Santa Monica Canyon Civic Association

Draft Vision Statement

September 9, 2003

First Draft
SMCCA Vision Statement / Common Values / Principles for a neighborhood plan, residential height district or local zoning plan to include a possible overlay zone and floor area limits
?¼ Landscaping. The current prevailing landscaping, especially the trees, has attracted many Canyon residents and is to be cherished and protected. Environmentally sensible relationships to the outdoors are desired.
?¼ Parking. Expanded houses require expanded on-site parking. There should be no Hillside “hardship” waivers re off-street parking
?¼ Scale of development. Houses should be kept to a scale proportionate to lot size and neighborhood conditions
?¼ Cultural History. The cultural history of the canyon should be recognized.
