16.F. Request of Councilmember de la Torre, Vice Mayor Negrete and Mayor Brock that the City Council direct the City Attorney and City Manager to draft language of proposed resolutions for consideration by the League of California Cities (CalCities), Independent Cities Association (ICA), and Westside Cities Council of Governments (WSCCOG) asking the State Legislature and Governor to change laws to provide for local control over the dissemination of syringes and other drug paraphernalia in local communities; and direct the City Manager to assist each of the Council’s appointed representatives to CalCities, ICA, and WSCCOG in submitting the draft resolutions to each of the above mentioned organizations for consideration of adoption.

I would like to add the HOMELESS SITUATION to the agenda for the meeting tonight. Several of my neighbors and I are going to attend the meeting tonight only to discuss the homeless. It's gotten out of control and is very dangerous.

I hope it's not too late to add this very important item to the agenda.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them. SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors. Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Thank you for your consideration,
Barry Johnson

Subject: Boards & Commissions

EXTERNAL
Addressing the Lack of Diversity in Santa Monica’s Boards and Commissions Santa Monica has long prided itself on being a progressive and inclusive community. However, recent developments have highlighted a glaring issue that contradicts this image: the lack of diversity within our Boards and Commissions. This issue is further exacerbated by the latest ordinance that imposes an increased fee for pulling papers to run for City Council, creating additional barriers for potential candidates from diverse backgrounds.

The City of Santa Monica has established numerous Boards and Commissions to guide and advise decision-makers on a variety of topics. These bodies are meant to reflect the diverse voices of our community, yet they often fall short of this ideal. Despite efforts to increase representation, many of these advisory bodies remain predominantly composed of individuals from similar socio-economic and racial backgrounds. This lack of diversity not only undermines the credibility of these bodies but also limits the range of perspectives and solutions that can be brought to the table.

In recent years, the City has made strides towards advancing equity and inclusion. The development of the City’s first Citywide Equity Plan, set to be presented to the City Council for adoption in Summer 2024, is a step in the right direction. However, these efforts must be matched by tangible changes in the composition of our Boards and Commissions. It is not enough to merely acknowledge past harms and systemic barriers; we must actively work to dismantle them.

The recent ordinance that increases the fee associated with pulling papers to run for City Council is a prime example of a policy that disproportionately affects underrepresented communities. By raising the financial barrier to entry, we are effectively excluding potential candidates who may not have the means to afford these fees. This move contradicts the City’s stated commitment to justice, equity, and diversity.

If we are to create a truly inclusive community, we must ensure that all residents have an equal opportunity to participate in the democratic process.

It is imperative that the City Council revisits this ordinance and considers the broader implications of such policies. We must also implement measures to actively recruit and support candidates from diverse backgrounds for our Boards and Commissions. This includes providing financial assistance, mentorship programs, and outreach initiatives to ensure that all voices are heard and represented.

Santa Monica has the potential to be a leader in equity and inclusion, but only if we are willing to confront and address the systemic barriers that persist within our community. Let us commit to creating a more diverse and inclusive future for all residents.

Think about how it will affect your immediate and the wider areas!! For instance: the airspace above Studio City is already quite crisscrossed and congested. Particulate pollutants (from low flying aircraft) rain down on us, and along with noise is a growing issue. Not to mention safety hazards of flying at low elevations near/over the Santa Monica mountains…

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members, I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them. SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors. Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO. Thank you for your consideration!

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members, I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Van Buys airport and at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

SMO with VNY would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

We do not need or want more air traffic, especially low flying aircraft, over and across the Santa Monica Mountains.

Residents like me in multiple communities are already being bombarded with loud low flying jet traffic from BUR and VYN!!

The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of lowflying Air Taxis over Southern California.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I strongly oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

Residents of the San Fernando Valley, in particular, have been fighting against noise and air pollution created by Van Nuys and Burbank airports, who’s circular flight paths create a literal vortex over our neighborhoods, and have been decimating our quality of life and the health of our families for years. WE CANNOT TAKE MORE NOISE AND LOW FLYING AIRCRAFT OF ANY KIND!!!
SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the communities on the ground, and the quality of life & health of millions of families.

Firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

Subject: PLEASE TELL SMO "NO FLYING TAXIS"
Dear Santa Monica City Council Members, I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California.

There is not enough research and tax-paying citizens in Los Angeles are not being informed or considered.

People do not want this— taxis will benefit only a few but impact everyone! The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them. SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO.

URGENT! HELP STOP FLYING TAXIS!
Santa Monica Airport (SMO) wants to convert the airport to accommodate Air Taxis.What happens in Santa Monica will not stay in Santa Monica! One of the first routes will be to BUR, over the Santa Monica mountains and your neighborhood soon! SMO must get approval for flying taxis from Santa Monica City Council. We need you to tell them NO! Archer has announced the launch of their Air Taxis above Los Angeles in 2026, scaling up by the 2028 Olympics! See map below. FLYING TAXIS will fly at extremely low altitudes (as low as 400 feet Above Ground Level).

The aviation industry plans to flood the skies with Air Taxis. The only way to stop them NOW is with your very vocal and visible OPPOSITION. Our skies are already far too congested! We must stop this NOW before air taxis get a home base at SMO. Otherwise, they will be here to stay! Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
This action will affect the well being of the population of the San Fernando Valley as SM to Burbank implements flying taxis. Health issues, air pollution issues , fire issues, wildlife issues, noise pollution, real estate values. To name a few.

I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

Our neighborhoods are not recreational playgrounds for elitist systems that have no benefit to the collective. My God, we already have heavy traffic on the ground, we do not now need it above our heads. The incorrectly zoned Santa Monica airport needs to close sooner than later and many advocates are working towards that as aviation continues to disrupt the collective well-being. BTW did you see the petition that the City of Malibu sent to the FAA? Why are rogue air pilots taking over local communities with non-stop noise, fuel, and lead pollution? Did we volunteer our communities as playgrounds for hyper capitalism of an inequitable paper currency?!

Stop the tourism disruptions in local SoCal communities! The quality of life is in severe decline because of hyper tech systems that always think they know what can make local communities better when they are actually just causing us disruptions. I don't need to look out my bedroom window to see the loud small plane flying banners to promote nonsense to my community. We gave you on the ground billboards, stop the hyper marketing of BS.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. My home near Burbank airport is already hugely impacted by the departing flight path out of Burbank Airport, overflights from Van Nuys Airport, and helicopters both civilian and military transiting through the Cahuenga Pass between Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley. Additional low flying air traffic in this already congested and tormenting area will make it unlivable!

I am sure none of you care in the least about the citizens, but here goes---- Dear Santa Monica City Council Members, I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO. The aviation industry promises to transform aviation by flooding the congested air above us with many thousands of low-flying Air Taxis over Southern California. The aviation industry provides unsupported claims that Air Taxis are safe, have no significant negative impacts, and will reduce traffic on the ground. They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them. SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors. Please consider the community on the ground and firmly reject any implementation of AAM/Flying Taxis at SMO. Thank you for your consideration!

SMO would be the key to the beginning of AAM implementation. Agreeing to move forward in any way would have wide reaching impacts throughout the region! It would also make the intended use of the former airport land, a public park, unbearable for visitors.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members:

I strongly oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

They have also spent more than $22B developing and lobbying for Air Taxis, cloaked in secrecy, and with not one shred of evidence that people on the ground want or need them.

Dear Santa Monica City Council Members,
Everything flies over West Studio City: LAPD helicopters back and forth all day and night to VNY, tour helicopters returning to BUR all day long, every jet departing BUR, many private jets, small aircraft, and news copters departing and returning to VNY. It’s ridiculous how this neighborhood is under a major air-traffic intersection. There is never a quiet moment. And now you want to allow annoying air taxis flying over this neighborhood to add to this cacophony?!
I oppose development of infrastructure for use by Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including Flying Taxis, at Santa Monica Airport (SMO), as well as any AAM operations to and from SMO.

Re: Stanford Neighbors Against City Overreach v. City of Santa Monica Dear Santa Monica City Council,
YIMBY Law is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, whose mission is to increase the accessibility and affordability of housing in California. YIMBY Law sues municipalities when they fail to comply with state housing laws, including the Housing Element Law.

