Human Remains Identified by Santa Monica Police Law May Increase Amount of Homeless Shelters

The Santa Monica Police Department Was Notified About The Remains Found In An Abandoned Property’s Courtyard Last Month

By Zach Armstrong

Human remains were identified as those of Beau Mann (Born 1982) more than a week after the Santa Monica Police Department was notified about the remains found in an abandoned property’s courtyard in the 2900 block of Santa Monica Boulevard.

Mann was last seen on Nov. 30 2021 and was reported missing to the LAPD on Dec. 4 2021. The Los Angeles County Coroner took possession of the remains and are determining the cause of death.

Those with information about the incident or people involved are encouraged to contact SMPD Detective Ismael Tavera at 310-458-

Senator Catherine Blakespear Believes That Her Bill Could Be A “Transformational Idea” To Tackle Homelessness In California

Senate Bill 7, authored by Democratic Senator Catherine Blakespear from Encinitas, would mandate cities and counties to plan enough beds for all unhoused individuals, including permanent housing placements, and potentially impose sanctions against local governments that fail to do so.

Blakespear believes that her bill could be a

“transformational idea” to tackle homelessness in California where other attempts have failed. Cities throughout California are failing to provide sufficient shelter for their homeless populations, leaving thousands without homes, according to an Associated Press report. Los Angeles County, for example, has more than 69,000 homeless residents but only 21,000 beds in shelters and temporary housing programs. Sacramento County, on the other hand, has just over 3,000 shelter and temporary housing beds for almost 9,300 unhoused residents.

Despite Governor Gavin Newsom and lawmakers’ assurances that homelessness is a top priority, there is currently no state requirement for cities and counties to ensure they have enough shelters or housing for homeless individuals.

City Council Honors Anna May Wong for Asian

American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

A Former Santa Monica Resident, Anna May Wong is Considered The First Chinese American Film Star in Hollywood and The First Chinese American Actress to Have International Fame.

By Zach Armstrong

The City Council kicked off celebrations of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage

Month by presenting a proclamation to Anna Wong, the niece of famous actress and former Santa Monica Resident Anna May Wong.

Born in 1905 in Los Angeles, Anna May Wong is considered the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood and the first Chinese American actress to have international fame. She famously refused when the director of Dangerous to Know asked her to use Japanese mannerisms while portraying a Chinese character. She appeared in “Shanghai Express”, “Daughter of the Dragon” and “The Toll of the Sea”.

In 1961, Anna May Wong died of a heart attack at the age of 56. The Asian-American Arts Awards and the Asian Fashion Designers group named annual awards after her. According to Msmagazine.com, Anna Wong’s niece lives in L.A. as an event

working

Asian

planner and production executive while

to increase awareness of

American issues and keeping her Aunt’s legacy alive.

California Homeowners Eligible for $13,000 Seismic Retrofit Grant

Homeowners in Southern California Cities Can Apply for Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS) Program Grants to Strengthen Homes Against Earthquake Damage.

Until May 31, eligible homeowners in select cities in the Bay Area and Southern California can apply for a seismic retrofit grant of up to $13,000. The Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS) pilot program, part of the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP), offers these funds to qualified homeowners in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Pasadena. The grant will help these homeowners strengthen their soft-story homes against earthquake damage, which may be prone to partial or full collapse during an earthquake.

The CRMP, established by the California

Earthquake Authority (CEA) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), offers incentive programs to help Californians strengthen their houses against earthquake damage. The Earthquake Soft-Story pilot program is a new addition to this program, and is made possible by a Hazard Mitigation Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that is being administered by the Cal OES.

Eligible homeowners can apply for retrofit funding at www.EarthquakeSoftStory.com between April 25 and May 31, 2023. They can also find program information, select from a list of FEMA-trained, Californialicensed general contractors, and view the full list of eligible ZIP Codes here.

Homeowners in 82 ZIP Codes are eligible for these grants, and approximately 375 grants of up to $13,000 each will be awarded depending on the type of house and the appropriate retrofit. Participating homeowners will be selected through a random drawing and notified via email if they have been selected or if they have been placed on the waitlist after registration closes.

Making a soft-story home more

resistant to earthquake damage can be as straightforward as having a licensed contractor install new plywood sheathing or steel reinforcements on each side of the garage door and bracing the perimeter walls of the garage. Licensed contractors interested in participating can find all the resources they need to get started in the program on the CRMP website. CRMP offers free FEMA training, free marketing materials, and free listings to general contractors with a valid California license (Type A or B).

The Earthquake Soft-Story program is part of the CRMP, which was established in 2011 to help Californians strengthen their homes against damage from earthquakes. The program is a joint powers authority created by the California Earthquake Authority and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services. Another program offered by the CRMP is the Earthquake Brace + Bolt program, which offers up to $3,000 to help California homeowners retrofit their houses to reduce potential damage from earthquakes.

No Damage or Injury Reported After Santa Monica Earthquake

Santa Monica Resident Named in $800K Theft Scheme

By Zach Armstrong

The

Monday, those agencies told Santa Monica Mirror.

