Tammany Hall In Beverly Hills

By Victoria Talbot Buried deep within the attachments of Monday’s City Council meeting agenda on the approval of the Wanda project, One Beverly Hills, was an item regarding former Mayor Barry Brucker, who was compensated as a lobbyist on behalf of the project.

In the last of seven attachments, the City of Beverly Hills City Council agenda had a clause stating that the City received several letters alleging that Brucker “promoted the One Beverly Hills Project” as a lobbyist, urging the City Council to deny the project because of that.

The reason lies in Beverly Hills Municipal Code Section 1-9207, which provides that any violation of the City’s legislative advocacy ordinance “shall be grounds for the City to disapprove any contract, approval, permit, or transaction that was related to any such violation.”

Before the Council could vote on the resolutions to approve perhaps the state’s most lucrative up front development agreement of $60 million, they first had to vote on how to go forward regarding the legislative advocacy by Brucker.

The City Council approved the project (including the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and the Development Agreement) based on the recommendation of City

Attorney Larry Wiener.

“I asked the Council to review the project on a review of its merits, not to deny it based on Brucker’s involvement,” said Wiener. (see ‘BRUCKER’ page 16)

Wanda Project Approved By City Council

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills City Council moved to approve One Beverly Hills Monday with very little discussion and a lot of praise for the perceived thoroughness of the process.

The Council approved a resolution certifying the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report; the amended Specific Plan including luxury residential condominiums and a luxury hotel with ancillary uses, and a Development Agreement.

The Development Agreement will be the subject of a second reading at an adjourned City Council meeting to be held Nov. 29 at 5 p.m.

The approved project converts a portion of the previously approved 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan project from condominiums and retail space into a 134-room luxury boutique hotel with (see ‘WANDA’ page 16)

School Board Says No Temporary Fence Around High School

By Laura Coleman After passing around portions of the proposed temporary fence to surround Beverly Hills High School at Tuesday’s formal meeting, the Board of Education unanimously voted against building a temporary fence.

The unanimous decision to do away with the concept of a temporary fence followed numerous discussions between district officials, an Ad Hoc Safety Committee and the Beverly Hills Police Department.

“This discussion’s really for another board to have,” said Board President Howard Goldstein, noting that any temporary fence put up would be in place for at least four years.

There are currently plans in place to build a permanent fence around BHHS. However, with the construction program at the high school delayed several years, largely due to Board VP Mel Spitz and board-

member Isabel Hacker refusing to support a new school-building bond, the board all agreed that placing a chain-link fence around BHHS indefinitely was not the best solution to enhancing security at the school.

“It looks to me like something that would be around a prison,” Spitz said. “I think if we did it, we’d be very, very sorry that we did it.

The [design for the] permanent fence is aesthetically pleasing.”

Nearly four years has passed since a gunman killed 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, subsequently prompting then Superintendent Gary Woods to work to develop a safety plan to enhance security at all five Beverly Hills public schools.

The board had previously mulled changing the proposed height of the temporary mesh fence from eight feet to 10 feet. It was estimated to cost approximately $120,000.

Beverly Hills Elder: Mitchell Flint, 20th Century Macabee Part 75 in a series on Beverly Hills residents who have grown with the Centennial City

By Laura Coleman Mitchell Flint’s romance with his wife of 57 years, Joyce, began like a Shakespeare play and it all started here in Beverly Hills. His impact on Israel is a story for the ages.

She was on the balcony of her Clark Drive home responding to her neighbor Bill Landis honking the horn of her red convertible parked on the street below when she first laid eyes on the man she was to marry.

“He said, ‘Juliet, your Romeo would like to take you out,’” Joyce recalled of Landis’ prelude to telling her the story of Mitchell, a fighter pilot who’d recently become a lawyer. “I almost fell over the balcony his credentials were so fabulous. It was like instant love.”

At this point in Mitchell’s life, he had fought in three wars (WW2, the Korean Conflict, and the Israeli War of Independence) and was just starting out his family law practice in Beverly Hills.

It wasn’t long before the two were married at the Beverly Hilton and were on the way to having two sons, Mike and Guy.

The secret to such a successful marriage, at least in part, confided Mitchell, is that “Joyce is always right.”

Born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1923, Mitchell’s path to Beverly Hills was an interesting one.

His father, who had been a pilot during the First World War, died when Mitchell was just 15.

Shortly after graduating from high school, his grandmother informed him that he needed to get a job.

2016 California Administrative Code — CCR Title 24 Part 1 2016 California Building Code — CCR Title 24 Part 2 2016 California Residential Code — CCR Title 24 Part 2.5 2016 California Electrical Code — CCR Title 24 Part 3 2016 California Mechanical Code — CCR Title 24 Part 4 2016 California Plumbing Code — CCR Title 24, Part 5 2016 California Energy Code — CCR Title 24 Part 6 2016 California Historical Building Code — CCR Title 24 Part 8 2016 California Fire Code — CCR Title 24 Part 9 2016 California Existing Building Code — CCR Title 24 Part 10 2016 California Green Building Standards Code — CCR Title 24 Part 11 2016 California Referenced Standards Code — CCR Title 24 Part 12

The 2016 edition of the California Building Standards Code as adopted by the California Building Standards Commission (Commission) and published in the California Code of Regulations, is effective on January 1, 2017. The Health and Safety Code allows local jurisdictions to amend the State code based on findings of local geologic, climatic, or topographic conditions. In addition, all local amendments must be more restrictive than the State code and filed with the Commission to be enforceable.

The proposed Ordinance adopts (1) the 2016 California Building Standards Code by reference, (2) amendments to the California Building Standards Code, (3) the 2015 International Property Maintenance Code by reference, and (4) administrative provisions for the administration and enforcement of these codes. All proposed amendments to the state code provide for a higher order of structural safety, fire safety, occupant safety, and environmental sustainability. As required by state law, all proposed local amendments are more restrictive than the state codes and each amendment is justified with the appropriate finding (geologic, climatic, and/or topographic).

The Council conducted a first reading and introduced the ordinance on November 1, 2016 and set the public hearing for December 6, 2016.

All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and should be received prior to the public hearing.

Please remember, if you challenge the Council's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else has raised at the hearing before the City Council or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the hearing.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its meeting to be held on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 7:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, will hold a public hearing to consider: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF DECKS THAT COVER PORTIONS OF DRIVEWAYS THAT LEAD TO SUBTERRANEAN PARKING TO BE LOCATED IN REQUIRED SIDE YARDS, STREET SIDE YARDS, PAD EDGE SETBACKS, AND REAR YARDS AT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES Adoption of the Ordinance would amend portions of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code (BHMC) §10-3-2509 (Permissible Encroachments in Side Yards, Street Side Yards, Pad Edge Setbacks, and Rear Yards) to allow decks located at finished first floor level that cover portions of driveways that lead to subterranean parking as permissible encroachments in required side yards, street side yards, pad edge setbacks, and rear yards in the Hillside Area of the City. Said decks are currently allowed as permissible encroachments in the Central Area of the City. Additionally, BHMC §10-3-2409 (Permissible Encroachments in Side Yards, Street Side Yards, and Rear Yards) would be amended to ensure consistency between the regulations in the Central and Hillside Areas of the City.

Lastly, the Floor Area definition applicable to a single-family residential zone in BHMC §10-3-100 would be clarified to expressly exempt the subterranean space created below the proposed decks from counting as floor area.

