Thousands Set To Flock To Rodeo Drive Sunday For 26th Annual Concours d’Elegance

Beverly Hills Land Company Seeking Lot 12 Zone Change

By Matt Lopez Fathers, start your engines.

This Sunday, the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance, the annual Beverly Hills Father’s Day tradition, returns to celebrate its 26th year in Beverly Hills.

This Sunday’s event will pay tribute to 100 years of Bentley.

In honor of Bentley, a special flagship class will line the 200-block of R o d e o feaTHIS ISSUE Drive, turing prewar classics, postwar tourers, modern luxury vehicles, and sports cars.

Highlighting the class Sunday will be four of the rarest, most exclusive vehicles in Bentley’s catalog, including a 1927 Bentley 3/4.5

By Victoria Talbot Legislative Advocate Dale Goldsmith has registered to advocate for the Beverly Hills Land Co. for a project seeking a zone change from T-zone, for transportation, to C3 on Lot 12.

Lot 12 is one of two lots on the eastern entrance to the City on the south side of Santa Monica Boulevard that are undeveloped.

Director of Community Development Susan Healy Keene says that no plans have been submitted yet.

Rumors have been circulating for years that the developer, Lyn Konheim, may be seeking to develop Lot 12 in exchange for dedicating Lot 13 as a City park, though those

City, School District Talk Traffic Mitigation As Reconfiguration Nears

By Matt Lopez As the Beverly Hills Unified School District prepares for reconfiguration next year, there are other big changes expected to come along with it.

At its meeting last Thursday, the Traffic & Parking Commission discussed City traffic mitigation proposals that will take effect next school year when drastic changes occur across the school district.

As part of the district’s reconfiguration plan, Beverly Vista will

become a dedicated middle school for the entire district, while Hawthorne and Horace Mann will each have kindergarten through fifth-grade classes. El Rodeo will be closed for two years as part of construction.

City staff came up with several changes to signage around the various school sites in attempt to mitigate traffic changes that will occur as the campuses go through facelifts next year. (see ‘BHUSD TRAFFIC’ page 10)

Trump Organization Sells President’s Beverly Hills Home For $13.5 Million

By Victoria Talbot The Trump Organization has sold the home at 809 N. Canon Drive for $13.5 million in an off-market sale, according to property records.

The Real Deal reports that the buyer was Hillcrest Asia Limited, according to Los Angeles County records.

The Tudor-style home, built in 1927, is directly across the street from The Beverly Hills Hotel and Will Rogers Memorial Park. It is a 16-room, 5,395 square foot house with five bedrooms and six bathrooms, located on a little over a half-acre with a swimming pool.

Trump purchased the house in 2007 for $7 million.

rumors are not substantiated.

Goldsmith is reporting compensation for his legislative advocacy up to $25,000.

The site, a former railroad right of way, is contaminated with high levels of arsenic, a concentration of 996 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) in the soil with the highest concentration in the top two feet of soil. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) is the lead agency in charge of site clean-up.

The site became a rallying point when, on Nov. 21-22, 2015, the City of Beverly Hills allowed the Beverly Hills Land Co. to cut down 196 trees.

The then-newly-installed

Last year, students from Beverly Hills Unified came to Will Rogers Park to protest the Metro Purple Line Extension that is slated to run beneath Beverly Hills High School. The connection to Trump’s property was indicated by protesters in the hopes that the protest would get his attention.

The house did get the attention of Code Enforcement.

The Trump Organization, which is now helmed by Donald J. Trump Jr, has paid over $1,128 in fines for a hedge that exceeds the six-foot height code. Trump’s spokespeople say that the hedges were necessary to protect the president. (see ‘TRUMP HOME’ page 12)

WISE WORDS — Some may recall Denzel Washington's sage comment, “At the end of the day, it’s not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It’s about what you’ve done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you've given back.”

Chairman Emeritus Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs ****** Senior Editor John L. Seitz Special Sections Editor Stephen P. Simmons

An Op-Ed By Kenneth W. Wright, M.D. A VILLAGE FOR THE HOMELESS Although the problem of the homeless hasn’t hit Beverly Hills to any major extent thus far, it could be on our doorstep soon. As a physician who has cared for the homeless, I find myself shaking my head, unbelievable that despite spending more than $600 million last year, homelessness in Los Angeles County has increased by 12% and L.A. city by 16%.

Unfortunately, while well-intended, traditional programs are not working, communities are now inundated with encampments and downtown L.A. rampant with filth, rats, and disease.

May I suggest a different approach: “A Village for the Homeless”? This would be a large, self-contained multi-acre facility that would allow a safe, structured environment with individuals carefully evaluated so appropriate care and services can be provided. These will include vocational training with jobs on site, mental health treatment, legal services, and alcohol/drug rehabilitation. Volunteers including students, retirees, and professionals, can participate as adjuncts to the staff. Admission would be on a voluntary basis or by referral from existing shelters as they only provide temporary housing. The Village is not an “out-of-sight-out-of-mind” program but a solution that provides a safe, caring setting. For some, it will be a way to transition back into mainstream society while for others it will be home.

This concept is not new. In 1993, Ted Hayes established the Dome Village for the homeless downtown, which housed approximately 30 homeless singles and families for more than 13 years. According to Ted, his residents got along well and actively par-

ticipated in daily chores. Educational programs were offered, including workshops in computer literacy, job-searches, and legal issues. Many of these residents graduated to productive lives outside the Village, while others required chronic care. Recently, he did a poll of homeless people and more than 90% said they would be in favor of such a Village.

A possible site could be an abandoned military base or a large county facility to accommodate thousands of people. Funding would come from the combined resources of the government (e.g. Proposition H and HHH that raise hundreds of millions of dollars) and private foundations. The Village location will also address the NIMBY (“not in my backyard”) issue.

Local residents have property rights and are furious about bridge housing planned in their communities.

At a recent Venice community meeting, for instance, one resident was extremely bothered that he works two jobs to pay his mortgage while free bridge housing is to be built closer to the beach – “Not fair”.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court ruled the homeless cannot be removed from the streets because they have nowhere to go, thus making vagrancy laws unenforceable. The Village, a large capacity facility, would allow enforcement of our vagrancy laws already on the books. The street should never be an option for those who are struggling in our society. The Village concept is a “win–win” for both the homeless and our communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I wish to take this opportunity to sincerely congratulate and express my appreciation for the very effective and efficient measures assumed by our City Manager George Chavez, the Beverly Hills Police Department, and code enforcement upon learning of the week-long parking obstruction that has been taking place in our residential area. Please refer to the next paragraph for details.

Since June 7, there has been some “event” taking place at 809 Hillcrest Road.. This is not the first major happening to occur at this exact location and for an extended period of time. Among the issues arising from these week-long “events” are the heavy increase in traffic flow on Hillcrest as well as that every parking spot on Monte Leon Road and Monte Leon Lane is being occupied. Moreover, residents of these streets lose their easy access to their front gates and mailboxes and, of course, personal visitors are unable to park on these two streets.

Assuming this location has been permitted for such an “event,” they should provide permits likewise so that parking attendants can spread out the cars amongst the streets rather than overtaking two specific adjoining streets for this length of time. It is also suggested that such events could and should be held at the Wallis or the Greystone Mansion, instead.

Again my sincere appreciation to BHPD and George Chavez for addressing these issues so effectively and in such a timely manner.

However, speaking about parking, there is not one disabled parking spot in the business area and very few passenger loading/unloading zones. Example: Rite-Aid on North Bedford Drive has no place for a disabled person who must go to the pharmacy to get out of or into a car. The same is true

on most of the streets. If meter parking is taken, the rest are red zones or valet which includes Lexus dealers, banks and an incredible number of restaurants.

Finally nothing new..... but Bijan continues to occupy its personal yellow painted metered spot making sure no one parks there by having their employees block the space. Others are taking heed because the colored meter signifies to them that Bijan must have the right. The law actually tells us that after 2 hours, one must move their car or get a ticket or be towed.

Regarding safety: The City ought to make sure that there are no bicycles, Segways, Birds, etc. on the sidewalks as these create potentially dangerous walking scenarios for pedestrians.

A danger to children or passerbys are the hedges alongside driveways which obstruct driver's' view as they pull out onto the street. I would like to remind the City that hedges must be no more than 3 feet in height for the first 8 feet from the sidewalk. Residents can be sent a bulletin advising us to comply or be fined.

Pablo Nankin, M.D. ****** How lovely to know that in Beverly Hills, where one can no longer legally purchase a package of cigarettes, we can nonetheless enjoy a evening of what, no doubt, we've all been craving: British Music Hall vaudeville sing along with members of the City Council. Really and so timely, too--around the 75th anniversary of D-Day. Yes, this certainly should put Beverly Hills on the map as a cultural capital.

We can only hope, I suppose, that Mayor John Mirisch will next lead us in a Soap Box Derby. That would make us, what?... a sports destination!!!

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). The next 10 weeks your life will be like a song. The best part is that you get to be the DJ who decides which one. There's nothing standing in the way of your ability to create your destiny. Your appetite for education strengthens in September. You'll apply it to organize financial structure that will support you in years to come. Scorpio and Aries adore you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Why would you expect yourself to do the work of a master when you've only just begun to learn the craft?

Because someone has made it look easy, that’s why. Mastery often does appear that way. Be patient with yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re open to love, but you know better than to try and extract it from anywhere complicated. The best love is the kind that’s made readily available. You shouldn’t have to go fracking for it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your heart swells to fill the moment. This is how you love— elastic-like. You’ve been known to promise things in this state of heightened feeling, but really, you shouldn’t have to.