The earthquake reportedly occurred at a shallow depth of 4.3 miles beneath the epicenter at 8:05 a.m. It was likely felt by many people in the area as a light vibration.

Shaking could have been felt in the towns and cities of Malibu, Topanga, Calabasas, Santa Monica, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, Inglewood, Hawthorne, Burbank and Los Angeles.

“The LAFD remained in a normal operating mode following the seismic event … and did not receive any 9-1-1 calls or other related service requests,” an LAFD spokesperson said in an email. “Though some manner of damage or injury could have conceivably occurred in or beyond our jurisdiction, none is known to our agency.”

By Zach Armstrong

A man and a woman based in the Los Angeles metro were indicted with conspiracy charges and 10 counts of wire fraud related to an $800,000 retail theft scheme.

Jalen Amir Thomas and Armia Ta’Jae Timmons reportedly traveled through 23 states, hitting a total of almost 200 stores. From March 2022, the pair stopped at home improvement stores and used fake identities to rent construction equipment such as jumping jack tampers and vibratory plate compactors. Approximately 480 pieces of equipment were stolen from the stores.

The count of conspiracy and the wire fraud are punishable by as much as two decades in prison each along with a $250,000 fine. Thomas and Timmons have appeared in the US District Court in the Central District of California. Prosecutors look to request them to be transported to the Western District of Washington for arraignment.

Week: $330

Day Rate: $80

The Motions Focus on Identifying New Street Drugs, Preventing Future Fire Incidents and Promoting an EcoFriendly Olympics

By Zach Armstrong

CD11 Councilwoman Traci Park authored four motions that focus on public safety, street drugs and preparing for the 2028 Olympics. The City Council has unanimously passed those motions.

The first motion directs the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments to report on protocols that identify and address new street drugs. It also tasks the Personnel Department to make sure city staff who

could encounter those substances are safe.

The second motion directs the Los Angeles Fire Department to report on lithium-ion battery fire incidents, recommend safety reforms and create a public awareness campaign that would prevent those incidents from occurring.

The third motion aims to enforce gun violence restraining orders. It also tasks the Los Angeles Police Department to provide an overview of domestic violence incident responses, report on challenges in enforcing gun relinquishment provisions and update enforcement procedures in line with SB 320 (Eggman).

The final motion asks for a report from the Department of Water and Power, Chief Legislative Analyst, and City Administrative Officer on developing the Games Energy Council for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This is meant to ensure an eco-friendly event while also promoting a “green Olympics”.

PARKING WARS Part 2

Last week’s SMa.r.t. article described the collision of two new State mandates: the first requiring the construction of 9000 new units in Santa Monica (corresponding to about a 20% population increase in the next 8 years), and the second preventing the City from requiring any parking for all those new units. This will create a massive parking crisis in your city (not to mention increased gridlock). See https:// smmirror.com/2023/05/sma-r-t-columnparking-wars/

The car is (unfortunately) here to stay

Just because the State is forbidding these new residents from having cars, people who can afford cars will not abandon them because their cars provide, in spite of their drawbacks, exceptional speed, convenience, safety and cultural value. Simply put the car will not “go away” until there are real transportation alternatives of equal speed, convenience, safety and cultural value.

There are several ways to try to force people from their cars: make them more costly (eg. expensive to park, higher gas tax, etc.), make them more inconvenient or amp up fast, safe

alternatives, or reduce their cultural cache, or some combination of the above. Resisting these anti-car pressures are that wealthier residents always have the means to work around any instituted inconveniences, that lenders may not fund projects that don’t have sufficient parking (see the Capital One building at 4th and Broadway), that electric car owners erroneously think there is no ecological cost to their cars, and that new buildings will not attract new pricy tenants (or keep them) if there isn’t sufficient parking (this applies even to affordable housing projects such as 1626 Lincoln).

King car will not be dethroned easily. This historical car tug-of-war will take time to resolve even with the help of parking gurus like Dr. Donald Shoup. In the. meantime car numbers will inexorably increase simply by the State mandated 20% population increase. Regardless of what we do in the long run, we will need to find places to park them in the immediate future.

Some people may cleverly think we should let the parking crisis get really bad to force the car abandonment earlier but that’s a parallel delusion to the State’s mad idea that if we don’t require parking, the car will vanish. What will actually happen, when the parking situation gets really ugly and the equity issues become unavoidably glaring, is that we will be forced by an angry populace, to institute the very same parking changes we could be implementing today but then at a greater cost and with less

flexibility.

Toward a more efficient City Parking is not free. Whether paid for by developers in their construction budgets, subsided by the City via parking structures, or paid for by drivers circling for blocks looking for parking, someone has to pay the substantial cost of stabling your horse. Because the developers of parking deficient projects will be dumping their perking load and its avoided costs on your public streets, it’s incumbent on the City to be ready to manage this additional parking load. The following ten initiatives would assist in ameliorating this worsening parking crisis. Certainly, we could be instituting these initiatives even without an impending crisis. Essentially we need to make the City more efficient in managing both its existing and increased parking load. To do this we need to both increase supply and reduce demand and ideally both.

