BUSINESS:
1. Oak Tree Permit 22-001
Applicant: TJ Tramonto
Project Address: 31856 Foxfield Drive
Project Description: After-the-fact oak tree permit request to prune three coast live oak trees.
2. Conditional Use Permit 14-011, Modification No. 2
Applicant: Jeffrey Helfer
Project Address: 30760 Russell Ranch Road, Suites C and D Project Description: 101 North Eatery and Bar has a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allowing the service of beer, wine, and distilled spirits in conjunction with a fullservice restaurant. The applicant is requesting to amend the CUP to allow for the following: 1) convert a portion of the restaurant to a private event space and lounge, and 2) expand the outdoor patio to add an outdoor lounge area. This item was considered by the Land Use Committee at its March 2, 2022 meeting. Staff will be presenting additional information for the Committee’s consideration.
3. Oak Tree and Heritage Tree Preservation Standards Revisions Project Description: Revisions to the Oak Tree and Heritage Tree Preservation Standards to increase functionality of the standards to better protect oak trees and heritage trees, to better align exemption categories and required findings with typical permit requests received, to clarify requirements for permit applications, and to clarify the enforcement process for oak tree permit violations.
4. Subdivision Ordinance Revisions
Project Description: The Westlake Village Municipal Code (WVMC) adopts several Los Angeles County code chapters by reference. Since adoptions by reference only the capture the code as it existed at the time of adoption, it is a best practice to periodically re-adopt the codes by reference so that the current regulations are applicable. WVMC Article 10 adopts by reference the Los Angeles County subdivision code as it existed in 1991. Subdivision regulations are based upon the State Subdivision Map Act, which is itself amended from time to time. To ensure the WVMC reflects and implements the current Subdivision Map Act and corresponding County code, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a new ordinance to re-adopt by reference the County subdivision code.