Your big love is enough. Really it is!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Gold can be found in dirt, in streams, in oceans, even in the human body. Still, it’s pretty rare to come across a big nugget of it. Give what you’re offering in a concentrated form and it will be accepted as the jackpot it is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll feel the good feelings because you decide to—o other reason. Once you set your mind to an idea, you become a magnet for it. That idea organizes your perception.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People who are really interested in others tend to ask the great questions that go straight to the essence of the matter. They’ll sound brilliant for just being curious... which, actually, is what being brilliant is all about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Making things is the fun part, especially in the beginning stages when you’re full of hope. It’s exciting to think about what could be. The middle bit—that’s where grit comes in. Luckily, you have plenty of that to draw on today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you’re being honest, you’ll notice that you’re actually growing irritated by that activity that eats your hours and doesn’t give back in terms of pleasure or productivity.

Time to put that one to rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s as though something opens in you and the hard work becomes effortless. This could have to do with the adrenaline released in a high-pressure situation. Deadlines are good that way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Pity doesn’t help. Helping helps. And that, in a nutshell, is why you’re so busy this weekend. You can easily provide what someone else is sorely lacking, and it’s your pleasure to do so.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You’ll stumble across information that perhaps wasn’t intended for you, at least not by its keeper. But from the perspective of universal consciousness, of course it was meant for you. Otherwise you wouldn’t have it.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). Everyone around you is seeking to be understood. Though you want this, too, you’re willing to take a break from the quest so you can focus on others. You’ll learn something about human nature that will help the crusade.

Detanna, Gluck Named To Barron’s Top Female Financial Advisors List

BUILDING THE BEST BHFD – The Beverly Hills Fire Department is inviting stakeholders to join them in a community meeting at Greystone Mansion at 6 p.m. on Jun. 25 to discuss ways the Department can improve services. Pictured is the Mobile Stroke Unit, NP1 with the nurse practitioner and the CERT Program, standing beside the fire trucks. These are many of the ways in which the BHFD extends services in the community beyond firefighting and paramedics to keep Beverly Hills safe.

Beverly Hills Fire Department Welcomes Stakeholders To Greystone Outreach Meeting

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Fire Department is inviting stakeholders to join them in a Community Stakeholder Meeting at Greystone Mansion and Gardens, 905 Loma Vista Dr., at 6 p.m. on June 25.

The event is a component of the Fire Department’s accreditation by the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE).

CPSE accreditation is a voluntary process that includes a large investment in agency staff time with the result of creating a better-run, higher-performing agency. Accreditation is an international recognition of achievement that shows that the agency is performing to industry best practices and holding itself accountable through an external peer review.

The meeting will focus on the Fire Department’s strategic plan, an important component

of the accreditation process. To that end, the BHFD is interested in hearing from the community so they can better understand what the community’s expectations are and to better develop a plan to implement those goals in the future.

Founded in 1986, CPSE is an international technical nonprofit organization that awards accreditation to fire and emergency services agencies.

According to CPSE, only 11% of the nation’s population is protected by accredited agencies, 266 nationwide.

It has been five years since the last time BHFD put forth a strategic plan. Through input from the community, the department seeks to understand where there may be gaps in services that need to be filled.

In the last year, BHFD has initiated a Nurse Practitioner program. The program is a unique and innovative

Emergency Medical Service (EMS) model, designed to deliver advanced, efficient and effective healthcare in the prehospital setting. BHFD’s vehicle, ‘Nurse Practitioner 1’ (NP1), will respond to calls for service in the field.

Staffed with both a Nurse Practitioner and Firefighter Paramedic with oversight from a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, NP1 is equipped with an array of medications, select laboratory diagnostics and technical medical equipment.

Whether responding to 911 calls or following up on ‘in home’ patient referrals, NP1 will provide mobile urgent care as well as collaborate with primary care providers in order to optimize greater long-term health and wellness within our community.

With a focus on improving patient outcomes and connecting healthcare resources to

patients’ specific needs, the program defines the future of Mobile Integrated Health.

The City of Beverly Hills also partners with Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center’s Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU). Staffed with a physician, registered nurse, CT technician, and firefighter paramedic, the MSU is capable of diagnosing and treating patients with acute stroke prior to being transported to the hospital.

Presently, BHFD is a Class1 fire department through ISO (Insurance Services Office).

This is the first time the Department is seeking a accreditation.

The event will be at 5:30 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. RSVP is requested.

To RSVP, call 310-2812700 or email mliongson@beverlyhills.org.

BHHS Girl Scout Recognized At Skirball Center Ceremony

By Victoria Talbot Elise Knebel, 15, a junior at Beverly Hills High School, was recognized last week with the prestigious Girl Scout Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve.

Knebel’s project concept was inspired by her brother when he was hospitalized unexpectedly for a prolonged period.

“Caring Cards” are preassembled kits that can be made available to visitors of children who are hospitalized to enable them to leave notes of support and encouragement.

The kits can also be sent to a child’s classroom, community, church or other support network to enable the patient to receive well wishes and reassurances from loved ones.

Elise Knebel

Hospitalization is often a lonely and traumatic experience, made all the more frightening by the isolation of being away from loved ones. Missing a cherished visitor can add to the anguish.

“This project was inspired by an event in 2015,” said Knebel. “My brother went in for surgery at a local hospital

and ended up staying in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) under sedation for many weeks. I realized that for those visiting him, there needed to be a way to leave him a note, but a note that he could take home in a collection after his stay.”

The simple, inexpensive solution includes a binder ring, a set of index cards with a hole punched in them, a pen and a bag for easy delivery.

For the project, Knebel met with community groups to teach them how to assemble the kits. She also met with nurses and child care specialists at four local hospitals and delivered over 500 kits throughout Southern California including Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Cedars-Sinai

Medical Center.

Kits have also been delivered to a children’s hospital in Orlando, Florida.

To receive the award, she performed over 100 hours of community service.

Knebel was pinned by the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles CEO Lise Luttgens at a special ceremony Saturday.

She is the first Girl Scout since 2012 to receive the award in the service district. It is unknown if any other Girl Scout in Beverly Hills has received the distinction.

She will also be recognized by the Beverly Hills Health & Safety Commission at their next meeting.

By Matt Lopez For the second straight year, Beverly Hills financial advisors Tracey Gluck and Lisa Detanna were named to Barron’s prestigious top 100 Women Financial Advisors in America list.

Gluck, of J.P. Morgan Securities, and Lisa Detanna of Raymond James, both checked in last year on the list, which reflects the volume of assets overseen by the advisors and their teams, revenues generated for the firms, and the quality of the advisors’ practices.

Gluck, a managing director and financial advisor with J.P. Morgan Securities, is also a portfolio manager in the firm’s Portfolio Manager Program (PM Program). She assesses clients in transition for their current and long-term needs, along with risk tolerance, and designs portfolios tailored to achieve their objectives.

Detanna has been in wealth management for more (see ‘FINANCIAL ADVISORS’ page 10)

Municipal League to Hold Annual Town Hall June 20

By Victoria Talbot The Municipal League of Beverly Hills will hold its annual Town Hall from 7-9 p.m. on June 20 at the Peninsula Beverly Hills.

Beverly Hills Mayor John Mirisch will conduct a discussion on the future of Beverly Hills as a residential community.

It is also anticipated that Mayor Mirisch will discuss some of the bills in Sacramento that address housing density.

Mirisch’s installation speech was a resounding rejection of Sacramento policies that allege to address the State’s housing crisis by removing local zoning control.

The Beverly Hills Historical Society will conduct a special presentation, as well.

It is an opportunity for residents to join or to renew their memberships. Refreshments will be served.

The event is free and open to the public. Discount valet parking will be available.

World’s Jewish Museum and Cultural Center Raises $6.7 Million At Inaugural Awards Night

BHUSD Hires New Assistant Superintendent

By Victoria Talbot The American Friends of the World’s Jewish Museum (AFWJM) raised $6.7 million from its inaugural gala last week at the Montage Beverly Hills.

The event, which was emceed by comic and television host Howie Mandel, included the public unveiling of the museum design concept by renowned architect Frank Gehry.

Gehry also received a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The dinner was chaired by Shauna Shapiro Jackson with the support of the Los Angeles Committee of AFWJM and project directors Moe Levy, executive director, and Gail Asper, president and trustee of the Asper Foundation.

By Matt Lopez The Beverly Hills Unified School District on Tuesday announced the hiring of its latest administrator – J. Wade Roach was hired as the district’s new Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.

Roach is a 16-year veteran of school districts across the wine country of Napa and Sonoma counties, where he worked in capacities as both an assistant superintendent and chief business official.

He comes to Beverly Hills after eight years as Napa Valley Unified School District’s assistant superintendent of business services. He previously served more than a dozen years in business services roles with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.

BHUSD Superintendent Michael Bregy said Roach brings “exceptional experience from the education sector as well as significant corporate fiscal management skills to our District. His financial focus paired with a communicative-

Planning Commission Denies Warbler Lot Line Adjustment, R-1 Permit, and Variances

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills Planning Commission has denied a requested Lot Line Adjustment (LLA), Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Use Permit, Trousdale R-1 Permit and five variances at 9304 Warbler Way, where the owner purchased a single-family home in Los Angeles and later, purchased three adjacent vacant lots that were at the back end of parcels on Hillcrest Road in Trousdale.

The three lots are in Beverly Hills and the owner had requested the LLA, ADU, R-1 Permit and five variances in order to allow for the adjustment of lot lines to combine the four existing adjacent parcels into one parcel and to construct a dwelling unit on the portion of the project site

located in Beverly Hills.

