standard LED string lights.

Order early and avoid shipping rushes

Sure, expedient shipping is amazing, and sometimes with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it seems like a simple fix for managing time, but it comes with a steep environmental cost. While online shopping is more eco-friendly than retail shopping, when used for rush delivery, it essentially voids any environmental benefit. Rush shipments often go out without full loads, which increases harmful emissions. Ordering early allows more time for shipping. Preplan ning and not waiting until the last minute when doing holiday shopping are helpful.

Choose quality gifts over quantity

Panic buying is a big reason why people purchase too much, choosing quantity over quality, and this year it may seem especially enticing to buy fast and furious given the supply chain issues. A little preplanning and early shopping can help combat holiday panic buying and help the

environment since buying too much is generally bad for the environment.

Purchasing tchotchkes that get tossed or singleuse presents adds to waste that ends up in landfills. If you do wind up purchasing unwanted gifts, there are better and more sustainable options than simply tossing them. Donating, regifting with purpose, or recycling are all great options. Quality eco-friendly gift ideas include plants, an experi ence like rock climbing, handmade gifts, a gift certif icate to a local restaurant, or even passing along a favorite item that means something to you.

DIY holiday cards (or go without)

While often made from paper, many greeting cards cannot be recycled. The inks and dyes they use to create colors may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs have a signifi cant and lasting impact on the environment and on human health. Most of the millions of greeting cards purchased each year are given out during the holidays and create a significant amount of waste. Thinking

of an e-card? A single email requires a surprising amount of electricity and produces roughly 4 grams of CO2. A more sustainable option is to make greeting cards by hand using recyclable or biodegradable materials or simply go without. Digital holiday cards are another earth-friendly option.

Go for a natural wreath

Just as purchasing a real tree instead of an artificial one is a more sustainable choice, so too is buying a natural wreath than a fake one. Natural wreaths not only smell better but can be recycled at the end of the season. You can also compost real wreaths after the holidays. Making a real wreath can also be a fun way to bond with family, and going on a nature hike or walk to find natural materi als to create your holiday wreath is a simple way to get a bit more oxygen and sunshine.

Monrovia Old Town report: Is Christmas spirit canceled?

By Shawn Spencer shawn@girlfridaysolutions.net

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Well, I’m going to try. Do you remember reading the news paper years ago? Specifically, the Miss Manners column? It’s where one could go with a social dilemma and ask the queen of proper etiquette for her advice and opinion. The 2020s could sure use a dose of Miss Manners.

We are all a little guilty of forgetting our manners from time to time. There are lazy manners and then there are those of us that lose our “give a sh*t” filters as we get older. It’s a fine line of distinction, for sure, but I think there is a difference between entitled people who just behave rudely and someone that is old enough to lose their filters.

As we age, we aren’t neces sarily losing our minds (as I knock on wood). We just care less about what people think about us. We have passed that stage of life and we are secure and happy with the quantity and quality of people that we have allowed to live in our happy bubble of life.

So, now I’m going to talk about some of you. I’m going to sweeten it up a bit and

give you the benefit of the doubt. Just because you’re behaving like a cotton-headed ninny muggins doesn’t mean you’re entitled and rude. I am, however, super disappointed in all the people I see and hear complaining about Santa and his tour across Monrovia this week. “He drove by so fast,” “Santa didn’t throw any candy canes,” “There were no sirens,” “All I heard was music” and “The sleigh was empty!”

The City of Monrovia goes to great lengths to bring this to our community every year. The planning that goes into this is huge. You must plot out a course to cover not only Monrovia proper, but also the unincorporated areas of Monrovia, which technically doesn’t fall under the jurisdic tion of our city staff. They’re just cool as heck and not Grinchy.

Instead of being home after a long day of work, what do they do? Drive around and bring us CHRISTMAS MAGIC! Or HOLIDAY GOLD! They sent us the schedule weeks ago. They have a Santa tracker. They literally can do nothing more at this point, aside from carry us outside

to the curb. So, go! Grab your kiddos and your elderly. Make some cocoa and stand on your sidewalk until Santa drives by and waves to you. Wave back!

Cheer! Say whatever holiday phrase that resonates with you. Remember those candy canes that Santa threw out? They broke when they hit the ground and were PERFECT as a hot cocoa accouterment. Alas, they stopped throwing them out due to all of the complaints they received.

Son of a Nutcracker! Just say THANK YOU! Appreci ate the gift, and the effort. Appreciate the thought. Drive through Arcadia or Sierra Madre. I guarantee you that they aren’t bringing the magic like Monrovia is. Our

elves are extra special and maybe they deserve better than they have been getting. You guys are a tough crowd! Don’t you ever stop to think they might be on the same social media as you? Reading your comments that belong in the South Pole and NOT in Monrovia.

What would Miss Manners do? She would say, “Dear Gentle Reader, unpleasant behavior is no way to act any time of year, but especially not during the holiday season. A simple thank you goes a long way when someone goes out of their way to be pleasant or does something kind for you.” Be like Miss Manners more often.

When the North defeated the South and deprived slave owners of their “property,” they only wanted Negroes out of sight. Thus, govern ment and private forces such as city planners, elected officials, mortgage lenders and real estate brokers, conspired to keep African Americans “in their place” — which meant living in ghettos and in poverty.

In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson gave a speech that included these words: “Negro poverty is not White poverty…These differences are not racial differences. They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality, past injustice and present prejudice.”

Three years later, the Fair Housing Act was passed which prohibited discrimination in housing… but did little to dismantle the entrenched housing segregation that state governments and private enterprises had created.

As a result, Black students who yearn for

higher education and borrow money to fulfill their dreams, fall into a nightmarish financial vortex that prevents them from owning a home. Even if they find work that pays well after graduation, they need to borrow money to repay their student loan… and then continue borrow ing money to make ends meet.

Whites, on the other hand, are less likely to experience such economic hardship because, by reason of arbitrary economic advantages to Whites, their families have gathered wealth over several genera tions which they can use to make a down payment on a house.

Sure, our schools teach that our historical legacy of racial oppression has gone with the wind. But in reality, it’s still only a work in progress.

The Blacks’ Civil Rights anthem makes my heart soar with the words, “We shall overcome.” But when, oh when, will we hear their voices singing, “Hallelujah! We have overcome”?

Pasadena Fire Department announces ‘Paramedic Subscription Program’

By Staff

The Pasadena Fire Department has announced the imple mentation of the Pasadena Paramedic Subscription Program. For just $85 per year (less than $7 per month), this voluntary program provides coverage for fees associated with any paramedic services or emergency transporta tion provided. The fee covers the subscriber and all other members of their household related by blood, marriage or adoption.

The charge for an ambu lance transport can be as

high as $3,000. Even with medical insurance, copays and deductibles can range between $50 to $500 for transport. When paramedics are needed, cost should not be a concern.

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer this cost-savings program to community members,” said EMS Battal ion Chief Jason Hansen. With the rising cost of everything these days, this is an amazing deal for partici pants—especially since it covers all members of your household.”

Membership in the Para medic Subscription Program provides unlimited use of the Pasadena Fire Depart ment’s emergency medical system. Every dollar received through the program is used to enhance emergency medical services to the community and to improve the local paramedic system.

Visit the Pasadena Fire Department website for more information about the Para medic Subscription Program, including how to enroll and answers to frequently asked questions.

