1 12/11/2018 City of Los Angeles Mail - Fwd: Public Conent: Council File (Hoe Sharing Ordinance Fwd: Public Conent: Council File (Hoe Sharing Ordinance 1 essage Tue, Dec 11, 2018 at 8:13 AM Fro: Steve Mayer <ayer@ae.co> Date: Mon, Dec 10, 2018 at 11:37 PM Subject: Public Conent: Council File (Floe Sharing Ordinance To: <sharon.dickinson@lacity.org>, <citycierk@lacity.org> Honorable Council: a the founder of Concerned Citizens of Beverly Hills / Beverly Grove. We are opposed to the proposed Hoe Sharing ordinance as currently written. First, the proposed ordinance does not past uster with CEQA. There are any different factors, soe of which can be itigated and soe that cannot be itigated, as they related to the Host, the Host s residence, the Guests, the type of transportation that the Guest is using, and a slew of other concerns. Second, we object specifically to: (A 32(c(2(ii(a and (b which relates to hoe sharing by tenants, should be eliinated. Hoe-Sharing is unfair to fellow tenants and disturbs their quiet enjoyent An additional paragraph ( e" which specifies that should there should be no Hoe-Sharing if the Host s priary residence is a ulti-faily residential structure. (B 32(d(2 should be changed fro 120 days, but 60 days. The reduction eans that the neighborhood will be disturbed no ore than approxiately once a week. (C 32(d(11 should be changed fro 2 per habitable roo to 2 per bedroo. A Hoe-Sharing unit in an adjacent building has rented to 10 people for a 2 bedroo unit. That is unfair to the neighborhood. (D 32(d(12 should be changed fro 10 p.. to 9 p.. n addition, the nuber of people (8 ust include children. (E rentals. 32(e should include another paragraph that states the Host will be present for all Hoe-Sharing (F 32(h should be eliinated. By having extended days, it allows a housing unit to be used solely as a business, taking a housing unit off the arket. As a basic preise, there should be no Hoe-Sharing, unless the Host is physically present. Encouraging Hoe-Sharing, as the ordinance is present written, detracts fro utilization of peranent lodging facilities, These have proven to be the life-blood of the City, and shouid be supported first, not last. Thank you for your consideration. Steve Mayer https ://ail.google.co/aii/u/0?ik=5be92e88ae&view=pt&search=ail&perthid=thread-f%3a &sipl=$g-f%3a /1

Decrying it now is outrageous. Shortly after his re-election, a press release fro his office stated that Tricia Keane was prooted fro Planning Director to Co-Chief-of-Staff. On her Linkedln profile Ms. Keane is also described as Co-Chief-of-Staff/ Chief Counsel for CD 11. Perhaps Ms. Keane crafted the language of Mr. Bonin's letter of support for Andy Layan in his recent successful quest to get 1305 Ocean Front Walk designated as an Historic Cultural Monuent as an apartent hotel in spite of the fact that all perits and the Certificate of Occupancy show the legal description of the property as apartent house. The evasiveness of the language used in that letter of support, entirely avoiding the use of the words apartent building, apartent house, apartent hotel, or hotel, is indicative of a pro-active willingness to facilitate people who abuse housing laws, or perhaps break the. t is chillingly callous. Mr. Layan has ultiple orders to coply for illegal change-of-use of that property over any years, and siply refused to coply. The City Attorney is pursuing a lawsuit against hi on behalf of the people, as you all know - BC Mr. Layan is a forer president of the Venice Chaber of Coerce and influences others through his business practices. Carl Labert is a proinent person in Mr. Bonin s inner circle/working group for Venice. Mr, Labert converted 5 RSO buildings in Venice into hotels, each with their own unique websites and listings as hotels on TripAdvisor and other travel platfors. The City Attorney is pursuing a lawsuit against Mr. Labert for 417 Ocean Front Walk on behalf of the people, as you all know - BC Mr. Labert is the iediate past president of the Venice Chaber of Coerce, an executive eber of the board, and chair of the Legal & Legislative Coittee. He influences others through his business practices. There are years of illegal change of use coplaints on file for all of these Labert and Layan properties. The tenants do not appear to have left happily. t akes one wonder about inspectors in Venice. None of this has caused Mr. Bonin or his staff to distance theselves fro Mr. Labert or Mr. Layan. le. co/ai!/u/0?ik=5be92e88ae&view=pt&search=all&perthid=thread-f%3a &sipi=sg-f%3a /5