The City previously issued a public notice regarding the Planning Commission’s consideration of the Zone Text Amendment. At its August 25, 2016 meeting, the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council approve the requested Zone Text Amendment. At the City Council hearing on December 6, 2016, the Council will consider introducing the Ordinance. The City Council may adopt the Ordinance at a subsequent hearing, and the Ordinance would take effect on the 31st day thereafter.

The Zone Text Amendment has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. The Amendment appears to qualify for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) and a Class 5 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations). The proposed zone text amendment would allow decks located at the finished first floor level of a single-family home that cover portions of driveways that lead to subterranean parking as a permissible encroachment in a required side yard, street side yard, pad edge setback, and rear yard in the Hillside Area of the City. The City Council will consider finding that the Amendment will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. At the public hearing, the City Council will hear and consider all comments. All interested persons are invited to attend and speak on this matter. Written comments may also be submitted and should be addressed to the City Council, c/o City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The comments should be received prior to the hearing date. Please note that any communication received by the City becomes part of the public record.

Please note that if you challenge the Council’s action in regards to this matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at a public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Nestor Otazu at 310.285.1173. Copies of the proposed ordinance, the Beverly Hills Municipal Code and 2016 California Building Standards Code are available for public review and inspection during normal business hours at the City Clerk Office located at 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, Second Floor, Beverly Hills, California.

Beverly Hills Unified School District To Start 2017-18 School Year Aug. 14

By Laura Coleman Beverly Hills families can now safely start planning those summer vacations after the Board of Education approved the district’s ratified tentative agreement with the Beverly Hills Education Association on Tuesday.

The agreement cements a start date of Aug. 14 for the 2017-18 school year, and Aug. 13 for the 2018-19 school year.

“BHEA is pleased that negotiations for 2015-16 have reached an amicable conclusion with terms favorable to all involved,” said BHEA President Telly Tse. “As negotiations begin for this

school year very soon, we are hopeful that the lines of communication between the district and its educators will be stronger and more productive than before.”

The agreement also maintains the current cap for K-3 class sizes at 23-toone and gives the district’s substitute teachers a pay increase.

The negotiations were particularly challenging this time around, with the BHEA planning a rally just before a tentative agreement was reached late last month.

“It was a tough negotiation,” admitted Board President Howard Goldstein.

Beverly Hills Boy Scout Gets Creative For Children In Need

By Steve Simmons How long does it take to convert 184 feet of utility cinderblock wall into something inspiring for the children of the Salvation Army Westwood Transitional Village?

For his Eagle Scout Project, Jeremy Segal of Boy Scout Troop 33 Pack 100 of Beverly Hills led and coordinated 300 man hours of work to realize a mural imagined and designed by artist Kent Yoshimura.

Segal’s father, Gregory Segal, helped him get in touch with Rory White of the Lamp Community, helping Skid Row artists sell their work. His connections put Segal in contact with

the artist.

After meeting with village staff, and seeing the wall, Yoshimura was inspired to design a work with children and a rainbow.

Segal and friends from school, BHHS service club members, Troop members and family members painted for two days to complete the project.

Segal's project also created a set of redwood benches, a table made from scratch, repainted lines for basketball court free throws, and created a four square and hop scotch court.

Troop 33 meets at Roxbury Park, and Segal’s Eagle Scout ceremony is set for December.

Beverly Hills City Council to Consider Home Sharing Ordinance

By Victoria Talbot One of the conditions of approval for One Beverly Hills (The Wanda Project) was that condominium units cannot be leased for less than 180 days to prevent home-sharing services such as Air BnB from getting a foothold in the new luxury condominium buildings.

Councilmember Julian Gold asked that home-sharing in condominiums be placed on a future agenda for the City of Beverly Hills to regulate the practice.

Currently, cities across the

Southland are experiencing the fallout from these short-term rentals in reduced housing stock. Fewer units for rent drives the prices up, giving Los Angeles the dubious distinction of being one of the hardest places to rent an apartment.

It is a free-for-all, with no regulations, no oversight and no taxes. For a renter, there is also no recourse to a bad situation. For the landlord, it is a huge tax-free benefit. Many who rent their homes claim the income helps to pay their mortgages and keeps them in their

homes.

Currently, rental vacancies in Los Angeles are deemed the lowest in the nation at 2.7-percent. Though figures for Beverly Hills are not current, in 2014, the Census Bureau figures indicate 3.9-percent.

The current boom in shortterm home-share rentals has certainly cut into the percentages.

In recent years, the Courier has reported on several renters, often living in the same location for decades, who have (see ‘HOME SHARING’ page 30)

Grant To Study New Way Of Battling Resistant Cancer Cells Yong-Mi Kim, MD, PhD, of The Saban Research Institute of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), has been awarded a three-year translational research program (TRP) grant from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to study a novel approach to eradicating minimal residual disease in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

ALL is the most common pediatric cancer. Forty years ago, only one in five children survived this disease. Today with the development of powerful chemotherapies, more than 90 percent of patients can expect to be cured. Unfortunately, for those children who do not respond to therapy, the prognosis is grim. New approaches are needed for these children with relapsed ALL. Instead of targeting only the leukemia cells, Kim plans to expand the target. “We know that leukemia cells can hide out in the bone marrow where certain other cells shield them from chemotherapy,” says Kim, also an associate professor of pediatrics and pathology at USC’s Keck School of Medicine “The

focus of our research will be on those cells that harbor the leukemia cells.”

The surviving cancer cells have been Yong-Mi Kim shown to be the source of disease relapse.

Kim and her co-investigators have identified a molecule that shelters leukemia cells, an adhesion molecule called integrin alpha4. This molecule allows leukemia cells to remain in the bone marrow, sheltering them from the otherwise toxic effects of chemotherapy.

According to the researchers, there is no treatment currently available that targets this molecule for patients with leukemia. However, a novel inhibitor of integrin alpha4 is being studied for other applications.

“We will test the effects of this novel inhibitor of integrin alpha4 on residual leukemia cells, with the eventual goal of developing it for clinical use,” said Kim.

Horiike v. Coldwell Banker Could Have Multiple And Far-Reaching Implications

Jeff Hyland Talks Trump Effect On Real Estate

By Victoria Talbot A California Supreme Court ruling in Horiike v.

Coldwell Banker finds a real estate brokerage that represents both the buyer and the seller in a deal has the same fiduciary responsibilities to both clients.

Thus, a selling agent that works for the same firm as the buying agent must disclose all relevant information about the property and transaction to the buyer.

The case centered around Chinese millionaire Hiroshi Horiike and Coldwell Banker agent Chizuko Namba when he purchased a $12.25 million home in Malibu sold by Coldwell Banker celebrity real-

By Victoria Talbot Last week, Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland received the “Will Rogers Real Estate Lifetime Achievement Award” at a ceremony at the Montage Hotel.

A legend in real estate, Hyland has had an office on Canon Drive for over 30 years, holding the record for longevity in the luxury real estate market.

Co-author of several books on architecture, Hyland is the author of The Legendary Estates Of Beverly Hills.

A respected mentor, several of Hyland’s agents have gone on to become reality TV stars.

The Courier asked Hyland whether or not a Trump presidency could have an adverse effect on Beverly Hills real estate market.

Hyland, a veteran realtor stated: “People ask me how long I have been in real estate. I tell them ‘four recessions,” demonstrating that he has weathered them all and prospered.

Hyland pointed out that many real estate brokerages

Horiike was born very poor in China and educated in Japan. He does not speak English. He became wealthy manufacturing electronics and now, retired, he lives with three of his 10 dogs about a third of the year in Malibu. He rescues dogs from Asian dog meat producers.

He bought the house after viewing more than 80 properties to find one that met his expectations that it would be bigger than anything he could find in Asia, where land is scarce.