Roundup: LA City Council votes this week before winter recess

By City News Service

The Los Angeles City Council had busy agendas Tuesday and Wednesday, as it met for the final full week ahead of its winter recess.

On Tuesday, the council considered a ban on Styro foam products, a permit program for outdoor dining, protections for freelance workers, a reorganization of the process of conduct ing zoning and land use entitlements and allowing a controversial shift from natural gas to green hydrogen at the Scattergood Generating Station to move forward.

On Wednesday, the agenda included consid eration of requiring new buildings to be all-electric, streamlining 100% afford able housing projects and moving forward with the process of establishing the Livable Communities Initia tive along suitable transitrich corridors.

The council will meet Friday, and then again on Dec. 13 before a recess that is scheduled to last around a month. Council President

Paul Krekorian moved to push back the recess by around a week, which allows for the four new council members to take part in one meeting ahead of the break after being sworn in. The new council is scheduled to hold an election for council president during its first meeting, though no member has indicated interest in challenging Krekorian.

Krekorian just took the post in October after Nury Martinez stepped down for taking part in the leaked racist conversation that led to the City Hall racism scandal. Council men Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, who also partici pated in the conversa tion, have defied calls to resign. Cedillo is in his final days on the council and will be replaced by Eunisses Hernandez next week, but de León -- whose term expires in 2024 -- has shown no indication of stepping down.

De León's refusal to resign is expected to linger over the council as new members join the body.

While neither Cedillo nor de León have attended a council meeting since Oct. 11, protesters have regu larly shown up to disrupt meetings to demand that they both resign.

The council, while initially showing some deference to protesters, has resolved to continue its business over the protests. Krekorian has been quick to enact council rules regarding disrup tive audience members, moving to eject protesters who chant and shout as the meetings begin.

LA Council votes to move forward on hydrogen power station

By ERIC HE

The Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to move forward with a controversial plan to shift the Scattergood Gener ating Station, a power plant in Playa del Rey, to be powered by green hydrogen instead of natural gas.

The council voted 8-3 to approve a competitive bid proposal process for

the estimated $800 million plan, over the objections of some environmental groups concerned about the impact of green hydrogen on the climate and lack of transparency from officials. The ordi nance still needs a second vote for approval next week — when five new council members will have taken their seats. Two of the members who voted in favor and two who voted against it will be off the council by then.

The council’s vote came after a 2-1 approval by its energy committee. Council members Paul Koretz, Nithya Raman and Mike Bonin voted against the proposed ordinance, which authorizes the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to award a contract for the project.

Council President Paul Krekorian called the plan necessary for Los Angeles to meet its goal of achiev ing 100% clean energy by 2035.

“The easiest thing to do is to say, ‘Climate change

is a crisis,'” Krekorian said at a committee meeting last week. “It’s a lot harder to figure out: How do we address climate change in a city of four million people and ensure that we can keep the lights on?”

Without a significant generating resource at Scattergood, the city would see energy reli ability issues, according to Krekorian, who added that the council was voting on just the procurement process.

“This is barely the first step on the beginning of a potential journey toward green hydrogen at Scat tergood,” Krekorian said, adding that the council will be engaged in answer ing questions ahead of full approval.

According to a reso lution approved by the Board of Water and Power Commissioners in August, the shift to green hydrogen would help the department reach its goal of transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2035.

But environmental

groups have pushed back. According to Food & Water Watch, hydrogen still produces emissions that can threaten the climate, would require more than 122 million gallons of water to power the plant and cost more than solar, wind or battery storage.

Jasmin Vargas, senior policy advisor at Food & Water Watch, called the process of the ordinance passing “perpetuating institutional racism,” with the end result dispropor tionately impacting Black and Brown communities. She wanted an alternative energy source that doesn’t combust hydrogen, and to shut down LADWP’s four plants in the Los Angeles Basin.

“You have no idea what you’re doing today,” Vargas told the council. “Having a gas plant, whether it’s hydrogen or natural gas, is still environmental racism.”

Several members of Pacoima Beautiful, an envi

ronmental justice orga nization, also expressed concern to the council about lack of discussion over potential health and economic impacts.

“Our communities can’t afford these false solu tions,” said Annakaren Ramirez, the organiza tion’s policy director. “We still don’t know where the water to produce hydrogen will be stored, where it will be made, any of the leak detection. We really just urge more time for these answers.”

Bonin, an outgoing council member who represents the Westside and will be replaced by Traci Park next week, submitted a letter to the energy committee echoing concerns about the project and vocalized his opposi tion Tuesday. He said the communities impacted by the project won’t be the “wealthy communi ties of the Westside,” but instead the communities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lawndale, Lennox and Gardena.

In the letter, Bonin stated that the full envi ronmental impact of green hydrogen is unclear because it requires raw energy materials.

Bonin said hydrogen projects are being propped up by oil and gas companies, which may be hoping to blend hydrogen into their operations. He proposed narrowing the definition of green hydrogen to exclude hydrogen blending and combustions, and requiring all bidders for the contrac tor to detail environmental justice impacts.

During Tuesday’s meeting, Bonin projected that the $800 million price tag would shoot up to $1 billion — money he said might be better spent on other resources. He also said the project would require an excessive amount of water.

“We’re in the middle of a drought,” Bonin

said. “Where the hell are we getting hundreds of millions of dollars in fresh water?”

Jason Rondou, the LADWP’s director of resource planning, devel opment and programs, said the Scattergood project is a means to creating a neces sary renewable energy source for the city.

Rondou said the $800 million cost “appears significant,” but is just one of several projects working toward a renew able energy future. Scat tergood is projected to account for less than 1% of Los Angeles’ energy portfolio by 2030, and the reduction in utilization will subsequently offset or even reduce water usage, according to Rondou.

But the 1% is impor tant because “if we have wildfires, if we have earth quakes, it is that less than 1% that will keep the grid reliable and stable so that we can continue to charge our electric vehicles, and we can continue to power our homes and business es — which will be fully electrified in the future,” Rondou said.

Koretz, another outgoing council member, said during last week’s committee meeting that lobbyists from SoCalGas “looked me in the eye and told me they intended to use hydrogen to keep the methane flowing for as long as possible,” noting his distrust for the utilities company.

“I do think we need to make the hard decision and the hard choices and do the work, but I’m just not there yet on this one,” Koretz said.

Marcelo DiPaolo, power engineering manager for LADWP, told the commit tee that hydrogen burns at lower temperatures, which reduces emissions.

One stakeholder backing the project was Matt Dickinson, sustain ability director for Fenix Marine Services. Dick inson told the council

LA council

that the company, which operates at the Port of Los Angeles, is developing two hydrogen- powered cargo handlers.

“They are perform ing well and we expect to expand that fleet,” Dick inson said. “We cannot do it meaningfully if we do not have a supply of green hydrogen available to use.”

In explaining the LADWP’s perspective of the plan, Rondou said there are “several remain ing questions that need to be answered.”

“Some of them we know today,” Rondou said. “Some, we don’t know and we’ll find out over the coming decade.”

LA City Council votes to ban sale, distribution of styrofoam products

By ERIC HE

The Los Angeles City Council voted to ban the sale or distribution of Styrofoam products Tuesday.

The ordinance prohibits the sale and distribution of expanded polystyrene products — commonly referred to as Styrofoam — for businesses with more than 26 employees begin ning in April 2023, and for smaller businesses in April 2024.

“Today, the second largest city in the nation will send a clear message that expanded polystyrene has no place in our city’s future,” Councilman Mitch O’Farrell said at a briefing before Tuesday’s meeting.