Should the City fail to follow the law, YIMBY Law will not hesitate to file suit to ensure that the law is enforced.

On August 27th, this Council will review its litigation response to Stanford Neighbors Against City Overreach v. of Santa Monica, which requests a stay of SB9 and Santa Monica Municipal Code section 9.31.125 while City of Redondo Beach remains on appeal.

We urge the City to uphold its legal obligations and the integrity of its own authority by vigorously defending against this lawsuit, and swiftly filing for its dismissal.

Section 9.31.125 codifies Senate Bill 9, allowing ministerial approval of certain duplex and ADU projects, facilitating approvals and making way for greater accessibility to individuals hoping to live within the City. While the recent decision in City of Redondo Beach et al v. Bonta excluded charter cities from SB9, Santa Monica’s ordinance stands Item 4-A

Packet Pg. 306 Attachment: Written Comments [Revision 1] (6586 : 4.A. Closed Session: Stanford against City Outreach) on the city’s authority and its obligations under California’s Housing Element law. The provision was a requirement of the city’s AFFH strategy as submitted to HCD. If the ordinance is amended, repealed, or rendered inoperable following this pending lawsuit, Santa Monica could suffer serious consequences: it risks decertification of its housing element, rendering the city non-compliant, and opening up the entirety of Santa Monica to Builder’s Remedy projects.1
The current challenge ignores Santa Monica’s authority to enact its own ordinances and its obligations under state AFFH law. If the city does not successfully dismiss the lawsuit, it could be forced to expend considerable resources redrafting its housing element and developing new AFFH programs. With respect to the sincerity of Santa Monica’s Council in making those agreements and the laws that Council committed to in response, Yimby Law asks the city to defend its policies and ensure this lawsuit is dispensed with as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Jack Farrell, Esq.

Subject: City Council 8/27/24 agenda item #4-----Stanford St neighbors lawsuit

EXTERNAL
I live across the street from 1101 Stanford St. and have great interest as to what is to become of the property. I watched as the property was sold in '21 and the teardown of the house in Jan'22. And again when the property was sold in '23. I definitely was unhappy with the proposed monster house to be built at that time and am even more unhappy with the SB9 build of 8 units.

Is not one of the primary requirements that there be an existing house on the property? So before you even begin the approval process for a SB9 build the first requirement isn't even met and should be disqualified. Moving on to the lot split that allows 2 dwelling units on each lot, that has been doubled to 8 units with the addition of 2 adus on each lot!! Only 4 parking spaces have been allowed for the 4 units as we're close to public transportation on Wilshire. The neighborhood is faced with the possibility of 16 additional cars.....allowing 2 cars per unit. Where are they supposed to park?? Along with the increased traffic on Stanford and Lipton, which is already treated as a mini freeway.

I understand that the builders need to maximize the build so much, as nearly $4 million has been spent for the property! But at what cost to our neighborhood and other neighborhoods facing the same predicament??
Thank you

To Whom It May Concern:

As a dedicated real-estate agent with over 20 years of experience serving the westside and Santa Monica, I am compelled to address the recent lawsuit challenging the SB9 ordinance and the associated project on Stanford Avenue. This lawsuit and the potential halt in the implementation of SB9 by the city are of great concern to me and many others in the community.

The success of this lawsuit could significantly undermine the city’s efforts to provide more affordable housing options. As someone who has been very involved in the Westside and Santa Monica's real estate market for the past two decades, I have witnessed firsthand, the acute shortage of housing that has made it increasingly difficult for both homebuyers and renters to find affordable options in the community.

Santa Monica is already one of the least affordable cities in the nation for prospective homebuyers. The SB9 ordinance presents a vital opportunity to address this issue by allowing for the development of additional housing units in single-family neighborhoods, thereby helping to alleviate some of the pressure on the housing market. It is crucial that we continue to explore and implement policies that create more housing opportunities, rather than placing obstacles in their path.