Horiike was represented

by Beverly Hills’ Coldwell Banker agent Chizuko Namba.

The case centered on the representation of the home’s square footage as being 15,000 sq. ft. Two years after his purchase, Horiike learned the house was recorded in building records at less than 10,000 square feet, a third less than he expected. He sued.

“I want justice,” he said in an interview last year. “I don’t want anybody to be cheated by a real estate agent.”

Horiike lost in the lower court in 2012, but he won in 2014 in the California Second District Court of Appeals. The court ruled that, under the state’s Civil Code, the (see ‘COLDWELL BANKER’ page 30)

Real estate markets run in cycles, said Hyland.

“Wealthy people come here to buy homes. It may be $15 million instead of $20 million for the same house, but we’re still going to rock ‘n roll.

If Trump does the wrong thing, we still have the great real estate, and we still have the weather. . . We’re still L.A.” Hyland said.

Michael Arden has loved Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along since he appeared in a production of the musical while in high school. Now he’s bringing the rarely revived 1981 work, with a book by the late George Furth, to The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith Theater, through Sunday, Dec. 18.

As the center’s first artist in residence, he chose the piece, he says, because he’s always been fascinated by its structure. Based on a 1934 Kaufman and Hart play of the same name, it follows the songwriting team of Franklin Shepard and Charley Kringas and their friend Mary Flynn from optimistic college students to disenchanted adults. “It’s a beautiful play about the disillusionment of the American dream,” says Arden.

“How wanting money and success and choices and decisions effect lives.

But the story is told in reverse, beginning in 1976 and ending in 1954. “Its a play that asks audiences to engage,” says Arden. “They have to piece together the strained relationships and the narrative.”

With “the way people absorb information today,” Arden says, electronically and on their phones, it’s easier to do than when the show premiered and ran for a mere 16 performances. “It wasn’t what Broadway was doing at the time.”

Arden also loves what he terms “Sondheim’s most ‘Broadway’ score.” To be performed by a 13-member ensemble using Jonathan Tunick’s original orchestrations, it includes popular songs like

Good Thing Going and Old Friends, “the sublime” Growing Up and Not A Day Goes By, which has become a standard for cabaret singers.

Arden’s cast features Whitney Bashor, Wayne Brady and Aaron Lazar. He wanted a diverse cast, “that represents all of New York City,” the Michael Arden play’s setting.

Arden’s also excited about the show’s dance elements and introducing the choreography of Eamon Foley Arden’s take on the play is a Christmas Carol-esqe view, set in a theater that’s “Frank’s personal purgatory,” where the scenes and stories of him turning his back on his friends for success, play out in front of him. “I’ve always thought this was a great show, but it means a lot more to me now,” says Arden.

“No matter where you are in life, you will see yourself in the characters at a certain point in the play.”

Tickets, ranging from $29-$110, are available at TheWallis.org, by phone at 310-746-4000 or at The Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts box office, 9390 Santa Monica Blvd.

BEVERLY HILLS

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATE: Thursday, December 8, 2016 TIME: 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard LOCATION: Commission Meeting Room 280-A Beverly Hills City Hall (2nd Floor) 455 North Rexford Drive Beverly Hills, CA 90210 The Planning Commission of the City of Beverly Hills, at its REGULAR meeting on Thursday, December 8, 2016, will hold a public hearing beginning at 1:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, to consider a request to amend a resolution that allows a new restaurant with a 100% valet-operated alternative parking facility to be constructed and operate with open air dining and extended hours on the commercial property located at 250-260 North Canon Drive.

The Planning Commission previously considered the proposed project at meetings on September 19, 2016 and September 26, 2016. The Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit, Open Air Dining Permit, and Extended Hours Permit for the proposed project, contingent upon City Council approval of a Zone Text Amendment to allow alternative parking facilities to provide required parking in commercial zones as a pilot program.

The City Council made changes to the proposed Zone Text Amendment in public hearings on November 1, 2016 and November 15, 2016, before adopting the Ordinance on November 21, 2016. The changes made by the City Council require additional and revised conditions to be placed on the project’s Conditional Use Permit regarding employee parking, valet drop-off spaces, and City review of parking reductions and operations.

Therefore, the Planning Commission will consider approval of an amended Conditional Use Permit, Open Air Dining Permit, and Extended Hours Permit that includes the revised conditions necessary to comply with the Zone Text Amendment approved by the City Council. The proposed project at 250-260 North Canon Drive requires the following entitlements: Conditional Use Permit. The proposed project includes a request for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the use of automobile elevators, mechanical parking lifts, and aisle parking to accommodate 102 code-required parking spaces for the new restaurant and existing office building on the subject property. The 100% valet-operated parking would be provided in three subterranean levels accessed from the alley.

Open Air Dining Permit. The proposed restaurant requires a permit for 6,257 square feet of open air dining (216 seats) on private property. The majority of this area (5,342 square feet) would be within the building that would have operable window systems on all three floors and a retractable roof. A smaller portion of this area (915 square feet) would be located in a ground-level courtyard with walls on four sides and no roof.

Extended Hours Permit. The proposed restaurant requires an Extended Hours Permit in order to receive patrons after 10 PM. The requested hours would allow the restaurant to receive patrons until 1:00 AM daily and to operate until 1:30 AM daily.

This project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. The project appears to qualify for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines for in-fill development projects. The Planning Commission will consider finding that the project will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from the provisions of CEQA. Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission. Please note that any communication received by the City becomes part of the public record.

According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

If there are any questions regarding this notice, please contact Emily Gable, Assistant Planner in the Planning Division at (310) 285-1192, or by email at egable@beverlyhills.org.

The proposed Ordinance would include but is not limited to, modifications to BHMC 10-3-409 to ensure compliance with newly adopted state law (SB 1069 and AB 2299) pertaining to regulation and permitting of Accessory Dwelling Units, and to replace the term “second unit” as used in the Municipal Code with a new term “accessory dwelling unit”. Changes resulting from the Ordinance would include modifications to accessory dwelling unit parking requirements, modification to procedures for review of applications for accessory dwelling units, and regulations pertaining to the charging of utility connection fees for certain accessory dwelling units, among other things.

This Ordinance has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the environmental regulations of the City. The adoption and implementation of the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17, which provides that CEQA “does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county to implement the provisions of Sections 65852.1 or 65852.2 of the Government Code.” This ordinance is adopted to implement changes in Government Code Section 65852.2, and thus is exempt from CEQA’s environmental review requirements.

Any interested person may attend the meeting and be heard or present written comments to the Commission.

According to Government Code Section 65009, if you challenge the Commission's action in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the City, either at or prior to the public hearing.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Beverly Hills, at its meeting to be held on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at 5:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, the Council of the City of Beverly Hills will consider adopting an ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS APPROVING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AND WANDA BEVERLY HILLS PROPERTIES, LLC FOR CONSTRUCTION OF LUXURY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUMS, A LUXURY HOTEL AND ANCILLARY USES, AND PUBLIC GARDENS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 9900 WILSHIRE SPECIFIC PLAN FOR PROPERTY AT 9900 WILSHIRE BOULEVARD (THE FORMER ROBINSONS-MAY DEPARTMENT STORE SITE) AND REFERRED TO AS THE ONE BEVERLY HILLS PROJECT. A summary of that Ordinance, which has been prepared for publishing in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 36933, follows.

Summary of Ordinance In April 2008, the City of Beverly Hills adopted an ordinance approving a luxury residential condominium project with ancillary commercial uses and gardens to be located at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard. The project included requests for a general plan amendment, zone text amendment, zone change, the creation of the 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan, and a development agreement for the subject property.