Los Angeles joins more than 150 other cities that have similar ordinances in place, and advocates believe it can set an example for more cities to follow suit.

“L.A. can lead the pack,” said Craig Cadwallader, policy coordinator with Surfrider South Bay. “What happens in L.A. doesn’t stay in L.A. It’s seen world wide. So this is a really big deal, and makes a big difference not just here in Los Angeles, but beyond — perhaps in other countries as well.”

Styrofoam products are not biodegradable or economically recyclable, and their main component, styrene, has been classified as a possible human carcin ogen, according to the ordi nance. Chemicals can also leach into food stored in Styrofoam containers, and such products could end up in open spaces, rivers and oceans, the ordinance said.

“Plastic has its place, but using a material that was designed to last forever in something that is used only once — often for just moments — does not make any sense,” said Emily Parker, a coastal and marine scientist at Heal the Bay.

Council President Paul Krekorian accused the petrochemical industry of “lying to the people of the United States by trying to convince them that somehow it’s OK to use these products because they’re recyclable.”

“It’s not,” Krekorian said. “Stop using these products. That’s the solution. Stop using them in the first place.”

Councilman Paul Koretz, pointing to a Styrofoam cup at the podium with a chasing symbol on the back, said that the symbol implies the cup is recyclable.

“But it’s not,” Koretz said. “It will never happen. This cup will never be recycled. It is chasing into a landfill. It’s being chased into an ocean. It’s being chased into rivers. But this will never be chased into a recycling plant.”

The ordinance allows for certain exceptions, includ ing the sale of surfboards or coolers that are made “wholly encapsulated” or encased in durable material, craft supplies, packaging for drugs, medical devices or biological materials, safety devices such as car seats and life jackets and products pre-packaged outside the city.

Health facilities and residential care facilities are also exempt from the ordinance.

Victor Reyes, legisla

tive affairs manager with the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, told the council that the city should instead defer to a state bill passed earlier this year that aims for a major reduction of plastics use — though Senate Bill 54 does not ban polystyrene outright.

“This new law should be given time to work before local government adopts separate packaging requirements,” Reyes said. “A statewide uniform set of rules can help drive system efficiency and ensure mate rials are available that are best suited and cost-effec tive for specific uses and customers.”

Reyes said the organi zation supports policies that “expand recycling programs, reduce waste and create new markets for recovered materials. We believe that these objec tives are better achieved under the system estab lished by SB 54.”

Officials would be authorized to investigate possible violations, though the ordinance does not note fines as a penalty. The council voted to prepare an outreach program to educate customers and businesses about the ordi nance.

The council also voted for an ordinance requiring shops to offer or provide reusable bags to customers, in an effort to promote the use of reusable bags.

“The future is not plastics anymore,” O’Farrell said. “Not in Los Angeles, and hopefully not anywhere else in the United States, much less the rest of the world. We’ve lived with plastic waste now for 60 years, and it’s time to stop the outflow of this terrible pollution that is fouling our waterways, fouling the Pacific Ocean, choking marine life and degrading our environment every where we look.”

LA City Councilwoman Seeks Amnesty Program for Unpermitted ADUs City Councilwoman

Monica Rodriguez is seeking to create an amnesty program for legal izing unpermitted acces sory dwelling units (ADUs) in Los Angeles, according to a motion filed Tuesday.

Citing the need to remove barriers and create more affordable housing in Los Angeles, Rodriguez's motion said that the city's current requirement for an unpermitted structure to first be permitted before being converted into an ADU "may deter many property owners from pursuing legalization."

"In other words, a garage illegally converted into a residential unit must be first be fully permitted as, and returned to, a garage before the applicant can then apply to legalize and convert their unit into an ADU," the motion states.

That process can be costly, time consuming and might not affect the safety of the final permitted ADU, according to Rodriguez.

"What I'm proposing that we do is cut the red tape in order to make it easier for residents to come forward and convert an unpermitted unit into a legal ADU, bringing it up to code for the health and safety of its inhabitants," Rodriguez said in a state ment. "In turn, an afford able housing requirement would be placed on their legal ADUs, which would ensure that Angelenos have access to more afford able rents. It's a win-win."

The motion, seconded by Councilman Bob Blumenfield, sought to waive the requirement of a certificate of occupancy "as the basis for ADU conver sion and instead only require permit issuance."

Over 25,000 ADUs have been permitted in Los Angeles since 2017, and the number of permits issued more than doubled from 2017 to 2021, according to Crosstown LA, a nonprofit news organization based at the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.

Where millennials are moving

By Stephanie Horan for Stacker, SmartAsset

Millenniasare increasingly putting down roots whether that is through buying a home, getting involved in their community or working with a local finan cial advisor to plan for the future. While less than 4% of millennials moved between states in 2021, new Census Bureau data shows that some cities in particular experi enced significant increases and decreases in their millen nial populations last year. In this study, SmartAs set analyzed the cities where millennials are moving and leaving using the most recent Census Bureau data from 2021. We compared the number of people between the ages of 25 and 39 who moved into a city from a different state to the number of people who moved out of a city to a different state. For more information on our data and how we put it together, read our Data and Methodology section below.

Key Findings

Florida and Texas are becoming millennial hotspots. Four of the top 10 cities where millennials are moving are in the Lone Star and Sunshine States. The cities include Austin and Dallas in Texas and Jacksonville and Tampa in Florida.

Seattle drops signifi cantly in our rankings. Last year, Seattle was the secondranking city where millenni als were moving, with a net migration of almost 6,200. This year, there was a negative

net migration of an estimated -670 millennials.

New York City lost more than six times as many millennials as any other place. In 2021, there was a net migration of almost -79,800 millennials out of the Big Apple. Chicago is the next city where millennials are leaving at the highest rate, but its net migration clocks in at about -13,300.

1. Austin, TX

Austin, Texas took the top spot this year, moving up from its fourth-placed ranking in last year's edition of this study. In 2021, close to 24,000 millennials moved to Austin from a different state. With about 13,400 millenni als moving out of Austin to a different state, there was a net migration of about 10,500.

2. Denver, CO

Millennials have flocked to Denver, Colorado in recent years. In 2019, there was a net migration of more than 10,900 millennials to the city, accord ing to our findings. Though falling slightly in 2021, the net migration number still ranks as second-highest in our study, at 9,216.

3. Dallas, TX

The second Texas city in our top five, Dallas had a net migration of 6,339 millenni als in 2021. Census Bureau data shows that 15,217 indi viduals between the ages of 25 and 39 moved into the city from a different state while 8,878 individuals within that same age bracket moved out of the city.

4. Raleigh, NC

The millennial population in Raleigh, North Carolina grew by more than 3% in 2021. This was a product of a net migration of more than 3,900 millennials to the city.

5. Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville, Florida rounds out our list of the top five cities where millennials are moving with a net migra tion of 3,921 individuals between the ages of 25 and 39 in 2021.

Some of the biggest cities in the U.S. see most millenni als moving out

1. New York, NY

America's largest city— New York City—ranks as the top city where millennials are leaving. In 2021, about 55,400 millennials moved to the city while more than 135,100 young people left.

2. Chicago, IL

In 2021, about 23,200 millennials moved to Chicago from a different state while roughly 36,500 millennials moved out of the city to a different state. In total, there was a net migration of almost -13,300 millennials out of the city.

