Current Land Use Applications

There are 4 cases that are awaiting a public hearing. These are as follows:

18259 Topham Street: The owner of this property is requesting to subdivide his property from one lot to two lots.

18603 Topham Street:  The owner of the dog kennel at this address is requesting a conditional use permit to operate this facility within 500 feet of a residential zone.

18831 Topham Street: The owner of this home is requesting a zone variance to convert this building from a senior facility currently limited to 6 residents to a facility that will house 26 residents.

5429 Lindley Ave. (Temple Judea): This long standing religious institution is planning to expand their facility with the addition of a new sanctuary, social hall, classrooms and underground parking. The neighboring community is supportive of this project. Particular noteworthy in the plans are structural and landscaping enhancements that are proposed along the perimeter of the property bordering the Garden Grove neighborhood to the west.

If you are interested in attending any of these hearing you may contact TNC and we will inform you when the case is scheduled for hearing. You can also periodically check the City planning website at www.lacity.org/pln - click on Meetings-Hearings - South Valley – Hearings and you will find the cases scheduled for hearings.

Former case…..
If you are wondering what is happening at 5530 Donna Ave. (Hindu Meditation Center “Barsama Dahm”) we were informed that the owner has posted a notice that they received a Building & Safety Dept. permit for the demolition of front structure. There is also another notice on the alley that a temporary kitchen is to be installed in the accessory structure.

The City Planning Dept. recently notified us that the owner of both 5520 Donna Ave.and  5521 Topeka Ave. (directly south of 5530 Donna Ave.) is seeking a lot line adjustment to move 10,000 square feet of the Donna Ave. property to the Topeka property. This would enlarge the Topeka property to approximately 40,000 square feet. Both properties would still maintain the same zoning designation. (RA-1 properties must be a minimum of 17,500 square feet.)