Wanda Beverly Hills Properties, LLC, the current owner of the property, proposed to amend the previously approved 9900 Wilshire Specific Plan and proposes to enter into an amended and restated development agreement in connection with the construction of a project consisting of luxury residential condominiums, a luxury hotel and ancillary uses, and public gardens to be located at 9900 Wilshire Boulevard (referred to as the One Beverly Hills Project).

The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the amended and restated development agreement and, on October 19, 2016, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 1793 recommending approval of the One Beverly Hills Project and the amended and restated development agreement, subject to conditions and with recommended revisions.

The City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on November 7, November 8, November 9, and November 21, 2016 to consider the One Beverly Hills Project and amended and restated development agreement.

The One Beverly Hills Project, including this ordinance approving the amended and restated development agreement, has been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City’s Local CEQA Guidelines. A Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was prepared, and the City Council made CEQA findings and determinations, certified the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

The following is a comparison of significant provisions between the development agreement approved in 2008 and the amended and restated development agreement associated with the One Beverly Hills Project: Additionally, the amended and restated development agreement includes several other changes to its provisions, as follows: The previous development agreement contained an exemption for development fees. The proposed development agreement limits that exemption to five years from the effective date, which may be extended by force majeure after issuance of the building permit.

The previous development agreement had a list of five banks that were acceptable for securing the irrevocable standby letter of credit.

(The irrevocable standby letter of credit secures the Public Benefit Contribution.) This has been replaced with a definition of “Qualified Issuing Bank.” A “Qualified Issuing Bank” is defined as a bank having offices in the State of California and/or the City of New York, that has total assets of at least $300 billion, and an investment grade credit rating from one or more of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, or Fitch. Among the banks that may qualify as a “Qualified Issuing Bank” are several Chinese banks.

In the amended and restated development agreement, transfers to an Affiliate of Dalian Wanda Group Co Ltd. are exempted from the definition of Sales Transactions for the purposes of payment of the Environmental Mitigation and Sustainability Fee. To qualify for an exemption, the transfer must be made within 12 months after issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy or Dalian Wanda Group Co Ltd. must retain fifty-one percent (51%) of the beneficial ownership.

Due to changes in the project, the amended and restated development agreement provides for a bus turnout only along the Wilshire Boulevard frontage and provides for a subway portal only along the Santa Monica Boulevard frontage.

The amended and restated development agreement provides for expedited processing upon applicant’s payment of the applicable processing fee.

Other minor cleanup changes to reflect the change in project.

A certified copy of the entirety of the text of the Ordinance, which was introduced by the City Council at its November 21, 2016 meeting, is available in the office of the City Clerk, 455 N. Rexford Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 and is available for public inspection at that location. For more information, please contact Andre Sahakian, Associate Planner, Community Development Department, at 310.285.1127 or asahakian@beverlyhills.org.

BRUCKER

(continued from page 1)

“I think this potentially is a violation,” said Wiener Monday, though he declined to comment further.

The problem stems from the fact that Brucker became a paid lobbyist for One Beverly Hills after he voted on the project when he was councilmember and mayor during the hearings on the original 9900 Wilshire Blvd. Specific Plan in 2007-8.

The City Attorney’s office investigated the allegations, and summarized these conclusions in a memorandum to the City Council dated November 3, 2016, which was included in the agenda materials prepared for the November 7th hearing on the Wanda project.

First, said Wiener, Brucker’s communications targeted commissioners, not councilmembers, including the Planning Commission that made the recommendation to approve the project to City Council, he said. Second, Brucker’s lobbying was not a secret; he filed as a lobbyist.

And third, his actions “had no influence on the Council.”

Wiener says that Brucker did not approach the council members, according to his investigation.

The prohibition is against approaching all councilmembers and commissioners.

Brucker also approached many community leaders, inviting them to meet at the Wanda Beverly Hills, LLC offices on Canon Drive.

North Beverly Hills Homeowner President and former Mayor of Beverly Hills Robert Tanenbuam reports that, “Brucker called me and invited me to persuade me.

That was the purpose of the presentation, telling us that it was a great project and that it

pilot; I thought, I’ll be a pilot,” he recalled.

Mitchell’s father had taken him on several flights and he always felt comfortable around a plane–in fact, he learned to fly before he could drive a car.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 had just occurred, and galvanized by patriotic duty, Mitchell enlisted in the Navy. Following Naval Aviation training at Corpus Christi, he was shipped off to fight in the Pacific, where he was stationed aboard an aircraft carrier for the next four years.

After the War ended, Mitchell enrolled at UC Berkeley where he received his degree in engineering. Shortly before graduation in 1948, he was approached to fight for Israel’s independence.

It took a long time for him to make the decision to go. For starters, his mother was vehe-

should be adopted by the Council.” Courier Publisher Marcia Hobbs was also present at that meeting with Brucker, invited by Tanenbaum.

To be clear, Brucker was a paid lobbyist for the Wanda project and he was Mayor when the City Council approved the original project in 2008 and those facts cannot be changed to make a more convenient narrative.

City transparency laws strictly forbid lobbying for a project that an elected official voted on. Beverly Hills Municipal Code 1-9-203B says: “Representation By Former Elected Official: No former elected official shall represent, for compensation, any person or entity, by making any communication to the city, if the communication is related to a land use matter which was voted upon by the elected official during his or her term of office.”

Brucker insisted in his defense that the Wanda project is a NEW project. He wrote, “I believed that due to the at least three ownership changes of the site located at 9900 Wilshire, along with the change of use, that the project that was being undertaken was not the same as the project that I voted on when I was on the Council.”

Brucker’s attorneys insisted that the Wanda project before the City Council is a new project. In a letter to Wiener he wrote, “I believed that due to the at least three ownership changes of the site. . . along with change of use, that the project that was being undertaken was not the same as the project that I voted on when I was on the Council.”

As a former planning commissioner and councilmember, Brucker would have known that his argument mently opposed.

“She told me I had already served the country; and so many of my friends had died,” he said.

The second reason Mitchell hesitated was that fighting on Israel’s behalf was treason. In fact, stamped in red on his passport were the words that he was not allowed to serve in the armed forces of a foreign state.

However, President Harry S. Truman (who happened to have been a friend of Mitchell’s father’s and who spoke at Cal’s commencement that year) had just voted to recognize Israel as a state on May 14, 1948, and Mitchell figured if the president could make such a statement, surely he would not face charges back at home. As far as his mother was concerned, he had a plan.

In anticipation of traveling to Israel, just after graduating from Cal, Mitchell went to visit relatives in London, telling his mother he was there to see the Olympic games. While there,

defies the logic that allowed the developers to use a Supplement Environmental Impact Report, rather than having to create a brand new Environmental Impact Report, which some felt would be justified, but would take months to prepare.

The “Revolving Door Prohibition” was created for the express purpose of prohibiting former commissioners and councilmembers from making book on their actions while in office, to “avoid the appearance of undue influence on city officials and elected officials in making governmental actions and decisions,” reads the ordinance.

This project is one of the largest commercial developments in the City with 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. At stake was perhaps one of the largest Development Agreement in State history, including a $60 million up front payout.

That’s a lot of money.

Whether Brucker approached City Council members or Planning Commissioners – or the public – he became a paid lobbyist on a project he had voted on during his term in office, and that is the problem.