Last month, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the Project.

With Commissioner Joe Shooshani recused, they decided in a 4-0 vote to prepare a resolution denying the project because they could not make the findings.

The property owner, Vance Owen, returned to the Planning Commission on Thursday with plans for a parking pad to be accessed via Warbler Way, which was not considered.

While none of the commissioners was willing to grant the LLA, the ADU or the variances, Vice Chair Alan Block tried to persuade the commission that a Lot Line Adjustment would prevent the owner from hiding behind an

anonymous LLC and avoiding responsibility for maintenance and brush clearance on the lots.

Staff countered that by saying that the owner would be held responsible, nonetheless. Block persisted, but did not prevail because consolidating the four lots could allow for future development.

Several neighbors in Trousdale and in Los Angeles spoke against the project, including a representative from Councilmember David Ryu’s office. Nonetheless, Block voted against the resolution denying the Lot Line Adjustment.

In addition to the LLA and ADU, the property owner graded a driveway and terraced the canyon walls

Providence St. Joseph Health Releases Community Benefit Report Of Donations Last year, Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH), Southern California invested more than $370 million in the communities it serves across L.A. and Orange counties and the High Desert.

The region’s 2018 Community Benefit Report was released this week.

“Providence St. Joseph Health was built by the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Sisters of Providence who left us a common legacy of compassionate care for the most vulnerable,” said Erik G. Wexler, chief executive of the organization’s Southern California Region.

Providence Saint John’s Health Center Recognized For Excellence In Stroke Care Providence Saint John’s Health Center was awarded for quality care in treating patients suffering strokes, basing care on standards measured by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s “Get With The Guidelines” program.

The Santa Monica hospital earned the Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, given to hospitals that have experienced two or more consecutive years with a minimum 85 percent adherence to AHA/ASA achievement measures, and 75 percent on additional quality measures.

Saint John’s also was named to the AHA/ASA Elite Plus Honor Roll, which includes those programs that adhere to target measures and provide intervention as quickly as possible, often making a critical difference in the patient’s outcome.

“With aging populations in many of our communities and with the troubling increase of young people suffering strokes, these stroke teams have raised the bar on stroke care. Quick intervention, including minimally invasive clot removal, saves brain function — and

lives,” said neuro-interventionalist George Te i t e l b a u m , M.D., a medical director of parent organization Providence St. Joseph Health’s Neuro-science Clinical Institute, formed to share expertise across the seven-state, 51Dr. George hospital health Teitelbaum care system.

A Heart Association study shows stroke patients treated at hospitals participating in the national “Get With The Guidelines” stroke program were more likely to be discharged and less likely to die after leaving the hospital than patients in non-participating hospitals.

The awards go to hospitals that adhere to ”Get With The Guidelines” indicators consistently and succeed in complying with recommended measures in treating stroke.

JEWISH MUSEUM (Continued from page 5)

powerful evening with a stunning video presentation.

Following the dinner, Asper invited both Sheryl and David Wiener to be honored for their leadership and generous contributions to a host of causes. The couple were among the earliest supporters of the WJM project.

Wiener spoke of growing up in Poland in prewar Europe, being captured, escaping and ultimately, adopting a new home in California.

“Money is very cheap; life is expensive. Be a mensch,” he said.

Wolpe led the fundraising appeal, which kicked off with Stanley Black of the Black Equities Group, who pledged $5 million to honor his late wife Joyce, and his generous contribution was quickly followed by many others.

Gehry was introduced by Patty Glaser, founding partner of Glaser Weil Fink Howard Avchen & Shapiro LLP. After receiving the award, he said: “When I was a kid, my grandfather read the Talmud to me and the word ‘Why’ stuck with me. I have been guided by that… take chances, take risks, be curious… I have a pretty good track record.

I’ve wanted to do a project in Israel. I will put my heart and soul into it.”

Set in Tel Aviv, the museum design is intended to be a gathering place that links the past to the present and yet, celebrates the future. The 5.5-acre parcel overlooks the Mediterranean and the Port of Tel Aviv alongside the city’s largest green belt. It is set on the banks of the Yarkon River at the northwestern edge of Hayarkon Park.

David Steinberg and Howie Mandel

The projected opening date is 2023, the 75th Anniversary of Israel’s Independence.

The museum’s six pavilions tell the story of the Jewish contributions and contributors, beginning with the origins and values that are at the core of Jewish identity through a series of pavilions leading to the last pavilion dedicated to the philosophy of responsibility for philanthropy and improving the world around us.

The World’s Jewish Museum is envisioned as a global-scale cultural institution with a positive, uplifting new message of and for the Jewish people, designed by a globally-recognized, Pritzker Prize-winning architect and located in Tel Aviv on a site befitting the legacy of a project and showcase for the ages.

The mission of the World’s Jewish Museum project is to create a distinctive experience with three pillars: the museum and cultural experience; education and outreach in Israel and the Diaspora; and research using its international platform to disseminate information to communities throughout the world.

City Manager, Mahdi Aluzri (who has just retired) approved the tree removal and sent out an email to City Councilmembers on the preceding Friday after City Hall had closed for the weekend.

The residential neighbors to the north and south of Santa Monica Boulevard were not informed of the illegal cutting, which was conducted during an intense Santa Ana wind condition.

Nor was the DTSC informed of the actions. There were no permits issued to close Santa Monica Boulevard. The trees were not only on private land, but also on the City’s right-of-way.

More importantly, City Hall did not protect the residents from the hazardous soil disturbed during the cutting and carried by the wind.

In addition, the Farmers’ Market was in progress on that Sunday when the winds and machinery whipped up the soil.

Calls poured into City Hall.

Then-Assistant Director of Community Services Nancy Hunt Coffey (now newly-promoted Assistant City Manager), was instructed to tell staff answering the phones to inform callers that the cutting was permitted, it was legal, it was safe and it was on private property.

An investigation ordered by the City Council and conducted by Parrent Smith Investigations determined that none of that was true.

BEVERLY HILLS

To date, no one has been held responsible for the violations.

The trees had served as a buffer for the homes to the south against the traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard, as well as providing a visual green belt.

The Union Pacific Railroad has agreed to fund the site mitigation, which is contaminated to 60 feet in depth, according to the DTSC. A Remedial Action Work Plan – or RAW plan – must be developed to mitigate the site. That will include a public process with community input.

At a public meeting months before the trees had been cut down, a RAW plan was proposed. Community members objected to any development at all, and strongly supported the preservation of the trees on that site.

However, the plan was prepared with a grossly inaccurate community profile in mind - including that there was an absence of residential development nearby and that the property was without vegetation.

The DTSC withdrew the RAW plan and will not prepare another RAW plan until there is a plan for development.

A RAW plan will be different depending upon the proposed use of the property. For example, it would be different for a preschool than for an asphalt parking lot, which is one purpose the site is currently zoned for.

The trees that were cut down are no longer a feature that must be considered in a RAW plan.

The soil has yet to be mitigated and no RAW plan is currently on file.

BV will have one student entrance along Elm Drive, with the following modifications agreed upon by City and District staff: • Modification of signs east of Elm Drive (between Gregory Way and Charleville Boulevard) to “3 minute passenger loading 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. except Sunday” to “No Parking, 7 am. to 9 am. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Passenger Loading Only, Except Saturday and Sunday”.

• Installation of tow away, no stopping zones between 7-9 a.m. and 2-4 p.m., except Saturday and Sunday, on the east side of Elm Drive to alleviate bottlenecks.

• Modification of signs north of westbound Gregory Way (between Rexford and Elm Drive) with no parking from 7-9 a.m. and 2-4 p.m., passenger loading only signs, except on weekends. The west half of the street currently has no parking from 7-9 a.m. and 14 p.m., while the east half is 4-hour parking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Modification of signs on the south side of eastbound Charleville Boulevard (between Elm and Rexford Drives) with no parking signs from 7-9 a.m. and 2-4 p.m., except on weekends. The block currently allows for 3hour parking from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except Sundays.

Horace Mann: At one of what will be the two new K-5 campuses, pickup and drop-off will be staggered by grade level. There’s one current student entrance along Charleville Boulevard, and discussions are underway about possibly adding a second entrance along Hamel Drive.

The following modifications have been agreed upon: • Modifying signage north of Charleville, between Hamel and South Robertson Boulevard, to read: “No Parking, 7 am. to 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Passenger Loading Only, Except Saturday and Sunday.” Currently, the block has 3-Minute passenger loading signs.

Hawthorne: For the other K-5 campus, pickup and drop-off will also be staggered by grade. The school’s student entrance is along Rexford Drive. The following changes have been agreed upon by City and District • Add “No Parking, 7 a.m. to 9 am. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Passenger Loading Only, Except Saturday and Sunday” signage to replace the current “3-minute passenger loading 7 am. to 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday” signs on Rexford.

• Installing “No Parking, 7 am. to 9 am. and 1-4 p.m., Passenger Loading Only, Except Saturday and Sunday’ on the south side of Elevado Avenue to create additional loading area.

Other potential modifications that were discussed between the City and School District for possible use in the future included adding “Tow-Away” symbols/language on signs and placement of removable “Move Forward” signs, similar to a temporary valet sign, to remind parents to stay in their vehicle while picking up or dropping off their children.

BHUSD Superintendent Michael Bregy told the commission that the district was planning a heavy outreach push to its school community this summer to inform parents about the changes.

Outreach will include videos and informational sheets sent to school families.

