3 issues in development with medium priority
Public Art Fund Ordinance and Policy
The city has roughly $671,000 collected from developer in-lieu fees but no formal rules for spending it. The draft ordinance would require bigger developments to fund public art, and council wants more oversight — Planning Commission, council review, local artists, and historical fact-checking — before approving a final version.
LACAHSA Homelessness Prevention Grant
The city accepted $460,000 in county funding to build a homelessness prevention program, finish the Valley Rancho Mobile Home Park feasibility study, and train staff on homelessness law.
Villages at Legacy Green environmental studies
The residential project at the old Lutheran High School site needs a full Environmental Impact Report, so the council approved contract amendments with the environmental consultant and developer reimbursement.