Brucker’s activities were violations of the Fair Political Practices Commission, per Gary Winuck, former Chief of Enforcement for the FPPC. “The violation by Mr. Brucker is egregious and offensive. Having former public officials be compensated to continue work on a project they voted for. . . raises questions of whether their initial vote was made in order to ‘feather their nest for the future’. . . It makes the whole process tainted and destroys public trust. . .”

And there is the rub. So he penned a series of postcards that his cousin would send home to his mother detailing places he was going, girls he was seeing–all complete fiction, of course.

“I wanted to help Israel,” he said. “I didn’t want Israel to lose. And I was a qualified pilot.

There weren’t very many of us.”

The planes he flew to fight for Israel were quite horrible, Mitchell said. While serving in WW2 he had flown the best fighter planes around–The Corsair, the Hellcat, the Helldiver, and the Wildcat..

In Israel, the pilots were using trainers as bombers.

“If you flew too fast, the wings of the plane would fall off; too slow, get shot,” he recounted.

But somehow, he always triumphed–which he attributed to training, skill, instinct and luck. Mitchell holds numerous notable aviation feats but he remains most proud over the bombing missions he led over the Fallujah Pocket which

many of the actions taken by the City have undermined the public trust. The maze of double-speak has been on the sliver-edge since Mirisch became mayor and the Wanda-Mirisch battle began.

Wiener insists that this is not precedent-setting, and that it won’t have negative impacts on future development. “Each violation is going to be considered on its own,” he said.

Right. Like this was considered “on its own.”

“Why would a developer who violates City law by hiring a former elected official to exert his undue influence bear no burden for their illegal actions,” asked Winuck. “The ordinance addresses this by ensuring that no further permits or approvals can accrue.

If not, then there is no consequence at all for these actions that undermine the democratic process.”

And that is how Wiener threaded the needle that will the City with an estimated $820 million in the next 30 years from the Wanda project.

This time it is the Wanda project. Next time it could be the Townscape/Frank Gehry project taking the last five square miles of City property, or Lots 12 & 13 being developed as a mixed-use project.

With that amount of money and unfettered access, is there anything Wanda will be denied?

Editor’s Note: Former Beverly Hills Mayors form a large block of the City’s lobbyists and for years, it has been a topic of conversation as to whether this is appropriate.

Mirisch formed the Sunshine Task Force specifically to deal with new regulations for lobbyists. The rules discussed at the last Task Force meeting were not consistent with Wiener’s ‘Houdini act’ this week. helped ensure that Israel survived its War of Independence.

“I felt we’re going to win, no matter what,” he said. “I really don’t know how many I shot down, but they never shot me down. And that’s the most important.”

A year after Israel had declared its statehood, Mitchell took part in a special flyover for the celebration parade of independence. At the front was future President of Israel Ezer Weitzman; Mitchell was the 12th and final pilot to fly in the tight formation–and he is the only one still living today.

Even though as one of the fathers of the Israeli Air Force he was pressed upon to stay, offered the rank of Rosh Kanaf (US Navy equivalent of Commander), Mitchell knew he needed to return home to his mother.

Ironically, just a few days after that celebratory parade flyover–after all the near-death maneuvers he had flown for Israel–a friend of his stopped his

ancillary uses, including restaurants, bars and lounges, a spa, a ballroom and meetings rooms, a rooftop dining area and a motor court, taking up 200,000 square feet.

Councilmember Kathy Reims praised the resolutions, saying, “In my total experience I have never seen a project that has been studied so intensely and in such detail. . . The dispersal of the access points and the loading dock make sense to me.”

Reims is referring to the three left turns on Santa Monica Blvd. from the south side of the project: at Merv Griffin Way, at the hotel’s motor court and at the west end of the property for residential access only adjacent to the Los Angeles Country Club golf course.

The loading dock on Merv Griffin way has an 80-ft. crosswalk spanning the entrance, which will service any pedestrians walking north from the motor court valet parking area on Santa Monica to the public pocket park located on Wilshire.

To access the loading dock, trucks (limited to 30-feet) will enter on Wilshire with a right turn, and exit Santa Monica with another right turn.

The crosswalk is a widened entrance to accommodate the turning radius of trucks and to prevent them from entering the next lane when turning into the loading dock. There is no such provision for the turn onto Merv Griffen Way from Wilshire, or the turn from Merv Griffen Way onto Santa Monica Blvd.

mother at the grocery story and essentially “spilled the beans” about Mitchell being a hero for the State of Israel.

Israel and Beverly Hills have numerous special connections for Mitchell, including being part of UCLA Law School’s first class along with Joe Tilem, a future mayor of Beverly Hills. Later in life, it was because Ben Gurion himself, while on a visit here, urged Mitchell to send his boys to private school if he didn’t want to move to Israel, that his sons attended Beth Jacob’s day school, Hillel Hebrew Academy, before going on to graduate from Beverly Hills High School.

A book by best-selling writer Bob Gandt is forthcoming from Norton Press, two time Oscar nominated songstress Carol Connors has written a song that was inspired by Mitchell's exploits, and a movie deal “Angels in the Sky” is in the works to bring Mitchell’s story to the big screen.

By Victoria Talbot The Beverly Hills community ushered in the holiday season last Sunday at the annual Holiday Lighting Celebration on Rodeo Drive.

Despite the rain, over a thousand guests celebrated a truly unique #OnlyOnRodeo experience which began with longtime Entertainment Tonight host Mary Hart, the event’s emcee, making a $10,000 holiday donation to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and capped off with a spectacular fireworks display.

Before the show, attendees enjoyed complimentary treats from local eateries like Bouchon and Sprinkles with the inaugural “Taste of the Holidays."

Once the program began, spectators enjoyed tunes by singer Megan Hilty, along with

Louis Price, formerly of The Temptations, for a rousing seasonal songfest.

The event also included a special visit from Santa Claus himself, who joined the festivities amidst a barrage of beautiful fireworks that lit up the sky above Rodeo Drive.

Of course, the season is just beginning! Stretching from South Santa Monica Boulevard to Wilshire Boulevard, Rodeo Drive will remain “wrapped” in couture through Jan. 3, with over 10,000 lights illuminating 58 palm trees.

The event also kicked off the opening of several kiosks on Rodeo where people can give the gift of warmth - by leaving gently-used coats - or make donations to the Salvation Army and the Maple Center through the holiday season.

Jen Bloom, director and company cofounder said, “I’m interested in how and why people change. And no one changes more than Scrooge. What does it take? How much must he be shaken to his core before he sees the light.

We wanted to embrace the dark qualities of Dickens’ work which actually is what makes it so much fun…those bone-chilling ghost encounters and the disorienting quality of Scrooge’s experience – really, just how often do you get to visit your own grave? These elements are heightened by the use of shadows in our production.”

With Troy Dunn as Scrooge, performances are followed by caroling and egg nog with the cast.

Performances, at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, and 2 p.m., Sunday, continue through Sunday, Dec. 18, with an added 5:30, Dec. 4 perform-

City Of Beverly Hills Offers Gifting Opportunities For Holiday Season

50 YEARS OF HOOPS – On Sunday, generations of players celebrated the 50 year anniversary of Beverly Hills’ longest-running basketball game, including original players pictured above such as: Michael Ma, Kyle Kay, Dane and Mitch Berman, Scott Shlecter, Mitch Glazer, Abe Glazer, Julian Silver, Andy Cowan, David Katz, Scott and Jerry Redston and Bob Cowan.

Community Basketball Game Celebrates 50 Years In Beverly Hills

By Laura Coleman Fifty years ago, a group of 10 Beverly Hills men decided to shoot some hoops at 507 N. Arden Dr., the home of Larry Cowan. That community game soon became a weekly Sunday morning fixture, over the years evolving to include growing generations.