3. Washington, DC

The nation's capital is the third-ranking city where millennials are leaving. Census Bureau data shows that last year, 21,776 millen nials came to the city while an estimated 31,626 left the District of Columbia and moved elsewhere.

4. Boston, MA

There was a net migra tion of -6,702 millennials out of Boston, Massachusetts in

2021. Specifically, Census Bureau data shows that 12,471 individuals between the ages of 25 and 39 moved into the city from a different state while 19,173 individuals within that same age bracket moved out of the city.

5. Los Angeles, CA

Some of the more than -6,500 millennials who moved out of Los Angeles, California may be saving on housing costs. In our 2022 study, Los Angeles ranked as the city with the second-highest number of hours worked needed to pay rent, surpassed by only San Jose.

Data and methodology

To find both the cities where millennials are moving and leaving, SmartAs set analyzed data from the Census Bureau's 2021 1-Year American Community Survey.

We considered 152 of the largest cities in the U.S. for which data was available. We found net migration during 2021 in each city by subtract ing the number of people between the ages of 25 and 39 who moved out of the city to a different state from the number of people in the same age group who moved into the city from a different state. Cities were ranked by net migration.

City clerk approves recall petition against LA Councilman de León

By City News Service

Arecall petition against embattled City Councilman Kevin de León was approved by the Los Angeles City Clerk Tuesday, allowing organizers to begin collecting signatures.

Organizers must collect 20,437 signatures from registered voters of the 14th District by March 31, accord ing to the city clerk’s office.

An intent to recall de León was filed in October by five residents of the 14th District, including Pauline Adkins, who led two prior unsuccessful recall attempts of de León.

De León, along with Coun cilman Gil Cedillo, has defied fierce and widespread calls to resign for taking part in a recorded 2021 conversation that involved racist comments and attempts to manipulate the redistricting process.

Under the statement of reasons in the notice of intent, the organizers cited de León’s refusal to resign over the scandal.

“Even though the City Council has called for his resignation, and have stripped him of his committee assign ments, Kevin de León has refused to resign,” the state ment reads. “He currently cannot represent the stake holders of Council District 14.”

Pete Brown, de León’s communications director, said in a statement in October that the recall effort distorts de León’s record and “will not distract the council member or his office from continu ing to serve the people of

Council District 14. He will keep moving forward impor tant projects and issues that threaten the communities and the lives of his constitu ents.”

Cedillo cannot be recalled because there is not enough time before his term expires next week. He lost his reelec tion bid in the June primary.

De León’s term runs until December 2024. He has not attended a council meeting since Oct. 11.

Adkins, in an inter view with CNS in October, claimed the amount of support she is receiving for her third recall bid is “night and day” compared to her previous two attempts given the uproar over the racism scandal. Adkins said she is “one thousand percent confident” that she will be able to gather the signatures

“That’s the vibe we’re getting is that there’s going to be a lot of constituents,” Adkins said. “They’re very, very upset. I’m just over whelmed by the participa tion of CD 14 in this early stages of the recall.”

Joshua Spivak, a recall expert and senior research fellow at UC Berkeley Law School’s California Constitu tion Center, told CNS previ ously that “the number one, and really the only thing, is getting those signatures.”

“That’s the key. If you get enough signatures, if you get to the ballot, there’s a very good chance of success,” Spivak said.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL MONTE, CALIFORNIA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOL LOWS:

SECTION 1. The recitals above are true and correct and incor porated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. California Environment Quality Act: In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, an Initial Study (IS) was prepared to assess the short-term, long-term, and cumulative environmental impacts that could result from Anticipated Development, including the Proposed Development, and identify any mitigation measures to reduce environmental impacts to less than significant levels. The proposed project analyzed in the IS includes the proposed GPA, ZC, SP, CA, and TTM on the Subject Property; development of resi dential, non-residential mixed-use, and County-related uses on the Subject Property; and the DA for the residential and non-residential mixed-use development on the Development Site. Based on the analysis in the IS, the City determined that the Anticipated Develop ment, including the Proposed Development, would have less-thansignificant environmental impacts on the environment with imple mentation of mitigation measures. Therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) has been prepared. Environmental topic areas with potentially significant impacts that would be reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures include biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, transportation, and tribal cultural resources. The IS/MND and supporting documentation were available for public review from August 23, 2022 to September 15, 2022. No oral comments pertaining to the IS/MND were received at the community meeting held on September 10, 2022 or at the Plan ning Commission Study Session held on September 13, 2022. Four (4)written comments were received on the environmental docu ment.

SECTION 3. NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT:

In accordance with the requirements of the National Environmen tal Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970, as amended, an Environmental As sessment (EA) was prepared to assess the potential environmental impacts, the conditions that would change, and the effects on the human environment as a result of the Anticipated Development, in cluding the Proposed Development. The proposed project analyzed in the EA includes the proposed GPA, ZC, SP, CA, and TTM on the Subject Property; development of residential, non-residential mixeduse, and County-related uses on the Subject Property; and the DA for the residential and non-residential mixed-use development on the Development Site. Based on the analysis in the EA, the City de termined that the Anticipated Development, including the Proposed Development, is not an action that would result in a significant im pact on the quality of the human environment and makes a Find ing of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The EA and the associated Environmental Review Record were available for public review from October 13, 2022 to October 31, 2022. The City Manager will certify to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that the City accepts jurisdiction in federal courts if an action is brought in relation to the federal environmental review process and that federal environmental review requirements have been satisfied.

SECTION 4. Findings for Zone Change No. 05-22 and Code Amendment No. 802: All necessary findings to approve the Zone Change and Code Amendment (“Zoning Amendments”) to Title 17 (Zoning Code) pursuant to EMMC Chapter 17.128 can be made in a positive manner and are as follows:

A. The Zoning Amendments will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the City.

Finding of Fact:

The

Municipal Code to include the Esperanza Village Specific Plan and the Zone Change will change the Zoning map from Public Facilities to SP-5. The Code Amendment and Zone Change will allow for a mix of residential units, community-serving facilities, community park, and Los Angeles County-related offices and facilities on the Sub ject Property. The community-serving facilities will serve the residents of the Subject Property and the surrounding neighborhood, which will limit the amount of vehicle miles residents would have to take to access these facilities and, thereby, reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. The Specific Plan will require loading areas to be located a minimum of 70 feet from a public street or residential zoning district. Exterior trash enclosures are required to be located approximately 50 feet from the nearest resi dential property.

The Specific Plan includes development standards that are intended to create a harmonious relationship between the uses on the Subject Property and the surrounding resi dential neighborhood to protect the health, safety and wel fare of land uses in the Specific Plan area and its immedi ate surroundings. The Specific Plan does not permit any uses or activities that would involve the use or discharge of unregulated hazardous materials and waste. The Spe cific Plan restricts the use of reflective building materials; requires exterior lighting to be shielded, equipped, and ori ented in a manner to prevent glare or direct illumination on public streets and residential properties; requires lighting to have even levels of illumination; and requires develop ment to be designed so that all movement involving park ing, turning, or loading occurs on-site. The Specific Plan design guidelines encourage Anticipated Development on the Subject Property to be designed to be compatible with and complement adjacent uses while maintaining, enhancing, and complementing the character of the de velopment. The design guidelines also recommend that Anticipated Development on the Subject Property incor porate appropriate Crime Prevention Through Environ mental Design features in the design of spaces as terri torial reinforcement, strategic natural surveillance, well-lit spaces, and appropriate maintenance.