“It’s going to be a change in culture for us,” Bregy said.

Traffic and Parking Commissioner Jake Manaster, a former Board of Education member, said he was glad to see the district would be taking the step to educate the community about the changes.

Manaster said he anticipated the changes would bring about confusion for some parents, and even residents who live near the schools.

“If things go sideways, don’t leave it to us and staff at a City Council meeting to stand alone,” Manaster said, adding that the district would need to be available to inform parents “here’s what [problems] we’re aware of, and here’s what our plan is to mitigate it.”

The next steps for the City will be initiating local outreach to residents who live near the schools about the changes to signage.

All Is True–A Look At The Private Life Of William Shakespeare To be honest, a Shakespeare authority—I’m not. For me to write a review of Kenneth Branagh’s All Is True is akin to Kevin Hart playing Lebron James in a biopic of his life.

The film is obviously a labor of unadulterated love for the great bard of English literature, William Shakespeare.

Sir Branagh directs and also stars as the great playwright. He is his usually brilliant self as the bard, who has returned home in 1613 to his country estate in Stratford following his glory years just when his renowned Globe Theatre burns to the ground.

He is greeted by his standoffish wife, Anne Hathaway, played by Judi Dench with a frigidity reserved for a Kenmore refrigerator and Ian McKellen as Earl of Southampton. They are masterful playing their roles and speaking the scripted dialogue

by Ben Elton.

If only Mr. Elton inserted some dialogue from his popular English TV comedy Upstart

Cow, the film would not have seemed so long. As it is, the 101-minute drama moves like a snail caught in a snow storm ...

Jerry Cutler On Film which is sad because the script is highly intelligent and the entire cast, including the iconic three actors, are excellent.

But the subject matter of All Is True opens wounds of Shakespeare’s failure as a husband and father coupled with his beloved son’s passing as a young boy, is very dark.

In this day of modern film when pyro-technic effects overwhelm the motion picture screens, the film’s pace— although permeated with a highly literate script coupled with brilliant acting—does not stand a chance with a demanding American audience.

In 2017, Taylor Swift was granted a permit when she constructed 6.5-foot and 7-foot walls in front of her historic Beverly Hills home, which has been designated a local landmark, allowing for greater flexibility for the historic incentive.

That 1937 home belonged to Samuel Goldwyn and was designated a local monument in 2017.

Trump seems to have a penchant for the CanonRodeo-Sunset Boulevard area.

The Beverly Hills Hotel is reportedly the site of trysts with

“We’re proud to welcome such a diverse field of amazing cars to Rodeo Drive,” said Bruce Meyer, chairman of the Rodeo Drive Concours

d’Elegance. “The cars, the people, the food and shopping – you just can’t beat a Father’s Day on Rodeo Drive. It really is a great way to celebrate the occasion and bring the community together for a good cause.”

The Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance begins at 10 a.m. on Rodeo Drive.

Trump has denied all three claims.

In the same area, he previously owned a 15,000 square foot Greek Revival-inspired mansion adjacent on Rodeo Drive that he sold for a loss during his candidacy for president. He bought the home for $10.35 million in 2008 and sold it for $9.5 million in 2009.

That house reentered the market in 2013 for $29.9 million.

He also won 54 percent of

that precinct’s votes in the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton.

“It’s a beautiful home that our family enjoyed for many years,” said Eric Trump, vice president of the Trump Organization. “Given my father’s presidency and our hectic schedules, my family has not had the chance to enjoy the property in recent years and it has seen minimal use… It simply made sense to sell.”

The only other property Trump owns in Los Angeles is the Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes.

without a permit, endangering neighbors neighbors on Flicker Way with a compromised hillside. The parking pad has already been graded, illegally.

The owner’s representative, Murray Fischer, sought to characterize the grading as an honest mistake by his client, who had applied for a permit in Los Angeles that was denied because the properties are in Beverly Hills.

Before the end of meeting, Commissioner Peter Ostroff asked to go on record to refute that claim.

Speaking to Assistant Director of Community Development Ryan Gohlich, he asked when Owen had initially come to the City about the properties.

Gohlich

explained he had first been approached in 2010. Gohlich said that Owen had a concept design with a line between the Los Angeles side of the property and the three lots in Beverly Hills that he wanted to improve. In a letter written at the time, he stated that there was one lot in Los Angeles and three in Beverly Hills. The illegal grading was done 20152016.

“There is no dispute that he had no grading permit. It is a clear violation. Clearly,” said Ostroff, “there was no honest mistake. He knew it was in Beverly Hills and he tried to do an end run around the City.”

Owens is expected to remediate the property to its original state. He has 14 days to appeal the ADU, LLA and variances decision to the City Council.

Gibraltar Square - Kate Mantilini Landmark To Become Boutique Hotel, Restaurant

By Victoria Talbot Kate Mantilini, the distinguished building originally constructed in 1968 by Victor Gruen Associates and redesigned by legendary architects Thom Mayne and Michael Rotondi of Morphosis, could be resurrected as a new dining establishment adjacent to a boutique hotel in the Gibraltar Savings Building (Gruen, 1959) at 9101-9111 Wilshire Blvd.

The plan is to call the project “Gibraltar Square Hotel and Restaurant.”

Oakshire LLC, which is owned by Arman Gabay, officially submitted plans to the City for the hotel Wednesday.

The former corporate headquarters of Gibraltar Square Savings and Loan, the plan is to transform the office building into a 154-room hotel, pool, spa, fitness center, café and bar; Kate Mantilini will reopen as a restaurant.

The City of Beverly Hills declared the Gibraltar SquareKate Mantilini Buildings historic landmarks No. 30 in 2016.

“When the opportunity to purchase these beautiful buildings came our way, we jumped

at the chance because they are architectural treasures of Beverly Hills,” said Gabay.

“We take our responsibility as stewards of these historic landmarks seriously, and we are undertaking this project to ensure that they live on for future generations to enjoy. The project will not just extend the functional life of these treasured buildings, but will also serve as a better neighbor to our neighbors.”

Lisa Pauli of OfficeUntitled, formerly known as R&A Architects, is the architect.

The interior has not been designed yet, said Pauli, but the exterior façade, which is protected, will be restored. A pool deck is set to be on top of the banking hall on Oakhurst Drive, respecting the privacy of the neighbors to the north. The roof will feature a dropped parapet height as high as the guard rail so guests will not be able to see over the plants.

There will be a pool café one level below the mezzanine and a spa for hotel guests.

Plans also call for opening up and restoring the building’s original entryway and exterior

character with improvements that will replace the exterior glazing and plaza hardscape, and upgrade the landscape.

The result is intended to create a better pedestrian experience from the street level.

The firm is currently designing more than 4 million square feet of property, including The Cayton Children’s Museum in Santa Monica, offices for BCG-Digital

Ventures in London, The AVA Arts District in Los Angeles, and a masterplan for Summit Powder Mountain in Utah.

The plan is intended to adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s strict standards for historic preservation. The adaptive reuse will fully restore the monument and the architectural elements that are protected within the restaurant space creating the hotel within.

The plans come as the City is gearing up for the eventual completion of Metro’s Purple Line Extension on Wilshire at La Cienega and Rodeo Drive.

“Now is the time to revive the eastern edge of Wilshire Boulevard,” said Gabay. “This project will create much-needed street life and excitement in this long-overlooked part of the City.”

The celebration continues in the courtyard with Guinness and live music by Rattle the

Illusionist Ivan Amodei Bringing Secrets & Illusions to Glendale Illusionist and winner of Penn & Teller’s Fool Us, Ivan Amodei will bring his show, Secrets & Illusions to the Alex Theatre for a 7:30 p.m. performance, Monday, June 22.

“I’m excited about this new show,” says Amodei. “It’s unlike any other magic show you have ever seen. It’s filled with brain-games, puzzles, tons of audience participation, storytelling, comedy, and accompanied by a concert violinist throughout the two-hour rollercoaster ride.“ No two shows are ever alike because the audience determines the outcomes and direction they Ivan Amodei want it to go.

Set on the dark and deserted streets of Paris, attendees enter a version of the Louvre Museum, where musical muse escorts them through galleries, while Amodei uncovers mysteries deep inside the priceless works of art, one illusion at a time.

“What I especially love about this show are the uplifting messages about humanity and life throughout each piece,” said Amodei.

Attendees will witness a game of Russian Roulette with a 12-inch Bowie hunting knife and a guest having to face his or her greatest fear. They will see a person track down love in the most unexpected place, discover how the laws of attraction help an audience member find how to make the right choices in life and witness time stop for the entire audience.

“This show will ultimately inspire, encourage and motivate you to discover your destiny,” declares Amodei. “The goal of a beautifully performed illusion should not just to fool, but leave a permanent memory on your soul.”

The Alex Theatre is at 216 N Brand Blvd., Glendale. Visit wow.Ivanhoe.coma to purchase tickets, ranging from $45-$85.

Richard Shelton

Following a critically acclaimed sell-out London run in 2019, Sinatra: RAW is making its L.A. premiere at 8 p.m., Sunday, June 30, under the stars at the S. Mark Taper Amphitheatre, the home of TreePeople, 12601 Mulholland Dr., Beverly Hills, as part of the “Once Upon a Canyon Night” theatre series.

Starring Richard Shelton the one-man play takes place in Palm Springs in 1971 as Frank Sinatra prepares for his last intimate, pre-retirement show.

Sinatra drinks One For My Baby too many and starts to reminisce when things take an unexpected turn,” Shelton says. “This is the 2 a.m. Sinatra you dream of meeting.”