On Sunday, three generations of players gathered post game at the home of Scott Schlecter to celebrate 50 years of those Sunday morning games.

“There were 10 people that were the nucleus for the game when it started and there are only four of us who are still living,” remarked Jerry Redston, who lived just next door to the Cowans.

After 47 years in the same location, the Cowans’ house was sold when Larry got sick and the game migrated to Hawthorne school before finding a home at 1000 Roxbury Drive thanks largely to the efforts of Schlecter.

At Sunday’s event, which also included awards for the remaining original players, a couple of the “oldtimers” joked about putting on a one-on-one exhibition game.

“All of you who now partake in it, you are partaking in a long a glorious tradition,” declared second generation player Andy Cowan.

Over the years, players have included a former mayor, an Academy Award winner, as well as scores of community members, with ages that now span from 13 to 80-plus.

Recalled Cowan: “Every Sunday morning in my childhood I would be awoken by the shouts and screams and curses...of the whole gang. My dad just loved that game. He loved having everyone over. It’s just amazing that after all these years the game has evolved. It has moved; but it is still one continuous game.”

BHHS Cross Country Season Ends At CIF-SS Finals

By Matt Lopez A magical run for the Beverly Hills High Boys Cross Country team came to a close last weekend at the CIF Southern Section Finals at Riverside City College.

Although the BHHS boys took 16th place out of 25 schools in the Division 3 team race, it didn’t put a damper on what was a record-breaking 2016 season for the the team.

Jonathan Cohen led the charge for the BHHS boys, after setting a school record the previous weekend in the CIF prelims, Cohen took 30th place in 15:30.3 to lead the Normans.

By Victoria Talbot As the year draws to a close, and with Giving Tuesday approaching next week, many people look for opportunities to derive tax deductions through charitable gifting, and the City of Beverly Hills has many opportunities to make deductible gifts cultural assets to be enjoyed for years to come through the City of Beverly Hills Community Charitable Foundation (CBHCCF).

Donations can be directed toward park beautification, historical preservation and restoration efforts or the many cultural and community programs in the City of Beverly Hills.

CBHCCF is a community resource that provides opportunities for taxdeductible donations that enhance the Beverly Gardens Park, Beverly Hills Community Dog Park, Greystone

Mansion & Gardens, Beverly Hills Public Library and Human Services.

These are just some of the many ways your donations can benefit the community.

Online donation options are available for the Beverly Gardens Park Historical Renovation Project and the Community Dog Park through the City’s donations website at www.BeverlyHills.org/CharitableGifting.

Donors may also consider charitable gifting available through the Friends of Greystone, the Friends of the Beverly Hills Public Library and the Friends of Beverly Gardens Park.

All donations are tax deductible but some patrons and businesses require that they be given to a 501(c)(3) organization, and the CBHCCF is pleased to provide that opportunity.

Veterans Conservancy Appoints Former Governors For New Advisory Council

By Laura Coleman Former California Governors Pete Wilson [R] and Gray Davis [D] have been tapped to serve as honorary cochairs of the inaugural Veterans Park Conservancy (VPC) Veterans Advisory Council.

Both Wilson and Davis are themselves veterans. Gov. Wilson served as an infantry officer in the US Marine Corps in the 1950s, with the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Gov. Davis was a Vietnamera US Army Captain with battlefield experience.

Said Wilson: “The grounds of the VA in West Los Angeles represent the debt of gratitude and deserved tribute we owe to all the men and women who have served our country and defeated our enemies. We owe it to them to make livable and comfortable what is now their home.”

Since 1986, the VPC has partnered with the Department of Veterans Affairs to honor and serve veterans at the 388acre West Los Angeles VA campus by helping to provide the best possible

healing environment for veterans and their families.

VPC Executive Curtis Mack said he expected that the appointment would help inspire other prominent people to join the council as well as help shine a light on Veterans’ needs.

“Most people don’t seem to care about Veterans, past, present and current,” Mack observed, noting how many people drive by the national cemetery in Westwood scarcely taking notice of the resting place of 90,000 heroes, including 14 Medal of Honor recipients.

Mack said he anticipated that the council would serve as a way to foster ideas to help honor those who have dedicated their lives to protect Americans’ freedoms–such as by telling the stories of some of those now buried in the national cemetery.

“It is our responsibility and our honor to pay tribute to those who dedicated themselves to protect our freedoms,” Davis said.

Desert Roundup It’s official! Well almost, as the months of rumors can now be put to rest. President Obama and his wife Michelle will make Rancho Mirage one of their post White House rersidences.

The home, reportedly bought by the Obamas in the $4 million range, is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Thunderbird Heights where it commands a view of the western portion of the Coachella Valley stretched out several-hundred feet below.

This purchase enhances Rancho Mirage’s reputation as the home and playground of presidents. Former presidents Eisenhower and Ford had post-presidential homes in the city and numerous presidents put divots in the fairways of the lavishly maintained golf courses.

The Obamas won’t be full-time residents of Rancho Mirage two years from now as they have chosen to remain in Washington D.C. until their youngest daughter finishes high school. But, it’s not too early to say: Welcome home, neighbor! ****** It is rare to find a legal case so appropriately titled than the United States Supreme Court case of Loving v.

Virginia, brought by Mildred Loving, a black woman, and husband Richard Loving, a white man, who had been sentenced to a year in a Virginia state prison for violating the state’s anti-miscegenation statute.

As might be imagined, the story of the Lovings ordeal is the stuff of which quality movies, and actors, are made.

And so it is with the portrayal of Mildred Loving by Ruth Negga, whose performance in Loving earned her the “Rising Star Award,” to be presented to her at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala on Jan. 2. ****** What do actors Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have in common with director/writer Damien Chazelle? They are slated to accept the “”Vanguard Award” for their work in La La Land, a film heralded by Festival Chairman Harold Matzner as “a resonant cinematic masterpiece.”

The film tells the story of an aspiring actress, Mia (Stone), and dedicated jazz musician Sebastian (Gosling), both struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts. Set in modern-day L.A., this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams. ****** It’s almost as if an “A”-List celebrity came to your home and decorated your Christmas tree. A Palm Springs tradition for the past 16 years, ACT for Multiple Sclerosis has had talented designers decorate Christmas trees themed for, and by, well-known stars of film and stage.

These are then auctioned off about a month before three weeks before Christmas at an event known as Christmas Tree Lane to be held Dec. 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel.

PUBLIC NOTICES ORDINANCE NO. 16-O-2712 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS AMENDING THE BEVERLY HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE TO CONDITIONALLY ALLOW ALTERNATIVE PARKING FACILITIES TO PROVIDE REQUIRED PARKING IN COMMERCIAL ZONES AS A PILOT PROGRAM WHEREAS, the City Council has considered proposed amendments to the City of Beverly Hills Municipal Code, as more fully described below (the “Amendments”); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on September 19, 2016, which was continued on September 26, 2016, at which time it received oral and documentary evidence related to the proposed Amendments; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, at the September 26, 2016 hearing, also considered and conditionally approved a Conditional Use Permit to permit use of an alternative parking facility to provide required parking on the property located at 250-260 North Canon Drive as would be permissible should the proposed zone text amendments be approved; and WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing on November 1, 2016, at which time it received oral and documentary evidence related to the proposed Amendments; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the proposed Amendments will result in a benefit to the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, or general welfare, and that such Amendments are consistent with the general objectives, principles, and standards of the General Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Beverly Hills does resolve as follows: Section 1. The Amendments have been environmentally reviewed pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.), and the environmental regulations of the City. The City Council finds that adoption of the Amendments will not have a significant environmental impact and is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15305 (Class 5) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. The Class 5 exemption is applicable because the Amendments result in minor changes in land use limitations regarding the manner in which parking is provided and applies only to properties with an average slope not exceeding 20%. Thus, the City Council hereby finds that the Amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15305.