Potential impacts were evaluated in the IS/MND and the IS/MND found that environmental impacts would be less than significant with incorporation of mitigation measures for Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geol ogy and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, Transportation, and Tribal Cultural Resources. All other environmental topic areas would have either no impact or less-than-significant impacts. Therefore, the Zone Change and Code Amendment will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the City.

B.The subject property proposed for the Zoning Amend ments is physically suitable (including absence of physi cal constraints, access, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and provision of utilities) for the requested/antici pated land uses/developments.

Finding of Fact:

The Subject Property is physically suitable for Anticipated Development. The Subject Property does not have any physical constraints. It is relatively flat and is bounded by Gilman Road to the east, Kerrwood Street to the north, Durfee Avenue to the west, and residential properties to the south. The Subject Property is accessible to pedes trians and vehicular traffic via the three adjacent streets (Gilman Road, Kerrwood Street, and Durfee Avenue). An ticipated Development on the Subject Property will have driveway entrances on Gilman Road, Durfee Avenue, and Kerrwood Street. Sidewalks are and will continue to be located along Gilman Road, Kerrwood Street, and Durfee Avenue.

The Specific Plan permits uses on the Subject Prop erty that are compatible with and serve the surrounding neighborhood. The Specific Plan also includes design guidelines to ensure Anticipated Development on the Subject Property is designed to be compatible with the surrounding uses. These design guidelines include having structures incorporate elements that complement the sur rounding neighborhood and provide variations in wall and roof planes to break up massing of the buildings.

The Code Amendment and Zone Change would permit affordable multiple-family residential hous ing units and a community park in the Specific Plan area, which allow residents direct access to the park. The com munity park would provide active recreational uses. The County-related parcel would have a surface parking lot that allows for joint-use parking with the community park. This parking lot would also include a pick-up/drop-off area for users of the park. These elements would allow future residents on the Subject Property and existing residents in the surrounding neighborhood to have access to rec reational areas. Existing bicycle lanes on Durfee Avenue and Ramona Boulevard allows future residents on the Subject Property to connect to the San Gabriel River Trail by bicycling.

•Policy PR-2.8: Access to Recreational Facilities. Enhance options for residents to access community centers and other recreational facilities through transit, safe routes, bicycle routes, and walking paths.

Consistent. See Policy PR-2.1, above.

•Goal PR-5: A comprehensive system of walking, hiking, biking, and equestrian paths and trails that are accessible, safe, and connect to homes, residences, parks, and other community destinations.

Consistent. See Policy PR-2.1, above.

Circulation Element

•Policy C-2.2: Roadway Performance Standards. The City desires to maintain a level of service (LOS) D throughout the City, except that LOS E may occur in the following circumstances:

oIntersections/roadways at, or adjacent to, freeway ramps

o Intersections/roadways on major corridors and transit routes

oIntersections/roadways on truck routes

o Intersections/roadways in or adjacent to commercial dis tricts

o These standards may require, but are not intended to

mandate, roadway and/or intersection widening. They are a policy goal and shall be used to monitor traffic conditions to assess the impacts of new development. As LOS stan dards apply only to vehicles and do not account for walk ability or other modes, they shall not be the sole criteria for judging transportation system performance. Pedestrian walkability and convenience, livability, transit access, op erability, and aesthetics shall also be performance criteria.

Consistent. The traffic impact analysis showed that An ticipated Development associated with the Specific Plan would maintain an LOS of A or B at three (3) of the four (4) analyzed intersections during “Existing with Project” and “Future with Project” conditions. LOS at Durfee Avenue/ Ramona Boulevard intersection, however, would worsen from LOS D under “Existing” conditions to LOS E under “Existing with Project” conditions. This intersection would worsen from LOS E under “Future without Project” con ditions to LOS F under “Future with Project” conditions. Durfee Avenue and Ramona Boulevard are major corri dors with transit routes. The increased delay is at the stopsign controlled approach of Durfee Avenue at this location. According to the traffic impact analysis, Anticipated Devel opment would not cause the traffic signal warrant to be met and a fair-share financial contribution by the proposed project toward future signalization of the intersection is recommended. Anticipated Development would contrib ute to the fair-share financial contribution. Additionally, the Specific Plan includes elements that would enhance the walkability of the neighborhood by incorporating street trees and landscaping along the parkways. Proposed De velopment would include traffic calming measures along Durfee Avenue and Gilman Road.

• Policy C-2.5: Context-Sensitive Street Standards. Design and operate streets and intersections to be sensitive to adjacent land uses and districts and to all roadway users, including transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, where appro priate.

Consistent. Proposed Development associated with the Code Amendment and Zone Change would include traffic calming measures along Gilman Road and/or Durfee Ave nue. An enhanced pedestrian crossing would be installed on Gilman Road at Twin Lakes Elementary School.

•Policy C-3.2: Traffic Flow Management. Manage traffic flow on roadways for appropriate vehicle speeds, calm traffic in the City, and protect neighborhoods from traffic intrusion. Apply appropriate techniques to control the vol ume and speed of traffic consistent with land use policy, sensitive uses, and other concerns.

Consistent. Proposed Development associated with the Code Amendment and Zone Change would provide traf fic calming measures along Durfee Avenue and Gilman Road.

• Goal C-5: A connected, balanced, and integrated system of walking, biking, and equestrian paths and trails that is accessible and safe and connect to homes, residences, parks, and other community destinations.

Consistent. The Specific Plan include elements that would enhance the walkability of the neighborhood by incorpo rating street trees and landscaping along the parkways. Existing Class II bike lanes are located along Durfee Av enue, adjacent to the Specific Plan area.

• Policy C-6.4: Parking Supply. Require residential, com mercial, industrial, and other land uses in the community to provide adequate on-site parking for their respective uses; allow for joint-use parking provided the parking needs of individual uses are satisfied.

Consistent. The Code Amendment and Zone Change in clude parking requirements to ensure that sufficient park ing spaces would be provided for Anticipated Develop ment in the Specific Plan area. The County-related parcel would have joint-use parking that would be shared by the County-related uses and the community park.

•Policy C-6.6: Project Mitigation. Require appropriate miti gation measures to be implemented by projects that have a significant or potentially significant impact on the trans portation network.

Consistent. The traffic impact analysis for Anticipated Development associated with the Specific Plan does not identify any significant or potentially significant impacts on vehicle miles traveled (VMT). LOS at the Durfee Avenue/ Ramona Boulevard intersection would worsen from LOS D under “Existing” conditions to E under “Existing with Project” conditions, and from LOS E under “Future without Project” conditions to F under “Future with Project” condi tions. The delay would occur at the stop-sign controlled approach of Durfee Avenue. However, the traffic impact analysis determined that Anticipated Development asso ciated with the Specific Plan would not cause the traffic signal warrant to be met at Durfee Avenue and Ramona Boulevard. Anticipated development associated with the Code Amendment and Zone Change would be required

SECTION 6. Findings for Specific Plan No. 06-22: All neces sary findings to approve Specific Plan SP-5 (Esperanza Village Spe cific Plan) pursuant to El Monte Municipal Code Chapter 17.130 can be made in a positive manner and are as follows:

A.The Specific Plan will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the City.