Sincerely,
Nikki

Dear City CouncilWe are neighbors of the proposed project on Stanford St. While in principle we are pro-development and densification, bending the SB-9 law in a way it was explicitly never intended to create 8 units on a single family family property isn't the way to go about it. We will continue to oppose this and similar projects, in court if necessary, but urge you to follow a more reasonable and legal framework to achieve the goal of adding housing stock to Santa Monica.

Thank you for your consideration.

I have lived in Santa Monica for 45 years. I have seen many positive and sadly, lately, many ill-conceived and badly executed actions. Degrading the quality of neighborhood life (SB 9) has to be one of the most ill-conceived. Driven by state legislators who are frankly, unfamiliar with the city’s their laws would impact; driven my legislators who often live in rural areas; unconcerned with the impact of having state law override municipalities that are governed by local residents … and all in the name of housing that will by definition in these areas be out of the reach of lower income people and only benefit developers who are profiting by the idea that they are the people who will solve a housing crisis. Building larger structures, filling lots with concrete, putting up looming structures, while by practical necessity, eliminating lawns and trees ( btw Santa Monica was a leader in limiting the size of homes in relation to the size of their lots) … well what a terrible approach and system. SM will likely lose this lawsuit and spend valuable resources fighting that result. Do the right thing and join other California cities by not enforcing this bad idea.

Dear Council Members. I reside at 1123 Stanford St., down the block from the parcel at issue. My family moved into the neighborhood about 14 years ago. I don't understand why the city would consider changing the zoning in the middle of single family residences. If the city wants more multi-family housing it should do so by starting on the edges of the single family zoned area near Wilshire, not in the middle of it. It doesn't seem right to change the nature of our single family neighborhood, and it will cause the rest of the single family parcels around it to lose value. Please reconsider.

Thank you,

The concept of single family houses on single family lots is what makes Santa Monica a wonderful place to live and gives the character of Santa Monica to the entire region. Your overreach will make the neighborhoods of single family houses look like the Promenade: A disaster ! Item 4-A

Good Afternoon,
As of resident of Santa Monica for over 35 years, I am very disappointed with the City Planners (David Martin, Ross Fehrman) and City Attorneys (Doug Sloan, Heidi Jame Tongel).

They have made it very clear they are moving forward with the approval of the lot split at 1101 Stanford St and the building of 8 residential housing units on a single R-1 lot despite our neighborhood objections.

The City’s position is more than inexplicable as a state court judge held that SB9 was unconstitutional, thereby rendering The City of Santa Monica ordinance unconstitutional.

As a result of the positions of the developers and the City, our options to stop the 8 unit developments is limited to litigation.

We want to preserve our beautiful Santa Monica neighborhoods not destroy them! We SNACO are asking for your help to defeat this SB9 project.

Thank you
Sincerely
Gail Denney

Re: Threat of Litigation to Enforce Judgment and Settlement Agreements Property address: 205 Washington Avenue (Sovereign Hotel & Apts) Our client: Sovereign Restoration Partners, LP
Our File No. 22785.001
Dear Mses. Cola and von Tongeln:

Thank you for meeting with me on March 18th to discuss possible resolution of the City’s failure to honor its 1992 Settlement Agreement, as amended in 1996, as to the landmark1 Sovereign Hotel & Apartments. For its part, the property owner has honored its obligations under these agreements for the past 30 years, but the City has now balked at doing so. Please be informed that there is a Judgment in place that forces the City to comply with the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

This letter is submitted on behalf of the Sovereign Restoration Partners, LP (“SRP”), the owners and operators of the property at 205 Washington Avenue. Please treat this letter as a formal threat of litigation.

SUMMARY OF SRP’s DEMAND
The purpose of this letter is to reiterate the property owner’s demand that the City comply with the terms of the Settlement Agreement and Release dated July 6, 1992 (“1992 Agreement”), as amended by the Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release dated April 10, 1996 (“1996 Amendment”). In particular, in accordance with Paragraphs 2 and 5 of the 1992 Agreement (and as reiterated in Paragraph 5 of the 1996 Amendment), SRP asserts the right to operate 52 of the 86 units on the subject 1 The building and property were designated as a City Landmark and Landmark Parcel, respectively, on January 8, 1996. (LC-04-052.)