Multi-award nominated British actor and singer Shelton has had an acclaimed international career spanning theatre music, TV and movies.

F

ew events in Beverly Hills bring as much joy, love, happiness and community camaraderie as the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance.

It’s an event that I proudly played a large part in starting, and I am thrilled to see it continuing on as successfully as it has, now celebrating its 26th year in Beverly Hills.

Each year, the event seems to just get bigger and bigger.

Some 30,000 families annually will brave the heat and walk up and down Rodeo Drive to sneak a peek at some of the rarest, most eye-popping vehicles ever created.

And certainly, the cars are what bring us all to Rodeo Drive for Father’s Day, but what it’s really all about, is who you experience it with.

The smiling fathers with their children (whether of the human or animal variety) get to enjoy a special day just for them. We all lead busy lives, but it’s wonderful to get to stop, enjoy a few hours on

Rodeo Drive with your loved ones and celebrate friends, family and amazing cars.

We hope that once you’ve had your fill of all the amazing cars, that line Rodeo Drive on Sunday (along with all the delicious food), you’ll enjoy this summer 2019 edition of Beverly Hills Style.

Have a wonderful Father’s Day, a fantastic summer and thank you for reading Beverly Hills Style.

Sincerely, Marcia Wilson Hobbs

The highlights of this class will be four of the most important vehicles in Bentley’s catalog, including a 1927 Bentley 3/4.5 Litre Le Mans Special, a 1928 Bentley 4.5 Litre, a 1960 Bentley S2 Continental, and the world’s most accurate recreation of the historic 1930 Bentley “Blue Train.”

Bentley has deep roots in the history of luxury automobiles.

In 1998, Bentley/Rolls-Royce Motors was purchased by Volkswagen, which subsequently spent around $845 million to modernize the Bentley factory and increase production capacity.

Of course, Bentley is far from the only featured vehicle on hand Sunday, June 16 for the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance.

Among the celebrities in attendance will be comedian Jeff Dunham with his 1992 Batmobile from the film Batman Returns.

The 21-foot long car will be joined by a one-off wasteland car powered by the jet engine from a 1959 Fouga Magister fighter, a Kode57 designed by Ken Okuyama, and an exact replica of the 1935 Bugatti Aerolithe.

Bentley Motors was founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley in Cricklewood, North London, and rose in popularity after winning the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1924, 1927-30, and 2003.

Over the decades, Bentley became known for its legendary models, such as the historic sports-racing Bentley 4½ Litre and Bentley Speed Six, along with the Bentley R Type Continental, Bentley Turbo R, and Bentley Arnage; in addition to its current model line—including the Continental Flying Spur, Continental GT, Bentley Bentayga and

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Maserati, BMW Performance Center, BMW Beverly Hills, and Compass.

“We’re proud to welcome such a diverse field of amazing cars to Rodeo Drive,” said Bruce Meyer, Chairman of the Rodeo Drive Concours d’Elegance.

“The cars, the people, the food and shopping – you just can’t beat a Father’s Day on Rodeo Drive. It really is a great way to celebrate the occasion and bring the community together for a good cause.”

The Rodeo Drive Concours will benefit the Beverly Hills Police Foundation through the sale of merchandise and water.

Proceeds are given to the foundation to help Police families in times of need, offering assistance for everything from emergency flights to life-saving surgeries.

In the 26 years since its beginnings in Beverly Hills, the Rodeo Drive Concours has become one of the most eagerly awaited annual events in Los Angeles. Considered a Father’s Day tradition for many Angelinos, the show offers a unique blend for car lovers and their families.

CLASSIC CARS

AUTO VAULT STORAGE

Inside The Underground World Of Rare, Exotic Vehicles On Rodeo Drive

L

ike many people across the country, Scot Prescott grew up as a kid with dreams of moving to Los Angeles and making it big under the bright lights of Hollywood.

Unlike most, however, Prescott’s goals had nothing to do with becoming a famous celebrity. His ambitions were much simpler.

“I just wanted to move out to California and work on cool cars,” Prescott said. “It seemed like Los Angeles was the place you had to be if you were a car guy.”

Growing up in a New Hampshire town of 728 people, Prescott – who owns Auto Vault Storage on Rodeo Drive – lived vicariously through the magazines and television shows he saw that depicted a vibrant, exciting car scene in Southern California.

“You would see scenes of these car shows along Van Nuys Boulevard,” Prescott told Beverly Hills Style. “That was the goal, to get out here and get to those car shows and get myself around all these amazing vehicles.”

So, Prescott set out to make it happen. Just like so many who have come to Hollywood chasing their dreams, Prescott graduated high school and then promptly loaded all his belongings into a car and, with $70 to his name, made the trek across country and found his way to Southern California.

At that point, in the 1970s, a business like Auto Vault, an

underground garage which gives temporary homes to some of the rarest and most expensive cars in the world, was the furthest thing from Prescott’s mind. Upon his arrival in town, Prescott’s ultimate goal was to revolutionize the car wash business.

Prescott got his start detailing cars for a Galpin Ford dealership in San Fernando and by 1979, he was hired on at a dealership in Sylmar, where the owner let him detail cars and live rentfree in a trailer on the lot. The catch was that he had to double as the dealership’s security guard.

“The owner gave me a gun and so it was my job to make sure nothing happened on the lot,” Prescott said. “After a couple of incidents with people hopping the fence to get on the lot, I realized I needed to get out of there.”

In his time detailing cars, Prescott had made enough connections to branch out and start what he felt was his true calling – a mobile car wash service. By 1979, he was driving around Southern California, led by his trusty Thomas Guide, going from home-to-home and businessto-business, detailing cars for what became a rapidly growing list of clients.

Within a few years, Prescott had amassed a crew with four different trucks to traverse Los Angeles and wash cars, but as the business grew, so did the expenses.

“It got into this cycle where I couldn’t stop, the clients were increasing but so were all the costs,” Prescott says.

Those struggles began to shape how Auto Vault in its current iteration came to be.

In an effort to cut down on travel costs, Prescott made his move into Beverly Hills and was able to cut a deal to lease underground parking space in the Rodeo Collection and began offering free washes to customers who had purchased long-term travel wash contracts that Prescott had been unable to fulfill.

With a home base set, a friend of Prescott’s, who worked as a mechanic, broached the idea of adding a car restoration element to the business. Their first customer drove a 1949 Bentley convertible down from Palm Springs to be fully restored.

“We had no idea what we were doing. We had no clue how to actually restore a car,” Prescott admitted.

So, in an effort to expand their business, the two men put themselves

through a little self-education.

They set up a camera and filmed themselves taking apart the Bentley, every detailed step of the way, so they would have video evidence of exactly how to put it all back together once they were done.

“It was a little trial and error, but we knew the most important thing was getting this car restored the way the customer wanted it, and so we were going to do whatever it took,” Prescott said.

Eventually, the restoration was completed and the client was thrilled. Word of mouth spread, and more restoration projects started falling into Prescott’s lap, and as time wore on, his business turned into a sort of one-stop shop for all car storage and maintenance needs.

“Our job is taking care of your car if you can’t, or just don’t want to do it,” Prescott said. The restoration and car wash aspect of the business has morphed into full service, round-the-clock vehicle care.

Auto Vault offers a wide variety of pricing plans that can be tailored to the needs of the car owner, with various storage packages from monthto-month, to 6-12 months and longer, with all the bells and whistles – car wash and detail, gas fill-up, tire pressure checks, engine service and

maintenance, DMV license and registration, battery monitoring and much more, all inside a climate-controlled underground environment.

“We’ve got many customers whom I’ve never even met, I’ve only communicated with them or their assistant over email,” Prescott said.

“But they trust us with their vehicles, and that’s a responsibility I don’t take lightly.”

Several years ago, Prescott’s operation moved out of the Rodeo Collection, across the street, to the third underground level at 440 N. Rodeo Dr. Some of Prescott’s favorite vehicles that have come through the garage include a Lamborghini Diablo, Carrera GT and Mercedes Benz SLR. “You name it, we’ve probably seen it in our garage; we’ve seen the best of the best when it comes to exclusive cars,” Prescott said. “I just hope people understand that when you leave your car here, I’m treating it as if it’s my own car. I’m giving it the same love, care and attention that I would give my own personal family vehicle.”

THE PUPPY MAN

Putting A Young Face On Philanthropy In Beverly Hills Beverly Hills resident Julian Javor finds unique ways to give back

I

t’s Tuesday afternoon at Roxbury Park. Music floats through the Community Center. The thin tenor of elderly voices lift in songs from their youth, accompanied by music from an array of musicians, including Rotarian and bandleader Steven Weinglass and Rotary Club of Beverly Hills President and Health and Safety Commissioner Myra Lurie.

Julian Javor sits at the piano playing an array of big-band hits and mellow jazz from the 1940s. Javor is a star. He brings his winning smile and extensive catalogue to a too-oft forgotten population. He’s hip-deep in philanthropy, which he takes personally and carries out with hands-on participation.

While his family’s foundation has contributed liberally to City charities, Javor is not one to simply donate money or raise funds; Javor uses his acumen and education to contribute more, to really make a difference.

Music Mends Minds was first introduced as a project of the Rotary Club by Lurie and Weinglass, a professional musician. It is a public charity that supports patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injury, stroke and PTSD through the healing power of music and the power of community.

Recognizing an opportunity to engage his love of music for a really good cause, Javor jumped in.

That is how he does it. He sees a need that speaks to his talents and dives in.