Finding of Fact:

The Specific Plan includes development standards that are intended to create a harmonious relationship between the land uses in the Subject Property and the surrounding residential neighborhood to protect the health, safety and welfare of land uses on the Subject Property and its imme diate surroundings. The Specific Plan does not permit any uses or activities that would involve the use or discharge of unregulated hazardous materials and waste. The Spe cific Plan restricts the use of reflective building materials; requires exterior lighting to be shielded, equipped, and ori ented in a manner to prevent glare or direct illumination on public streets and residential properties; requires lighting to have even levels of illumination; and requires develop ment to be designed so that all movement involving park ing, turning, or loading occurs on-site. The Specific Plan design guidelines encourages buildings to be designed to be compatible with and complement adjacent uses while maintaining, enhancing, and complementing the charac ter of the development. The design guidelines also rec ommend that development incorporate appropriate Crime Prevenation Through Environmental Design features in the design of spaces as territorial reinforcement, strate gic natural surveillance, well-lit spaces, and appropriate maintenance.

The Specific Plan will allow a mix of residential units, com munity-serving facilities, and Los Angeles County-related offices and facilities. The community-serving facilities will serve the residents on the Subject Property and the sur rounding neighborhood, which will limit the amount of ve hicle miles residents would have to take to access these facilities and, thereby, reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions. The Specific Plan will require loading ar eas to be located a minimum of 70 feet from a public street or residential zoning district. Exterior trash enclosures are required to be located approximately 50 feet from the nearest residential property.

Potential impacts were evaluated in the IS/MND and the IS/MND found that environmental impacts would be less than significant with incorporation of mitigation measures

for Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. All other environmental topic areas would have either no impact or less-than-significant impacts. Therefore, the Specific Plan will not be detrimen tal to the public health, safety or welfare or injurious to the City.

B.The subject property proposed for the Specific Plan has unique characteristics, such as topography, location, size or surroundings that are enhanced by special land use and development standards.

Finding of Fact:

The Subject Property is relatively flat and is located on an underutilized 13.66-acre property in a residential neigh borhood. The size and location provide for the unique op portunity to develop a mix of affordable residential housing units for families and seniors, community-serving facili ties, and Los Angeles County-related uses and facilities. The development standards in the Specific Plan allows for development that is compatible with and enhances the surrounding neighborhood.

C.The Specific Plan results in the development of desirable character and use types that will be compatible with the surrounding area and provides effective buffering from ad jacent uses as found necessary.

Finding of Fact:

The Specific Plan will permit a mix of residential housing units for families and seniors, community-serving facili ties, and Los Angeles County-related uses and facilities. The community-serving facilities will serve the needs of the residents of the Subject Property and the surround ing neighborhood. The Proposed Development would be designed to allow the proposed buildings to transition in height from the surrounding one- and two-story residential buildings. Massing would be broken up into a series of separate buildings. Roof decks for Buildings 1 through 4 would be provided on Durfee Avenue and Gilman Road to allow the buildings to be stepped back from nearby residential structures to reduce the building scale and to help transition the massing of the proposed project. A majority of the parking spaces would be integrated into the residential buildings, which would not be visible from the surrounding streets and residential properties. Some of the surface parking spaces would be located between the structures and would not be visible to the public. Sur face parking areas that are visible would be landscaped to soften the views of the surface parking areas from the street and nearby residential properties. A six (6)-foot tall slumpstone wall would be placed along the southerly pe rimeter as a buffer between the adjacent residential prop erties and the Subject Property.

The Specific Plan design guidelines encourage buildings to be designed to be compatible with and complement adjacent uses while maintaining, enhancing, and comple menting the character of the development. The design guidelines also recommend that development incorpo rate building elements that complement the surrounding neighborhood and providing variations in wall and roof planes to break up massing of the buildings. The Specific Plan includes development standards that buffers devel opment within the Subject Property from adjacent uses, such as requiring lighting to be shielded or directed in ternally within the Subject Property to prevent glare and direct illumination on public streets and residential prop erties; requiring loading areas to be located a minimum of 70 feet from a public street or residential zoning dis trict, requiring exterior trash enclosures to be located ap proximately 50 feet from the nearest residential property, providing a five (5)-foot wide landscape buffer along the property line that adjoins a residential zoning district; and requiring a six (6)-foot tall solid wall along the property line that adjoins a residential zoning district.

D.The Specific Plan is consistent with the purpose, goals and policies of the City’s General Plan and its Compre hensive Design Guidelines.

Finding of Fact:

The Specific Plan is consistent with a significant number of the City’s General Plan goals and policies.

Community Design Element

• Policy CD-1.7: Identity. Support the creation of highly dif ferentiated identities for residential, commercial, and in dustrial areas that support the eclectic physical environ ment of the community.

Consistent. All development in the Specific Plan area would be designed to complement and be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The Proposed Develop ment would be designed to be consistent with the Spanish Modern style. Los Angeles County-related development would incorporate architectural characteristics and ele ments that complement other structures in the Specific

TheCOVID-19

pandemic changed our shopping habits, shifting the ways consum ers interact and engage with brands. Apparel, personal care products, and books saw the most dramatic fluc tuations in spending among American consumers. As the pandemic recedes, many of these trends are here to stay, and companies are grappling with how best to upgrade and optimize their customer experiences.

To better understand changing customer behavior, Ruby compiled a list of seven customer trends gaining traction as busi nesses emerge from the pandemic to better under stand changing customer behavior. Customer trends were compiled from various sources, including Forbes, Salesforce's State of the Connected Customer report, and Deloitte.

Shopping is now a digi tal-first experience for many, rather than a brick-andmortar experience, accord ing to a Salesforce report surveying consumers and business buyers. The report found that features such as shopping online, contact less payments, and reaching customers through social media, including influencers, are now standard pillars of

building customer experi ences.

Additionally, it is no longer enough for a brand to offer a quality, affordable product or service. Custom ers are more invested than ever in a company's ethics and ability to interact with those values transparently and authentically.

Though many of these changes may be overwhelm ing to consumers—and to companies—used to traditional methods of commerce, the good news is that they are also a lucrative opportunity. These shifts in consumer trends allow brands to be more effective than ever in their advertis ing, sales, and communica tions.

People are looking for experiences—not just purchases

It is no longer enough for companies to just provide a quality product or service, according to Salesforce's State of the Connected Customer report. An over whelming 86% of consumer survey respondents say that a seamless, enjoyable customer experience is equally as important when choosing which brand to buy. Doing so creates a consumer-brand bond and instills a company's reputa tion with legitimacy, which

can net long-term customer loyalty. Some of the hall marks of good customer experience include purchas ing options on multiple platforms, accessible help services, and personaliza tion—all of which combine to make a frictionless purchase and keep custom ers coming back time and time again.

Consumers seek a unified, or 'omnichannel,' experience

Omnichannel refers to user experiences that connect a customer's touch points, including brick-andmortar, social media, web, and phone apps. The Bank of America, for example, allows customers to make and settle payments using any combination of channels that works for them. Compa nies hoping to provide omnichannel options should conduct thorough consumer research and analytics to gauge which payment and engagement platforms best serve consumer needs.

The main reasons people switch brands are better deals and quality of product or service

Over the past year, 71% of Salesforce survey respondents said they switched from their previ ously favored brands to new ones. The proliferation of

consumer data collection and analytics allows brands to tempt customers with targeted product advertis ing and dynamic pricing suited to their specific needs. Companies hoping to retain their consumer base and attract new customers should priori tize conversion-optimized product sorting, personal ized product recommenda tions, bundling offers, and coupons.