Section 2. The City Council does hereby find that the proposed Amendments are intended to provide flexibility for properties in commercial zones that wish to utilize mechanical parking lifts and/or automobile elevators to provide required parking. This is accomplished by allowing the Planning Commission, on a case-by-case basis, to issue a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of an alternative parking facility that provides required parking, provided that the proposed alternative parking facility and the use(s) it serves are located in a commercial zone, is 100% valet-operated, and meets other specific criteria. For these reasons, the Amendments serve to benefit the public interest, health, safety, morals, peace, comfort, convenience, and general welfare of both the business and residential communities.

Section 3. The City Council hereby amends Section 10-3-100 of Article 1 of Chapter 3 of Title 10 of the Beverly Hills Municipal Code by adding three definitions with all other definitions in the section remaining unchanged.

The term “Alternative Parking Facility” is added between the terms “Alley” and “Architectural Projections” as they presently appear in Section 10-3-100, to read as follows: “ALTERNATIVE PARKING FACILITY: An off-street parking facility in which vehicular storage is accomplished with mechanical parking lifts and/or automobile elevators that are operated by a valet or other driver. An alternative parking facility shall not be a fully automated parking facility that uses mechanical systems to hoist individual vehicles from receiving areas to separate automobile storage areas without a driver.”

The term “Automobile Elevator” is added between the terms “Architectural Projections” and “Average Roof Height” as they presently appear in Section 10-3-100, to read as follows:

Conditional use permit required. A conditional use permit, issued pursuant to the provisions of article 38 of this chapter, shall be obtained prior to any alternative parking facility commencing provision of required parking spaces for any use.

B. Standards. All alternative parking facilities authorized by a conditional use permit shall comply with the following standards: 1. Except for required ingress and egress, all alternative parking facilities shall be fully enclosed and below grade. Alternative parking facilities and portions of buildings that contain alternative parking facilities shall be subject to Architectural Review; 2. Staging and queuing of vehicles shall occur on private property within a reasonable distance from the alternative parking facility and shall not impede travel and access within the public right-of-way; 3. The alternative parking facility shall be operated by one or more parking attendants, as determined through the conditional use permit process, at all times during the hours of operation, so that it is valet-operated to service the use needs of the commercial facility for which it provides required parking; 4. The design of the alternative parking facility shall meet all applicable California building codes, as approved by the community development department;

1. Site Plan: Submittal of a site plan prepared by a design professional indicating all structures; the alternative parking facility location; number of required parking stalls; site ingress and egress; proposed queuing location; and the identification of adjacent land uses; 2. Operations Plan: Submittal of an alternative parking facility operations plan describing the broadest range of operating hours allowed for the commercial use(s) to be served by the alternative parking facility; the number of parking attendants and working hours; methods for automobile storage and retrieval during and outside of regular business hours; vehicle drop-off and pickup location(s) for customers; vehicle circulation path; location of staging area for vehicles waiting to enter the alternative parking facility.

In an alternative parking facility with multiple automobile elevators, mechanical lifts, or both, each elevator and lift shall be individually operable such that mechanical failure of one would not prevent use of the others.

D. Findings. In addition to the findings outlined in article 38 of this chapter, a conditional use permit shall only be issued if the planning commission finds that: 1. The proposed location of the alternative parking facility will not be detrimental to adjacent property or to the public welfare; 2. Due to circumstances such as lot size, lot shape, lot location, or other existing conditions of the site, the applicant has demonstrated that an alternative parking facility is a reasonable method of providing code-required parking; 3. The use of an alternative parking facility enhances the design of the proposed project and does not result in a substantial adverse impact to the character of the surrounding area; 4 The proposed alternative parking facility and operation thereof will not create any material adverse traffic or parking impacts, traffic safety hazards, pedestrianvehicle conflicts, or pedestrian safety hazards.

E. Conditions of Approval. The reviewing authority may impose any conditions that are necessary to address any potential adverse impacts resulting from the constriction and use of an alternative parking facility to provide required parking, including but not limited to: 1. Inspection Report: A maintenance inspection report and usage report for any alternative parking facility, prepared at the sole expense of the applicant, shall be submitted at any time upon request from the community development department and no less than every six months for review by the city.

“AUTOMOBILE ELEVATOR: An elevator used to move vehicles vertically into and between levels of a parking garage in lieu of the use of ramps.”

5. An alternative parking facility shall comply with all applicable development standards, including those set forth in Article 16.5 of this chapter, and excluding the City’s minimum parking standards if modifications to those standards are approved as part of the conditional use permit;

6.

CITY OF BEVERLY HILLS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 345 FOOTHILL ROAD BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 90210 REQUEST FOR PREQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS AND PREQUALIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR: City Hall First Floor Community Development Remodel Notice is hereby given that the City of Beverly Hills (“CITY”) has determined that all bidders for the City Hall First Floor Community Development Remodel (“Project”) must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid on that Project. This prequalification is valid for a year and for more than one project.

It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to submit a bid, fully complete the prequalification questionnaire, provide all materials requested herein, and be approved by the CITY to be on the final qualified Bidders list. To access the questionnaire, please refer to the CITY’s bid webpage (www.beverlyhills.org) BID 16-30 Construction of the City Hall First Floor Community Development Remodel – Prequalification Package Questionnaire.

No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 2:00 PM Thursday, December 8, 2016. ~Contractors are encouraged to submit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance of the prequalification deadline for this Project.

The CITY will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors with respect to whether each Contractor is qualified to bid on the Project, and reserves the right to check other sources available. The CITY’s decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.

The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a prequalification rating.

While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness.

The prequalification packages should be submitted under seal to the Public Works Department, Project Administration Division, Attention: Lucy Quiralte, 345 Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. The following should be clearly marked on the outside of the package “CONFIDENTIAL REQUALIFICATION STATEMENT FOR THE “CITY HALL FIRST FLOOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REMODEL” CITY CONTACT – Any questions or requests for information can be directed to Contract Administrative Assistant Lucy Quiralte, at lquiralte@beverlyhills.org or by calling 310-285-2541.

APPLICATION OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT Assembly Bill 574 provides that “The questionnaires and financial statements shall not be public records and shall not be open to public inspection; however, records of the names of contractors applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure” under the Public Records Act. (Section 20101[a]). Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.

The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and to make all final determinations. The CITY may also determine at any time that the prequalification process will be suspended for the Project and the Project will be bid without prequalification.

Contractors may submit prequalification packages during regular working hours on any day that the offices of the CITY are open. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business

days after submission of the information.

The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are not provided by the due date indicated above. There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time for submitting prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its sole discretion.

In addition to a contractor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to the scoring system set forth in the prequalification package, a contractor may be found not prequalified for either omission of or falsification of, any requested information.

Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify, an appeal can be made by the unsuccessful Contractor. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the CITY of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification rating, no later than two business days following notification that it is not pre-qualified. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive notice of the appeal hearing. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the CITY, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding.

If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal, a hearing shall be conducted no earlier than five business days after the CITY’s receipt of the notice of appeal and not later than five business days prior to the date of the Notice Inviting Bids for this Project. Prior to the hearing, the Contractor shall, in writing, be advised of the basis for the City’s pre-qualification determination.