3 12/11/2018 City of Los Angeles Mail - Fwd: Public Coent on Council File: S2 Last week Mr. Bonin facilitated Mr. Labert s successful quest to get 417 Ocean Fronl Walk designated as an Historic Cultural Monuent as an apartent hotel in spite of the fact dial all perits and the Certificate of Occupancy show the legal description of the property as apartent house. The updated Cultural Heritage Ordinance of April 2018 states that the Office of Historic Resources will consult with die council office of the potential CM location, prior to their staff recoendation. We arc in a housing crisis. t is the responsibility of the City Council to protect renters in the City of Los Angeles. t ust be a andate. Also, the City of Los Angeles is receiving illions of dollars in Transient Occupancy Tax fro a revenue strea that is currently illegal. That is oney laundering by any analysis. Regulation of hoe-sharing, forally the short-ter rental ordinance, is long overdue. We need a 90-day liit on hoesharing in a person s priary hoe only. The City cannot afford to incentivize properly owners to forgo longter tenants for greater profits. None of us can afford that outcoe in a city of renters Please do not attach conditions, such as the approval of another ordinance, to be tied to the approval of Council File: S2. Wc need regulation iediately. Sincerely, Margaret Molloy Vote YES on Prop 10 Carl Labert, a Santa Monica developer and landlord, said he fears ho ll have to stop renting his properties if Costa Hawkins is repealed. Ho sees Costa Hawkins as a coproise; Tenants receive inial rent increases, and landlords have the chance to chargo a arket rate after the renters ove out. You live with it, knowing when tenants do ove out, you can raiso the rent," Labert said. (kvww.rocont.beo.co/ CARL LAMBERT S NO FREND TO RENTERS N LOS ANGELES.

The revised rules and procedures for preferential parking districts, dated Oct. 18, 2018, that allow boundaries of a PPD to be established to extend to both sides of the nearest ajor streets, cobined with the density of TOC eligible properties along the LAX/Crenshaw Metro line threaten to forever change and negatively ipact the quality of life for residents within the West Adas-Baldwin Hills-Leiert Counity. live at th Ave, and have lived in y hoe for twenty plus years. Most households on our bfock own 2+ cars. n our iediate neighborhood a TOC Tier 4 developent at 4252 Crenshaw will add 111 units to the neighborhood and another TOC Tier 4 developent at rd St. will add an additional 63 units. And, that doesn t consider the countless additional TOC Tier 4 projects that will inevitably be built in our neighborhood. it is ideal but unrealistic to believe that the vast ajority of the tenants of these no-parking TOC Tier 4 buildings will not own cars in 2019 or 2020 or even So where will they park the? The answer is dear: on nearby residential streets unless prohibited fro doing so. The notion of allowing residents of TOC buildings {where the developers have received generous reduced parking incentives} the right to apply for PPD perits is truly unconscionable and copletely disregards and disrespects the legitiate concerns of the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods. support ass transit for Los Angeles and realize that it can only succeed if people use it. What do not support s the blatant disregard of the needs of the current residents of this counity. Excluding TOC residents fro PPD ust happen. To do otherwise would serve to punish property owners who own cars for being property owners with cars. deand that the city council allow residents of the West Adas-Baldwin Hills-Leiert Park counity to have a say in how to preserve the character of their neighborhoods by oving to support the exclusion of new TOC projects fro neighborhood PPDs. look forward to your engageent with the stakeholders of our counity on a solution that benefits the existing residents.