Perched at the piano, he takes on the persona of an old-school crooner, enticing guests to sing along, playing on their selected percussion instruments. It’s hard to say who is having more fun.

Once a month, he will swap out the piano for a seat on the dais at City Hall.

At 27, Javor is one of the City’s youngest commissioners, currently serving as vice chair of the Recreation and Parks Commission, making decisions regarding City services for parks, recreation and community services for all ages, including after school programs, summer camps, aquatic programs, and several programs for older adults.

Residents apply and then are selected by members of the City Council and the commission. They serve as volunteers to help shape the City’s policies.

With City staff, they make recommendations to the City Council about issues affecting their commission.

Javor has also reached out to students in Beverly Hills.

On a recent evening, Javor and his mother hosted their annual dinner for two of the City’s most recent National Merit Scholarship finalists. A National Merit Scholar himself, Javor wanted to honor students who have achieved the distinction. He set up an award dinner with a scholarship attached as a way for the community to acknowledge the hard work it takes to become a National Merit Scholarship finalist. Julian Javor (pictured above, center) has been given the name “Puppy Man” for Last week, at his volunteer work flying rescue dogs in his private plane.

Henry, Arline Gluck Hope To Leave Lasting Legacy With UCLA Mobile Stroke Unit

F

or Henry and Arline Gluck, philanthropy is a way of life.

So when Henry – a longtime member of the Board of Advisors of the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center – was approached with the opportunity to fund UCLA Health’s new Mobile Stroke Unit, which launched in 2016, it was an easy decision.

“We are saving lives with this vehicle, literally saving lives and we’re seeing immediate proof of that,” Gluck told Beverly Hills Style. “We have devices in this van that are the first remedy for a stroke.

Ordinarily, you need to get someone to the hospital within two hours of a stroke. With these procedures we have on the stroke unit, you save 45 minutes by applying them before you get to the hospital.”

Gluck was born in Germany, and came to the United States at age 9. He did

After returning home, Gluck founded M o n o g r a m Industries, which sold industrial products and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Among Henry’s many philanthropic endeavors include serving on the board of the Salk Foundation, the USC Gerontology Center, City of Hope, and CedarsSinai Medical Center, and he has been a donor to the Los Angeles Jewish Home and Veterans Park Conservancy.

Henry’s curiosity was piqued when UCLA Health came to him with information about a miniature scanner that had been developed in Hamburg, Germany that could be placed into a vehicle and could act as the first remedy against a stroke.

In America, someone will have a stroke roughly every 40 seconds. Nearly every four minutes, one of those people will die of a stroke.

“We know from research at UCLA that in a typical stroke, every minute that goes by without treatment, 2 million brain cells die,” said Dr.

May Nour, medical director of the UCLA Arline and Henry Gluck Stroke Rescue Program.

The Mobile Stroke Unit, which is now authorized to operate inside Beverly Hills city limits, is an ambulance equipped with a mobile CT scanner, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat strokes anywhere. There is also a mobile blood testing lab, as well as a traveling neurologist, nurse, CT technologist and paramedic.

“If we’re remembered for saving lives, that’s really a fine thing to be remembered for, and you can’t ask for much more than that,” Gluck said. “I truly believe in finding your thank yous from within. Don’t do things for validation or accolades. Do it because it’s the right thing to do, and I truly believe we are changing the world with the Mobile Stroke Unit.”

THE SABAN AND THE SORTING ROOM

Even With Subway Construction Disruptions, The Saban Theatre Sets Rockin’ Summer D espite the trials and tribulations of having a location in the heart of subway construction, The Beverly Hills Temple of the Arts’ Saban Theatre is planning a rockin’ summer for fans, with comedians and iconic acts.

“Yes it’s been difficult with some audiences and performers not wanting to deal with the disruptions,” says Rabbi David Baron, founding rabbi of the Temple of the Arts, “but we’re continuing on,” and he encourages audiences to take advantage of performances and other programs that fill the theater.

From the outset, Baron’s plan was to have a home for his congregation, a performing arts center for the community and to continually restore the temple’s home.

For 13 years, Baron had asked the Nederlander Organization to buy what was then The Wilshire Theatre where the congregation met.

“Mr. Nederlander said, ‘Rabbi we buy theaters, we don’t sell

them,’” Baron recalled.

Then, in 2005, when the Shubert Theatre in Century City closed and the organization no longer needed a second venue in town, it agreed to sell the 1930 Art Deco, 1,900 seat L.A. landmark—and restoration began. Leading theater restoration company EverGreene Architectural Arts revived the silver, gold and black proscenium and gothic-style organ screens.

So after much renovation already to the two-story columned rotunda and more planned for the lobby, it’s no wonder Baron is concerned about Metro’s work which could cause cracks at the least and sinking at the worst.

Today, the temple is a home for members to experience their faith through music, drama, art, dance and film and a nonprofit cultural center, the Beverly Hills Performing Arts Center, designed to appeal to all.

COMBAT SPORTS & HEALTHY EATS

Grapple Your Way Into Shape With Mixed Martial Arts

A

s the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has grown in massive popularity, so has the accessibility of the sport to the mainstream audience.

World-renowned superstars like Conor McGregor have helped broaden the appeal of the UFC - a combat sport company centered around mixed martial arts (MMA), which is defined as a combat contest where competitors are able to use fighting techniques such as boxing, wrestling and martial arts like kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo and karate.

That broader appeal has brought about a unique opportunity for anyone to learn mixed martial arts, as more and more MMA studios have begun cropping up in and around the Los Angeles area in recent years.

Mixed martial arts training is a full-body workout. Constant movement, pushing, pulling, and grappling is involved, and it’s a fantastic way to get, or stay in shape, while learning a new and important discipline.

Here are some local options for those interested in trying out mixedmartial arts.

The Gracie name is synonymous with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), as the Gracie family is widely credited with its creation.

Carlos Gracie opened the first Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Brazil in 1925 with his brother Hélio. By 1978, Hélio’s son Rorion Gracie brought

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to the United States, opening the first academy on American soil in Torrance.

Rorion’s sons, Rener and Ryron, have helped lead a worldwide expansion of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, including moving the Torrance academy into a much larger, warehouse-like building, with the creation of Gracie University.

Gracie Academy opened in Beverly Hills in 2012 at 324 S. Beverly Dr. as part of the Gracie family’s expansion throughout Southern California.

Gracie Academy offers several programs for everyone from beginners to experts. Gracie Combatives teaches 36 core techniques in a safe environment with one-hour lessons addressing standing and ground techniques.

The Master Cycle program is a systemic Jiu-Jitsu program aimed at taking participants all the way from blue belt to black belt, focusing on intricacies of Jiu-Jitsu, with honed-in lessons on moves such as the mount, side mount, guard, half-guard, back mount, leg locks and standing techniques.

The Women Empowered class is a self-defense program for women, teaching the physical tools needed to combat against common threats against women.

For children aged 5-12, the Gracie Bullyproof program is a confidence and character-building class where kids will learn verbal assertiveness skills and non-violent self-defense

techniques to help protect themselves.

“We specialize in teaching students with no previous experience,” Rener Gracie said when the academy opened, adding that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was designed for “small, weak individuals to empower themselves against stronger, larger opponents.”

The Academy Beverly Hills

The Academy is a studio that focuses on two distinct styles of mixed-martial arts – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Systema.

Taught by Martin Wheeler, a fourth-degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and a black belt in Judo, Systema is an ancient Russian martial art that has been adapted for use in modern warfare by the Russian Special Operations and Soviet Spy Network.

The art, according to Wheeler, is focused on hand-to-hand combat and defense against various weapons, and is based on "instinctive reactions, individual strengths, and is great for those who learn fast."

What’s On Your Plate?

Dishing On Three Of 2019’s Trendiest, Health-Conscious Diets

D

eciding it’s time to go on a diet is just the first step.

The hard part begins when it gets down to figuring out which of the many, many diets out there to actually choose from.

Here are three trendy diets making headlines this year, and what you should know

BEVERLY HILLS

about each.

The Whole30

Created by Melissa Hartwig, this 30-day diet was designed as an elimination diet to help people better understand how certain foods affect their bodies – both physically and mentally.

The premise of the diet is

fairly simple – eat real food, nothing processed – but actually carrying it out means strictly reading the nutrition label of everything purchased at the grocery store.

That means no real or artificial sugar, no alcohol (even for cooking), no grains (including oatmeal and cere-

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes are taught by Rigan Machado, an eighthdegree red and black belt who learned under Carlos Gracie Jr. Rigan is an eight-time World Jiu-Jitsu champion.

Morning and evening classes are available, as is private training.

The Academy Beverly Hills is located at 8621 Wilshire Blvd.

Z-Ultimate Studios

Defense

Z-Ultimate Self Defense is a onestop shop for several different forms of mixed-martial arts and self-defense, with classes in jiu-jitsu, karate and kung fu for adults, teenagers and children.

Available programs include Karate for Kids, Self-Defense for Teens and Adult Karate. There is also an expert black belt program.

Z-Ultimate Self Defense is located at 8950 W. Olympic Blvd., Ste. 109.

al), no legumes, no dairy, no MSG or sulfites, and absolutely zero baked goods or junk food.

Although it may sound like there’s not much left to actually eat after reading that, there actually are plenty of options. On the Whole30, one can still have all the meat, eggs, seafood, vegetables, herbs, spices and seasonings they can handle.

Fruit is also allowed to satiate that sweet tooth, although it’s suggested (not a rule, but a recommendation) that fruit is eaten sparingly, and never as a snack, to stop people from mentally using it as a crutch to replace sweets.