Environmental prac tices are gaining impor tance

More and more consum ers are looking beyond the quality and price of products offered to also consider their personal compatibility with the brand, especially when it comes to matching environmental values. Sixtyeight percent of respondents want to make sure their money is going to a company that works to solve societal issues, and 78% of purchas ing decisions are influenced specifically by a company's environmental ethics, according to the Salesforce survey. The top reported consumer environmental concerns are how a company handles recycling, single-use plastics, and carbon emis sions.

Hyper-personalization is essential

It is vital for a customer to feel like the brand they're shopping with offers person alized content that matches their interests, needs, and personality. Companies can accomplish this through hyper-personalization, using data and analytics to customize the products, deals, and communication channels through which they engage with customers, thus optimizing each customer's experience. Cadbury, known for its dairy milk chocolate, used customer insights to create personalized video ads posted to consumers' social media channels and achieved 65% click-through rates. Using hyper-personal ization methods can increase consumer loyalty to a brand and how much a customer is willing to spend during a purchase.

AI offers an essential bridge between brands and buyers

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for companies to expand their reach and give better and faster client results. Examples of AI implementation in customer experiences include chatbots, agent assist, selfservice, and smart speakers that can help with shopping lists and finding deals. Salesforce survey respon

dents reported feeling more comfortable with brands using their data with trans parency to improve their experience. Using AI offers several company benefits, with Learn Hub reporting that it "improves lead gener ation, streamlines work flows, facilitates customer service, prevents employee burnout, (and) saves costs."

Buyers want to feel like there's a human they can reach with questions

When customers encoun ter hiccups while engaging with a brand, it's crucial that they have an easily accessible outlet for questions—prefer ably one that offers human interaction. These can include live chat functions, customer service phone lines, and emails. Chatting with representatives via "conversational commerce" channels allows for natural, authentic dialogue that builds consumer trust in a brand. Additionally, it is beneficial to a company to interact with customers while resolving negative experiences and highlighting wins and developments.

Art space in San Gabriel, The Scholart Selection, opens with Pasadena artist Cissy Li show

By May S. RUIZ mayrchu56@gmail.com

The Scholart Selec tion, an art space located at the San Gabriel Mission District, held its inaugural show from Nov. 18 to 20 – in time for the holiday shopping season – with an exhibition and sale of hats, glassware, and ceramic items made by Pasadena artist Cissy Li. Also featured were vintage costume jewelry from the showroom owner’s private collection.

A former haute couture runway model, Li graced the catwalk for Europe’s renowned fashion houses. She followed that illustri ous career with yet another artistic endeavor – artisanal milliner – creating bespoke headwear for friends. Then she expanded into making glass and ceramic art ware, which she displayed at her spring show this year.

According to Li, she wasn’t asked to make anything special for Scholart Selection’s maiden event.

She says, “Cindy [the art space’s founder] trusted me to come up with something and told me not to work too hard; she reassured me that we had enough items to

show. So I made 16 plates for the gallery opening – they are one layer of clear glass with an over glaze of famous oil paintings and 22K gold band.”

That confidence in Li’s ability is high praise from someone she hasn’t known very long. She discloses that they met through a friend they both know. “I then invited Cindy to my friend Yenfu Guo’s exhibition called GAME at Seasons LA. After some lengthy and wonderful conversations, we became friends. I invited her to my workshop to show her how to make glass art work. She was very interested and, maybe impressed, so she asked me to be her new art space’s first guest artist. I was so thrilled!”

It isn’t the first time that Li has partnered with a gallery and she absolutely enjoys the experience. She enthuses, “This is a wonder ful way to show people your ability! And I had a great time working with Cindy. I learned so much from her –she is so smart and hands-on – and I would love to collabo rate with her again!”

The Scholart Selec

tion was founded by Cindy Wang in 2012 as a channel for art. She originally called it The Scholar but eventu ally renamed it Scholart (a portmanteau for scholar and art) Selection. She graciously speaks with us during the showroom’s opening, with Scholart’s Space Manager Dodonna Jen acting as inter preter to facilitate the inter view.

The decision to ask Li to be her first guest artist wasn’t an impulse but a deliberate choice. Wang explains, “Cissy is a dear friend of mine and I have a great understanding of her creative process. Since our opening exhibition is a three-day event amidst the holidays, the hand-crafted hats, ceramics, and glass ware with their beautiful colors are very fitting to share with everyone during the Christmas season. I truly commend Cissy for her dedi cation and hard work and all the hours she puts in to perfect each and every piece of her art.”

Vintage costume jewelry pieces accompanied the magnificent Cissy Li creations. They were from

Wang’s private collection gathered from her travels in Europe and were available for purchase. While at first glance, the vintage jewelry is reminiscent of Old Holly wood glamour, she didn’t necessarily pick from that particular era, fashion, or style. She sees the value of the costume jewelry based on their beauty, quality, and workmanship.

Wang reiterates, “That’s why I call the space Scholart Selection – the art pieces we exhibit, from jewelry to ceramics, have been selected to reflect the best of artists’ work. What I’m sharing with people are what I personally picked.”

“Our current plan is to hold eight to ten exhibitions for 2023,” Wang divulges. “We are now lining up both local and international artists. Our regular exhibi tions run about a month long while smaller shows and pop-up events go on for about a few days.

“Whatever the scale of the exhibition, The Scholart Selection always encourages everyone to walk into the art space and feel the spectacular

visual gratification that makes you want to keep coming back to experi ence art in person, as well as relax, muse, and have a good time,” asserts Wang.

Determining whom to invite to exhibit their artwork at The Scholart Selection involves analyz ing the artist’s oeuvre. Wang declares, “First of all, when we look into an artist, it’s not only my personal under standing of them but also our entire team’s evaluation. We see their artwork, the style and the story that they wish to tell. Of course, the initia tive for us to work with an artist is the artist’s percep tion, with sensitivity to the current culture and society. The process of collaborating with artists and selecting the artworks is always the most fun part. Working with artists always brings me into contact with a wealth of outlook on the world.”

“We are not limited to a certain art form, because art has no boundaries,” Wang clarifies. “This is also the reason why The Scholart Selection does not categorize itself as a gallery but, instead, as an art space. We welcome

various art forms, such as movies, music, photography, and different ways of artistic expression. We would love to devote ourselves to creating opportunities for talented artists.”

That Wang asked Cissy Li as their inaugural artist demonstrates her and The Scholart Selection’s commitment to that mission, along with showcasing only the best in their field. And the reception from guests did not disappoint.

“We put in a lot of time and effort for this event –from decorating to design ing and from invitations to coordination.” Wang concludes, “We wanted to give our guests a welcom ing and warm experience. It was definitely successful; we were overwhelmed!”

It shouldn’t have come as a surprise – Wang and Li created an event people enjoyed going to. The exhi bition also set the bench mark for The Scholart Selec tion’s upcoming shows. It’s a tough act to follow, but Wang is sure to invite only consummate professionals like her who can top that feat time and time again.

Consistent. See Policy PR-2.1, above.

•Goal PR-5: A comprehensive system of walking, hiking, biking, and equestrian paths and trails that are accessible, safe, and connect to homes, residences, parks, and other community destinations.

Consistent. See Policy PR-2.1, above.

