A-5 Hayden Tract Specific Plan

Warned against unaffordable affordable-housing mandates that yield zero housing, and urged the plan keep Hayden Tract cool with car-free areas, wide sidewalks, and true mixed use.

Supported either height option, relayed his father's wish to preserve sky views along the Ballona Creek bike path, and asked that open spaces be publicly accessible.

Argued the initial height alternatives are too timid to pencil given land costs, and urged a plan that goes taller to fund open space and mobility amenities.

Called the initial proposals a missed opportunity for iconic architecture and urged creative, unique design rather than a 'run of the mill mid-rise.'

Urged multiple connections to Ballona Creek, suggested a car-free boulevard, and pointed to Higuera and Ince as potential access points.

Suggested form-based zoning for flexibility, praised National Boulevard improvements, and pointed to the Cul-de-Sac Tempe car-free community as a model.