Ketogenic Diet

Self

The Keto diet skyrocketed in popularity in 2018 and is a popular diet option.

Keto requires a drastic reduction in carbohydrate intake, replacing carbs with fat, which forces the body into a state of ketosis (where one

burns fat instead of carbohydrates for energy).

Keto forces dieters to be strict about their food intake, because foods traditionally thought to be healthy – such as quinoa, apples or brown rice – can wind up taking up all or most of a person’s daily carb allotment.

The Paleo Diet

Affectionately known as the “Caveman Diet,” Paleo has many similarities to Keto, but also has its share of differences.

The Paleo diet is a bit less restrictive than Keto. On Paleo, refined sugar, potatoes, dairy, legumes, grains and refined sugars are banned. Paleo is also low on carbs, but it’s aim is not to bring the body into a state of ketosis.

Paleo focuses on seafood, fresh fruits and vegetables, grass-fed meats, eggs, nuts, seeds and oils from healthy fat sources.

BEVERLY HILLS

PUBLIC NOTICES ORDINANCE NO. 19-O-2783 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING ARTICLE 21 OF CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 4 OF THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT THE RETAIL SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE PARAPHERNALIA, AND MAKING A FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT WHEREAS, tobacco use causes death and disease and continues to be an urgent public health threat, as evidenced by the fact that 480,000 people die prematurely in the United States from smoking-related diseases every year, making tobacco use the leading cause of preventable death. Tobacco use can cause disease in nearly all organ systems and is responsible for 87 percent of lung cancer deaths, 79 percent of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths, and 32 percent of coronary heart disease deaths. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco accounts for the greatest cause of death worldwide accounting for nearly 6 million deaths per year.

WHEREAS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disability in the United States, despite a significant decline in the number of people who smoke. Over 16 million Americans have at least one disease caused by smoking.

WHEREAS, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, secondhand smoke causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults; in addition, it increases risks for sudden infant death syndrome, middleear disease, respiratory symptoms, and slows lung growth in children.

WHEREAS, tobacco use leads to more than $300 billion in health care and lost worker productivity costs each year.

WHEREAS, the City Council of Beverly Hills recognizes that the use of tobacco products has devastating health and economic consequences.

WHEREAS, the City Council of Beverly Hills recognizes that young people are particularly susceptible to the addictive properties of tobacco products, and are particularly likely to become lifelong users.

WHEREAS, an estimated 5.6 million youth aged 0 to 17 are projected to die prematurely from a tobacco-related illness if prevalence rates do not change.

WHEREAS, national data show that about 95 percent of adult smokers begin smoking before they turn 21. The ages of 18 to 21 are a critical period when many smokers move from experimental smoking to regular, daily use.

WHEREAS, in an undercover operation conducted in 2018, close to half of the tobacco retailers that are operating in Beverly Hills sold tobacco products to persons under the age of 21 in violation of both State law and Beverly Hills Municipal Code section 4-2-2109.

WHEREAS, despite the City’s ban on smoking tobacco products in certain designated areas of the City, in February 2019, the City’s Ambassador Program reported 397 incidents of individuals smoking in prohibited areas in violation of local law. The City Council anticipates that reducing access to tobacco products in the City will lead to less people smoking these products and increased compliance with the City’s smoking regulations.

WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City Council of the City of Beverly Hills to

provide for the public’s health, safety, and welfare in part by protecting youth from commencing the inherently dangerous activity of smoking, and protecting the public health and safety of the general public, while balancing business interests of existing City businesses.

WHEREAS, cigar lounges do not permit persons under the age of 21 to enter the premises and only those persons that want to be exposed to second hand smoke patronize these locations. If cigar lounges were not permitted to sell tobacco products, these businesses would be forced to go out of business.

WHEREAS, the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau, Rodeo Drive Committee and the Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce has informed staff that in the summer of 2018, approximately 80% of the City’s guests were from cities outside of the United States, and from countries where smoking is still popular.

The City Council therefore needs to balance the public health and safety concerns that warrant banning the sale of tobacco products against the reality that such a ban in hotels could deter prominent dignitaries and other international tourists from staying at the City’s hotels, and could greatly impact the tourist industry in the City. The City Council finds that the public health will be protected by ensuring that, after a limited period of time, tobacco products will not be made available to the general public and will not be displayed in a manner that is easily accessible to hotel guests.

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Code Amendment.

Section 1.

Section 4-2-2101 (PURPOSE) of Article 21 (TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER PERMITTING REGULATIONS) of Chapter 2 (REGULATORY BUSINESS PERMITS) of Title 4 (REGULATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND ACTIVITIES) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: “The City Council recognizes the inherent danger of tobacco products and that the use of tobacco products has devastating health and economic consequences. The City Council further recognizes that tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States, and that tobacco product use is started and established primarily during adolescence.

Allowing tobacco products to be sold in the City increases access to these harmful and dangerous products and does not promote the City’s image as a healthy city. To that end, no tobacco products shall be sold in the City except as specifically enumerated below.

For those limited number of tobacco and electronic cigarette retailers that will be permitted to operate in the City, the City Council seeks to encourage responsible tobacco and electronic cigarette retailing and to discourage violations of tobacco and electronic cigarette related laws, especially those that discourage the sale or distribution of electronic cigarettes, tobacco and nicotine products to minors.”

Section 2.

Section 4-2-2102 (DEFINITIONS) of Article 21 (TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER PERMITTING REGULATIONS) of Chapter 2 (REGULATORY BUSINESS PERMITS) of Title 4 (REGULATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND ACTIVITIES) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows, with all other provisions of Section 4-2-2102 remaining unchanged: “CIGAR LOUNGE: a retail or wholesale

tobacco shop that (1) contains an enclosed area in or attached to the retail or wholesale tobacco shop that is dedicated to the use of cigars and pipes, (2) does not sell cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping products or flavored tobacco products, and (3) only permits patrons who are 21 years of age or older to enter the premises.”

“TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER (sometimes referred to as RETAILER): Any person or business that operates a store, stand, booth, concession or other place at which the person or business sells, offers for sale, or exchanges or offers to exchange for any form of consideration, tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia.”

“TOBACCO PRODUCT: Includes: a) any product containing, made, or derived from tobacco or nicotine that is intended for human consumption, including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillo, pipe tobacco, snuff, chewing tobacco, and smokeless tobacco; and b) any electronic cigarette.

“Tobacco product” does not include a drug, device, or combination product authorized for sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration as a tobacco use cessation product.”

Code Amendment.

It shall be unlawful for any person to sell a tobacco product or tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia in the City without first obtaining a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit.

B. It shall be unlawful for any person to act as a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer without first obtaining and maintaining a valid tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit pursuant to this article for each location at which that activity is to occur.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 1, article 1 of this title (“general provisions”), the issuance, suspension, and revocation of a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit, and all related procedures, shall be governed solely by this article.

D. Failure to obtain a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit prior to commencing the sale of tobacco products, or tobacco or electronic cigarette paraphernalia, shall constitute a separate violation of this section for each day such business is carried on without a permit.

E. Beginning May 21, 2019, the City shall not issue any new tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permits except as set forth in Section 4-2-2115 and 4-2-2116.”

Code Amendment.

Section 4.

Section 4-2-2104 (APPLICATION PROCESS) of Article 21 (TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER PERMITTING REGULATIONS) of Chapter 2 (REGULATORY BUSINESS PERMITS) of Title 4 (REGULATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND ACTIVITIES) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended to add a new subsection “D” to read as follows, with all other provisions of Section 4-2-2104 remaining unchanged: “D. Beginning May 21, 2019, the City shall not accept or process an appli-

cation for a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit, except in compliance with Sections 4-2-2115 or 4-22116.”

Section 5.

Code Amendment.

Section 4-2-2106 (ISSUANCE AND RENEWAL OF PERMIT) of Article 21 (TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER PERMITTING REGULATIONS) of Chapter 2 (REGULATORY BUSINESS PERMITS) of Title 4 (REGULATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND ACTIVITIES) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows: “A. Upon receipt of both the application for a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit and the permit fee, the Director of Finance or his or her designee, shall issue a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit to the extent allowed pursuant to Sections 4-22115 or 4-2-2116 unless: 1.

The proprietor has not obtained a valid State tobacco and/or electronic cigarette retailer permit, as applicable, from the California Board of Equalization: If such permits are not issued by the California Board of Equalization for electronic cigarette retailers, then failure to obtain a permit from the California Board of Equalization shall not be grounds for denial of an application to sell electronic cigarettes pursuant to a tobacco and electronic cigarette permit from the City; 5.

The City has information that the applicant or his or her agents or employee(s) has violated any local, State or Federal tobacco or electronic cigarette control law at the location for which the permit or renewal of the permit is sought within the preceding thirty (30) day period.

B. A tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit shall be valid for one year and must be renewed not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the permit, but no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the permit.

A tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit is nontransferable and is valid only for the person(s) and location specified in the permit application. If a permittee changes business location, that permittee must obtain a new permit prior to acting as a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer at the new location.

Section 10. Code Amendment. A new Section 4-2-2115 (EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS) is hereby added to Article 21 (TOBACCO AND ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE RETAILER PERMITTING REGULATIONS) of Chapter 2 (REGULATORY BUSINESS PERMITS) of Title 4 (REGULATION OF CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES AND ACTIVITIES) of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code to read as follows: “A. Notwithstanding any section to the contrary, a cigar lounge that is operating in compliance with State law and that holds a valid tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit on March 25, 2019 may apply annually to renew an existing tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer permit, and said application shall be approved if all criteria set forth in Section 4-2-2106 is satisfied.

