Studio City (CD4) posted a CIS for CF22-1125 that begins: Historically Van Nuys Airport (VNY) was primarily utilized for general aviation enthusiasts and generally welcomed within, with limited community opposition due to negligible impact on surrounding neighborhoods. Today, VNY is unrecognizable relative to its original footprint – it has morphed over the last 5 – 10 years to such an extent that its adverse impacts on the community are now felt by thousands of residents up to 10 miles away.

You can encourage SCNC to join other SFV NCs in inviting our SoCalSFV Aviation Conusltant to give a Q&A on recent nefarious activity harming the common good including but not limited to: ● a rogue staff member in a council office submitting an unauthorized amendment to motion 22-1125; as well as ● LAWA's defiant and wholly inadequate "Vision Study" that is proving to put the city on course for disaster.

Tarzana (CD3) has been active submitting CIS (community impact statements) for both CF22 1125 and CF22 1489, albeit void of detailed comment to compliment the submissions.  Luckily TNC VNY Ad Hoc is currently reviewing more material and updates from our SoCalSFV Community Group Aviation Consultant so we predict there will be more thoughtful content from TNC soon.

Constituents can encourage TNC to join other SFV NCs in inviting our SoCalSFV Aviation Conusltant to give a Q&A on recent nefarious activity harming the common good including but not limited to: ● a rogue staff member in a council office submitting an unauthorized amendment to motion 22-1125; as well as ● LAWA's defiant and wholly inadequate "Vision Study" that is proving to put the city on course for disaster.  Official website: https://tarzananc.org/

Greater Toluca Lake (CD2) is experiencing an influx of unprecedented air traffic out of VNY due to the unsustainable jet charter volumes that have now encroached their airspace.  GTLNC recently issued two CIS to support Councilwoman Padilla's motions: 23-1338 and 23-1339, both of which were designed to investigate LAWA's management practices and hold them accountable for lack of transparency, community outreach and failing to implement policy to ensure development proposals included critically needed mitigation measures.

West Hills issued a letter to CD12 Councilmember John Lee on January 10, 2024 stating, in part:  "WHNC stands in unity with its Valley neighbors and shaers concern over past and future land use decision at VNY that will (A) adversely impact this Valley and the health of its people, ... (C) ignore the dangerous toxic fume exposures to adjacent valley residents and businesses that are now and will continue to suffer due to the City's failure ..."

Despite BABCNC being significantly impacted by VNY air traffic, LAWA continues to attempt to suppress the voices of Council District 5 residents.  The first attempt was on BOAC's December 1, 2022 agenda when they included the removal of CD5 representation from VNY CAC.  In CD5's defense, residents from neighboring Districts protested LAWA's discriminatory act.

BABCNC submitted a CIS in support of CF22-1489.  Or you can view it directly at the following link: https://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2022/22-1489_CIS_02102023061048_02-10-2023.pdf 

Constituents can encourage the BABCNC to invite our SoCalSFV Aviation Consultant to give a Q&A on recent nefarious activity harming the common good and impacting their community.  Official website: https://www.babcnc.org