Increasing parking supply

1. Starting with low-hanging fruit, we can easily increase parking supplies in streets that are already ultra-wide (approx. 53’) by turning one side of the street to perpendicular parking as has been done on, for example, 9th and 10th streets between Michigan and Pico. Streets, where this could be done, include Hollister between Main and 3rd or 19th Street between Wilshire and Arizona. The side with the least number of curb cuts (driveways) should be the side that gets the perpendicular parking. Under optimal conditions, this would increase the number of cars on that street by about 50%.

2. A slightly more expensive effort would be to create one-way streets with diagonal parking on both sides. Ideally, this would be done on quiet streets with alleys behind and thus very few curb cuts. These one-way streets should be balanced by adjacent street(s) going in the

opposite direction. Under optimal conditions, this would increase the number of cars on a street by about 75%. These re-stripped, redirected streets should be done prioritizing wherever any block gets any new building (eg an Accessory Dwelling Unit) that has substandard parking.

Small cars before no cars

3. We will get to small cars before getting to no cars. Using smaller parking spaces would help recapture “leftover” spaces in parking layouts. Today the City has two parking sizes standard (18’ long) and compact(15’ long ). But a certain number of smaller cars are now penetrating the market: Mini Cooper, Fiat 500 and Le Smart (named after a famous column in the SM Mirror). These cars are all about 12’ long. Over time we expect the percentage of very small cars to grow since for in-urban use, glorified golf carts work just fine. To increase profits, Detroit’s current electrification of cars is mistakenly directed toward gigantism (all electric SUVs). But over time, as small allelectric foreign imports eat Detroit’s lunch (again), we will see more buyers getting smaller all-electric cars that are both more economical to buy/operate and much easier to park. The length saved by 3’ sounds trivial but when added to the typical backup distance saving of another 3’, you get about another third standard car length saved. These extra savings are very useful in recapturing and “monetizing” fractional leftover spaces. The percentage of these ultra-small parking spaces should be selected by the percentage of such approximately 12 long cars that are currently registered in Santa Monica. While initially small, that percentage will be increasing over time.

The motherlode of the parking SM.a.rt, see page 11

SM.a.rt, from page 10

4. The mother lode of “surplus” parking is actually all the empty parking spaces in the acres of empty office buildings. This not only affects Santa Monica, but currently most cities have exceptionally high office vacancies: New York at 16%, Los Angeles at 25%, and San Francisco at 31%. Not all office buildings even have parking, but many of them particularly if built in the last half-century, often have more parking available than is required for the same square footage of residential uses. Converting office buildings with existing parking to full or partial residential uses often has important secondary benefits. This conversion often happens in office buildings that, if newer, are already fully handicap accessible, and no residents are evicted (existing apartments demolished) compared to typical new construction, it can be done faster than new housing construction, they are often along boulevards with abundant services (favoring pedestrian trips), it can reactivate collapsing downtown cores, and finally it improves our deleterious job-housing imbalance. Because of these manifest benefits, the City should incentivize these conversions by amending the zoning code to eliminate any constraints to such conversions but also to eliminate all City fees as an additional accelerant.

5. Finally at the top of the expense scale, imagine a large networked zone, such as all of downtown Santa Monica, entirely saturated with smart (again named after a famous column in the SM Mirror) parking meters that can

continually announce to the web their current price and availability. Much like the pricing of airline seats, these smart parking meters near to much-desired venues would be pricier than at the periphery of less-desired destinations. Upon arriving in the networked area the driver could use an app on their phone (or automatically through their car’s onboard screen) to see nearby parking options, say ranging from $10.00 to say $0.50 or even free. They would then select the street at their price point to find their optimally priced parking space. The continually updating price profile of each street would be optimized to ensure that each block/street, parking lot, or structure would always have at least one parking space always available. Over time regular drivers would learn which area at which time to go to (probably even without using the app) so that they would not waste time driving in circles. This futuristic system would allow drivers to see the real cost and value of their time and parking usage and would work in an environment of both regular and selfdriving cars (which would automatically be billed to their credit/debit cards). This system “increases” supply by quickly increasing drivers’ knowledge of where parking is still available.

Decreasing parking demand

6. Build out the City’s Bike Action Plan (without the errors of the 17th Street bike path) to increase the percentage of drivers feeling safe enough to use bikes.

7. In areas of parking scarcity, when carless residents need a short-term rental

car occasionally, it will be very beneficial to institute a system of distributed lots where cars can easily be picked up and dropped off. Think Zip Car. A typical fenced surface 50X150 lot could store about 38-40 cars on demand (via the rear alley) reserved, paid, and accessed online. These eventually attendant-less lots would become the deposits for self-driving cars freeing them somewhat from the need to be within walking distance since the car can come to you. Perhaps the Big Blue bus could operate these as a public utility service.

8. Study the option of making the big Blue Bus free by finding fair funding sources to make this feasible if possible.

9. This will be controversial, but any new project that has substandard parking should not be allowed to get preferential parking in any zone. Preferential parking zones are designed to protect neighborhoods from the impact of the adjacent under-parked areas (eg. commercial streets, the college, etc.). Preferential parking zones will probably increase in size as residents feel the impact of 9000 new units. They were not instituted to facilitate freeloading