Any permittee, other than cigar lounges and hotels, that wishes to operate a tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer on or after January 1, 2021, may apply for one hardship exemption as provided for in this section.

B. A permittee must submit a complete application for a hardship exemption at least ninety (90) days before the permit is set to expire, but no sooner than six months before the permit is set to expire. Such application shall be made in writing on a form prescribed by the Director of Finance and shall be accompanied by the filing fee established by resolution of the City Council.

The permittee shall bear the burden of proof in establishing by a preponderance of the evidence, that the application of Section 4-2-2115 to the permittee’s business is unreasonable, and will cause significant hardship to the permittee by not allowing the permittee to recover his or her investment backed expectations. The permittee applying for the exemption shall furthermore be required, in order to meet its burden of proof, to submit the documents set forth in this section.

C. A complete application for a hardship exemption shall include the following: 1.

The permittee’s name and street address of business; 2.

The address to which notice is to be mailed, at the permittee’s option, a telephone number and/or email address; 3.

The permittee’s signature;

4.

A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that all the information in the application is true and correct; 5.

The term of the requested extension; 6.

Documentation relevant to the information requested in subsection (D) of this Section; and 7.

The required filing fee.

D. In determining whether to grant a hardship exemption to the permittee, and in determining the appropriate length of time that the permittee will be authorized to continue to operate as a retailer, the hearing officer, or City Council on appeal by the applicant, may consider, among other factors: 1.

The percentage of the retail sales over the last three years that have been derived from tobacco products and tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia; 2.

The amount of investment in the business; 3.

The present actual and depreci-

ated value of any business improvements dedicated to the retail sale of tobacco products and tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia; 4.

The applicable Internal Revenue Service depreciation schedule or functional non-confidential equivalent; 5.

The remaining useful life of the business improvements that are dedicated to the sale of tobacco products and tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia; 6.

The remaining lease term of the business, if any; 7.

The ability of the tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer to sell other products; 8.

The opportunity for relocation of the business and the cost of relocation; and 9.

A business plan demonstrating how long the business will need to sell tobacco products and tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia to recoup any investment backed expectations, and a plan for phasing out the sale of those products.

E. The hardship exemption hearing shall be conducted by an Administrative Hearing Officer appointed pursuant to Section 1-3-317 of this Code and shall be conducted pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4-22113. Written notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing to the permittee by the City either by causing a copy of such notice to be delivered to the permittee personally or by mailing a copy thereof, postage prepaid, addressed to the permittee at the address shown on the hardship exemption application.

F. Within forty-five (45) days after a completed application is filed, the hearing officer shall open the hearing on the hardship exemption. The hearing officer shall receive and consider evidence presented by the permittee, and shall determine whether to grant or deny the hardship exemption, and if granting the hardship exemption, the length of time that the tobacco and electronic cigarette retailer will be permitted to operate. The hearing officer shall make written findings in support of the decision.

The decision of the hearing officer shall be final and conclusive, unless a timely and complete appeal is filed by the applicant with the City Clerk pursuant to subsection (G) of this Section.

G. Any decision of the hearing officer may be appealed by the applicant by filing a complete notice of appeal with the City Clerk within fifteen (15) days after notice of the decision was mailed to the applicant. To be deemed complete, the notice of appeal shall be signed by the applicant, shall state the grounds for disagreement with the decision of the hearing officer, and shall be accompanied by the filing fee established by resolution of the City Council.

H. Failure of any person to file a timely appeal in accordance with the provisions of this section shall constitute an irrevocable waiver of the right to an administrative hearing and a final adjudication of the hardship exemption.

I. A retailer may continue to sell tobacco, tobacco products, or tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia while a hardship exemption application is pending before a hearing officer or on appeal to the City Council.

J. Only those matters or issues specifically raised by the appellant in the appeal notice shall be considered in the hearing of the appeal.”

PUBLIC NOTICES Section 12. CEQA. The City Council hereby finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(2) which provides that a project does include general policy and procedure making. The adoption of this Ordinance is also not a project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5) which provides that a project does not include organizational and administrative action of government which will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

In the alternative, the City Council finds that if the adoption of the Ordinance is a project, it is subject to exemption. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption of this Ordinance will have a significant adverse effect on the environment because the Ordinance prohibits the sale of tobacco products. The adoption of the this Ordinance is therefore exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the Ordinance is covered by the general rule common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

The adoption of this Ordinance is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 which exempts minor alterations in land use limitations. This Class 5 exemption consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density.

Here, tobacco products and tobacco and electronic cigarette paraphernalia shall not be permitted to be sold by certain tobacco and electronic cigarette retailers after a specified date, and the areas where these retailers operate have an average slope of less than 20%. Additionally, the adoption of the Ordinance will not change land uses because the permitted use is retail and will be after the Ordinance takes effect.

Moreover, the adoption of the Ordinance will not result in any changes in density because it is not altering the uses permitted on the land. Staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption with the Los Angeles County Clerk.

Section 13. City Council review.

Staff is hereby directed that within three years of the effective date of the ordinance, a study session item shall be scheduled whereby the City Council can assess the impacts that the ordinance has had on local businesses and tourism.

Section 14. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions thereof be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 15. Publication. The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, published and circulated in the city within fifteen (15) days after its passage in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code, shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this Ordinance and the City Clerk’s certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this city.

Section 16. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and effect at 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st) day after its passage.

ORDINANCE NO. 19-O-2784 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AND 8600 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD, LLC FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED-USE PROJECT AT 8600 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: The City of Beverly Section 1.

Hills, on or about November 13, 2007, adopted Ordinance No. 07-O-2533 approving a development agreement for a mixed-use project with up to 26 condominium units to be located at 8600 Wilshire Boulevard. The project included requests for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Text and Map

Amendments, and a Planned Development Permit, along with the development agreement for the subject property.

Section 2. 8600 Wilshire Boulevard, LLC (“Developer”), the current owner of the property, proposes to amend the previously approved development agreement entered into between Developer’s predecessor in interest Wilshire Colonial Partners LLC on February 4, 2008, and modified on February 4, 2013 (herein, the “Development Agreement”), in connection with the construction of a project consisting of a mixed-use building with 16 market rate residential units and two moderate income affordable units as well as ground-floor commercial space located at 8600 Wilshire Boulevard (the “Project”).

The Development Agreement amendment would require the two designated affordable housing units will be rental units rather than forsale condominium units (the “Amendment”). The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 3.

The City Council finds that the Project has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (CEQA)), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000, et seq. (hereafter the “Guidelines”)), and the environmental regulations of the City. A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was certified by the City Council when the project was originally approved by the City in 2007. The Amendment would modify the project so that the designated affordable units will be rental units, rather than for-sale condominium units.

This minor revision does not substantially change the scope of the project that was reviewed in 2007.

The City Council hereby finds that the Amendment is within the project scope that was evaluated in the 2007 EIR and none of the conditions identified in CEQA Guidelines §15162 that require preparation of a supplement to the 2007 FEIR have occurred. Further, the Amendment is exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines because the Amendment involves no physical changes to the approved structure that is currently under construction. Therefore, the City Council finds that the Project is exempt from further review under CEQA. Section 4.

On March 28, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Amendment. Notices of the time, place and purpose of the public hearings were duly provided in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65867, 65090 and 65091.

Section 5.

On March 28, 2019, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1875 recommending approval of the Amendment.

On May 21, 2019, the Section 6.

City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing to consider the Amendment. Notices of the time, place and purpose of the public hearing were duly provided in accordance with California Government Code Sections 65867, 65090 and 65091.

Section 7.

The City Council finds that the proposed Amendment furthers several General Plan goals and policies.

Specifically, Goal H2 “Housing Supply and Diversity” states, “Provide a variety of housing types and adequate affordable housing supply to meet the existing and future needs of the community.” By ensuring that the two designated affordable units are operated as rental units, the proposed Amendment would pro-

BEVERLY HILLS

vide greater certainty of their availability as affordable housing stock into the future. In addition, Housing Policy H2.1 “Affordable Housing Incentives” states, “Offer incentives, including density bonuses, where feasible, to offset or reduce the costs of developing affordable housing. Proactively seek out new approaches in the provision of affordable housing.” The City and the developer entered into the Development Agreement as a way to create new affordable housing as a part of a 26-unit approved development project and the two designated affordable units were identified as a public benefit resulting from the project. During the building plan check process, the developer reduced the unit count and ultimately obtained building permits to construct 18 total units, including the two affordable units. Amending the language in the Development Agreement would improve the ability of the City to provide these units to eligible households in alignment with the goals and policies in the Housing Element.

Section 8.

The City Council hereby approves the Amendment of the Development Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Amendment on behalf of the City.

Section 9.

No later than ten (10) days after the effective date of this Ordinance, the City Clerk shall record with the County Recorder a copy of the Amendment and the notice shall describe the land to which such contract applies.

Section 10. If the Amendment is subsequently invalidated via initiative, referendum, or a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Development Agreement without this Amendment shall again become effective provided that it has not expired pursuant to its terms.

Section 11. The City Clerk shall cause this Ordinance to be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the City within fifteen (15) days after its passage, in accordance with Section 36933 of the Government Code; shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and shall cause this ordinance and this certification, together with proof of publication, to be entered in the Book of Ordinances of the Council of this City.

Section 12. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall go into effect and be in full force and effect at 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st) day after its passage.