Circulation Element

•Policy C-2.2: Roadway Performance Standards. The City desires to maintain a level of service (LOS) D throughout the City, except that LOS E may occur in the following circumstances:

oIntersections/roadways at, or adjacent to, freeway ramps

oIntersections/roadways on major corridors and transit routes

oIntersections/roadways on truck routes

oIntersections/roadways in or adjacent to commercial districts

oThese standards may require, but are not intended to mandate, roadway and/or intersection widening. They are a policy goal and shall be used to monitor traffic conditions to assess the impacts of new development. As LOS standards apply only to vehicles and do not account for walkability or other modes, they shall not be the sole criteria for judging transportation system performance. Pedestrian walkability and convenience, livability, transit access, operability, and aesthetics shall also be performance criteria.

Consistent. The traffic impact analysis showed that Anticipated Development would maintain an LOS of A or B at three (3)of the four (4) analyzed intersections during “Existing with Project” and “Future with Project” conditions. LOS at Durfee Avenue/Ramona Boulevard intersection, however, would worsen from LOS D under “Existing” conditions to LOS E under “Existing with Project” conditions. This intersection would worsen from LOS E under “Future without Project” conditions to LOS F under “Future with Project” conditions. Durfee Avenue and Ramona Boulevard are major corridors with transit routes. The increased delay is at the stop-sign controlled approach of Durfee Avenue at this location. According to the traffic impact analysis, Anticipated Development would not cause the traffic signal warrant to be met and a fair-share financial contribution by the proposed project toward future signalization of the intersection is recommended. The Proposed Development associated with the Specific Plan would contribute to the fair-share financial contribution. Additionally, the Specific Plan include elements that would enhance the walkability of the neighborhood by incorporating street trees and landscaping along the parkways. The Proposed Develop-

ment would include traffic calming measures along Durfee Avenue and Gilman Road.

•Policy C-2.5: Context-Sensitive Street Standards. Design and operate streets and intersections to be sensitive to adjacent land uses and districts and to all roadway users, including transit, bicycles, and pedestrians, where appro priate.

Consistent. The Proposed Development would install traf fic calming measures along Gilman Road and/or Durfee Avenue. An enhanced pedestrian crossing would be in stalled on Gilman Road at Twin Lakes Elementary School.

•Policy C-3.2: Traffic Flow Management. Manage traffic flow on roadways for appropriate vehicle speeds, calm traffic in the City, and protect neighborhoods from traffic intrusion. Apply appropriate techniques to control the vol ume and speed of traffic consistent with land use policy, sensitive uses, and other concerns.

Consistent. The Proposed Development would provide traffic calming measures along Durfee Avenue and Gil man Road.

•Goal C-5: A connected, balanced, and integrated system of walking, biking, and equestrian paths and trails that is accessible and safe and connect to homes, residences, parks, and other community destinations.

Consistent. The Specific Plan include elements that would enhance the walkability of the neighborhood by incorpo rating street trees and landscaping along the parkways. Existing Class II bike lanes are located along Durfee Av enue, adjacent to the Specific Plan area.

•Policy C-6.4: Parking Supply. Require residential, com mercial, industrial, and other land uses in the community to provide adequate on-site parking for their respective uses; allow for joint-use parking provided the parking needs of individual uses are satisfied.

Consistent. The Specific Plan includes parking require ments to ensure that sufficient parking spaces would be provided for Anticipated Development on the Subject Property. The County-related parcel would have joint-use parking that would be shared by the County-related uses and the community park.

•Policy C-6.6: Project Mitigation. Require appropriate miti gation measures to be implemented by projects that have a significant or potentially significant impact on the trans portation network.

Consistent. The traffic impact analysis for Anticipated Development associated with the Specific Plan does not identify any significant or potentially significant impacts on vehicle miles traveled (VMT). LOS at the Durfee Avenue/ Ramona Boulevard intersection would worsen from LOS D under “Existing” conditions to E under “Existing with Project” conditions, and from LOS E under “Future without Project” conditions to F under “Future with Project” condi tions. The delay would occur at the stop-sign controlled approach of Durfee Avenue. However, the traffic impact analysis determined that Anticipated Development would not cause the traffic signal warrant to be met at Durfee Avenue and Ramona Boulevard. The Proposed Develop ment would be required to provide a fair-share financial contribution toward future signalization of the intersection.

Consistent. The Specific Plan would permit a mix of resi dential uses, community-serving facilities, a community park, and government offices and related facilities. The community-serving facilities, community park, government offices and related facilities would serve the residents of the Subject Property and the surrounding neighborhood, which would limit the amount of vehicle miles that the resi dents of the Subject Property and the surrounding neigh borhood would have to take to access these facilities.

•Policy PHS-3.3: Community Forest. As prescribed in the Parks and Recreation Element, enhance the City’s com munity forest by planting trees along all roadways as a means to help filter air pollutants, clean the air, and pro vide other health benefits to the community.

Consistent. The Specific Plan would support this policy by installing street trees along the parkways on Durfee Av enue, Kerrwood Street, and Gilman Road.

•Goal PHS-5: A safe and healthy environment that minimiz es the public health risks and threats posed by hazardous materials and wastes.

Consistent. The Specific Plan does not permit any in dustrial uses or activities that would result in the use or discharge of unregulated hazardous materials and waste. Anticipated Development would comply with all applicable standards and regulations related to hazardous materials during construction and operational activities,

•Goal PHS-8: Effective adaptation to increase the commu nity’s resilience to climate change impacts.

Consistent. The Proposed Development would incor porate sustainable features that would increase the development’s resilience to climate change. Sustainable features include the use of solar panels, solar carports, drought-tolerant plants, artificial turf, permeable paving, decomposed granite to capture stormwater, and recy cled water for water features. Additionally, the Proposed Development would place residential units on the same property as community-serving facilities and a community park. These facilities would serve the residents living on the Subject Property and the surrounding neighborhood. By placing residences in close proximity to communityserving facilities and a park, vehicle miles traveled would be reduced and thereby reduce the Anticipated Develop ment’s effect on climate change.

•Policy PHS-8.9: Build partnerships with public, private and nonprofit sectors to provide services to residents as needed, and foster community connections.

Consistent. The City of El Monte and the County of Los Angeles is working with a nonprofit developer to devel op the Subject Property.

•Policy PHS-9.3: Site Planning. Incorporate noise con siderations into the site plan review process, particularly with regard to parking and loading areas, ingress/egress points and refuse collection areas.

Consistent. Noise was considered during the site plan re view of the Proposed Development. As discussed in the IS/MND, parking lot noise would not exceed the EMMC ambient noise standards. A majority of the trash areas would be located in the enclosed podium parking areas.

The Specific Plan requires that loading area a minimum of 70 feet from a public street and residential zoning district, which would limit noise in the surrounding neighborhood.

Health and Wellness Element

•Policy HW-3.1: Range of Housing. Strive to eliminate con centrations of poverty by promoting a range of housing options integrated into mixed income neighborhoods.

Consistent. The Specific Plan would permit multiple-family residential units that are affordable to low-, very low-, and extremely low-income individuals, families, and seniors.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by ERNEST R. DURAN in the Superior Court of California, County of LOS ANGELES.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE re quests that ERNEST R. DURAN be appointed as personal representa tive to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Es tates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the per sonal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration au thority will be granted unless an in terested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 01/06/23 at 8:30AM in Dept. 9 located at 111 N.HILL ST., LOS ANGELES, CA 90012

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a con tingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal rep resentative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issu ance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in sec tion 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person in terested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

TICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auc tion. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encour aged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance com pany, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.
