PLUC _March: The Late Version

OK....
...So on to the last PLUC meeting. 

First, i must point out that Mynor was unable to attend, so Rafael Chagoya (BHNC Vice President) lead the meeting.  Documentations were unavailable, but the meeting proceeded further.  So the Minutes were tabled until the next meeting.

MCM (Multicultural Communities for Mobility) made a presentation regarding their initiative. and a "festival" (Nuestra Avenida: Cesar Chavez Reimaginada) on Chavez from St. Louis to Evergreen (march 12th from 10am-4pm), highlighting their ideas.  And to get community input.  (I got there close to 2pm.  And it was pretty much dead at that time. though, i did get a massage).  I have no idea what happened before hand.  i never saw video or picture posts.  This was part of the "Great Streets Initiative."

[I must note here that i, and many in the community, have been against projects like this as Chavez is too crowded.  I also have been previously open and opposed to bike lanes on Chavez, due to safety hazards.]

Next was:

Starting @ ~00:11:30 on the audio

Re-code: LA (Zoning Advisory Committee)  www.recode.la
They provided a brief preview of their proposal for "updating the zoning code" in Los Angeles. Not that zoning codes will change, but make them more "understandable."

Public meetings meet the last Wednesday of the month.  This may at times conflict with the BHNC GBM.  [This information was presented at the General Board meeting]

Finally, @ ~ 01:07:30  there was a presentation by CoPALM (The Coalition to Prevent Alcohol Related Harms in Metro LA)  www.copalm.org seeking to create an "restrictive use ordinance," in addition to measures already taken by Boyle Heights to limit alcohol licenses, and increase.  Specifically regarding "off-sale liquor license."  Essentially, making it a law.

That is: Putting a restriction on NEW places where they sell beer, wine, or hard liquor at a store such as a market, or store; NOT  including restaurants or bars.  This does not effect places that are "grandfather'ed in" (which meant that they got their license prior to 1985).

This was motioned to be moved to the General Board Meeting for presentation.