The hearing shall be conducted by a panel consisting of three members of the City staff (the “Appeals Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall consider any evidence presented by the Contractor, whether or not the evidence is presented in compliance with formal rules of evidence. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present evidence, information and arguments as to why the Contractor believes it should be pre-qualified. Within one day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written determination as to whether the Contractor is pre-qualified. It is the intention of the CITY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process.

Will Rogers Award Winner Tim Campbell Has Eye For Restoration

By Matt Lopez Architect Tim Campbell of Los Angeles-based Campbell Studios hasn’t exactly stopped to take much time and revel in his accomplishments.

Fresh off a 2016 Will Rogers Award for his restoration of 1113 N. Beverly Dr., Campbell is already thinking ahead.

“There’s never time to stop and reflect,” Campbell told the Courier. “I generally kind of do my work and keep my nose to the grindstone, but it’s wonderful to get the recognition for my client, who really put his money where his mouth is with respect to preservation.”

1113 N. Beverly Dr., winner of the Will Rogers Award for Outstanding Historic Restoration, was the latest in an increasingly long line of highprofile properties Campbell has restored. That list includes the Colony Palms Hotel in Palm Springs and the Richard Neutra Singleton House.

Designed by famed midcentury architect Rex Lotery in 1960, Campbell added an

additional 2,500 square feet of main level and 2,500 square feet for a basement parking structure to the single-family residence.

Campbell credited the property owner with fully embracing the sacrifice it would take to restore the home.

“The quality of materials we were able to use was because the client had a dedication to quality,” Campbell said. “The number one question I get from homeowners is how much it’s going to cost, but I try to stress to clients who

own architecturally significant homes is it’s more than ownership, it’s stewardship.”

Campbell, who learned under famed architect Martin Weil, said he embraces a design aesthetic that aims to keep his own personal style out of the equation.

“I take as gentle an approach as possible, I don’t want to leave my imprint on the project. I want it to seem like it was never there,” Campbell said, noting that the 113 N. Beverly Dr. project is designed so “a layperson would be hard pressed to know where the original house ended and the new house started.”

Campbell noted the importance of a collaborative effort in such large-scale restoration projects, and said contractor Gordon Rattigan played a major role in the 1113 N.

1113 N. Beverly Drive

Beverly Dr. project coming together.

“It doesn’t happen because of one person, I’ve worked with Gordon in the past and he’s fantastic at what he does, you need full cooperation from everyone involved.” Campbell said.

Beverly Hills has taken aggressive steps in preserving and protecting culturally significant homes in recent years, with the creation of the Cultural Heritage Commission.

The City recently earned an A+ grade from the L.A. Conservancy.

“The City of Beverly Hills has done a lot in recent years

to become a major force in residential restoration,” Campbell said. “I hope to see other cities that are a little farther behind follow suit.”

Campbell, who maintains an office in New York as well as Los Angeles, said he has plenty of other projects coming down the pike, including another preservation of a Rex Lotery home.

Editor’s Note: The Courier and its publisher take pride in having been involved in the formation and continued success of the cultural heritage and restoration efforts in the City of Beverly Hills.

been evicted only to have their units refurbished and leased for lucrative short-term rentals.

A quick look at the shortterm rentals listed online in Beverly Hills bears this out, with many former apartment units renting for hundreds of dollars a night.

Tactics to force renters to move include the use of the a 10-percent rent increase per year, jimmy-rigged repairs, no repairs or maintenance and withholding a lease in favor of month-to-month rentals to drive renters out of the building. Landlords can evict tenants on a month-to-month

with a 90-day notice.

Unfortunately, Gold only spoke of regulating condominium units, which are treated the same as rental units in the Municipal Code.

The problem is widespread. Besides evictions, there are several reports of short-term rental “party-houses” in residential neighborhoods, which are a nuisance to the locals at best, and takes up valuable BHPD resources.

Three years ago, the City welcomed the AKA Hotel’s model of long-term stays, forging an agreement that tacks on a hefty surcharge for the City for shorter-term stays. The hotel is designed for long-term

For stays less than 30 days, there is the standard TOT of 14-percent plus a 6-percent Municipal Surcharge, bringing the tax to 20 percent. That is a tax the City of Beverly Hills is not receiving for every short-term homeshare rental.

Surrounding cities, including Los Angeles, Malibu, Santa Monica and West Hollywood, are either considering such ordinances or already have them in place, putting the pressure on Beverly Hills to follow suit or be the only unregulated City in West LA.

Neighbors of the home made a big push to councilman Koretz’s office, expressing concern that such an architecturally-important asset could be under the threat of demolition and wanted it to be protected.

brokerage owed fiduciary responsibility to Horiike because both the buyer’s and seller’s agents worked for the same firm.

The California Association of Realtors filed an amicus brief saying that any limits on transactions made on behalf of the buyer and the seller within one agency would “limit the pool of buyers.” The organization represents almost 200,000 licensed real estate agents statewide through advocacy.

The National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents also filed a brief in support of Horiike, contending that, “Buyers and sellers will find themselves ‘represented’ by brokers and associates working both sides of the fence to their own advantage, without owing at L.A. City Council to preserve the home as a Historic Cultural Monument.

“It is imperative that the City’s historic-cultural resources are celebrated and its historic architecture preserved for future generations,” Koretz wrote in a motion for approval to the L.A. City Council. “The Wallace Neff House is an

The ruling did nothing to bar dual representation, but it did alert realtors to understand their accountability to both parties, buyer and seller. All the conditions must be disclosed in a dual-broker deal.

Written by Justice Leondra Kruger, the ruling said that the seller’s agent had the same responsibility as the buyer’s agent – “to learn and disclose all facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the property.”

The ruling acknowledges that there are potential issues, but advises that if realtors are uncomfortable with that, they should work to change the law.

With the ruling, Horiike can now take the case back to trial. architectural treasure that exemplifies the work of Master Architect Wallace Neff.... and the design is part of his notable French architecture style.”

BEVERLY HILLS

Chairman 2014 Paula Kent Meehan President & Publisher Marcia Wilson Hobbs As a concerned parent and resident of Beverly Hills, during the past year and a half, my family has been attempting to help improve the traffic safety situation in the City, especially around the schools.

Of all the problem areas in town, none are more problematic than at El Rodeo and the preschool at the Presbyterian Church. We ourselves invested $500 in custom “Slow Down” and “Drive Like Your Kids Live Here” signs and placed them around the problem areas. All of them were removed.

Why would anyone take down a sign about child safety?? Pretty bizarre, but we will never give up because our children’s lives are at risk. The good news is just a few simple changes would reduce the risks by at least 90-percent. We have attempted to offer these solutions, but it seems so far this matter is not being taken seriously. I understand we’ve all been distracted with the recent election and the City has a lot on its plate with the current development projects, but this issue takes precedence over it all.

Aside from the topic of improving traffic safety measures, to force drivers to slow down and obey the law, what I find most disturbing is the negligence and poor judgement of parents and their ridiculously unqualified nannies. Virtually all cases of children being hurt in our society–be it getting hit by a car or being abducted or molested etc.–can be traced to parental negligence. For example, most do not know it is actually illegal to leave a child unsupervised, yet every day in the news we see a case where one was left at a bus stop or while walking home alone was assaulted or abducted.

Then we have the knee jerk reaction to find the predator so we can feel a sense of justice and focus our hate on the evil person, instead of taking responsibility for our own children and holding parents and adults responsible for protecting their own. Vengeance and justice after a tragedy doesn't bring back a loved one. Meanwhile, there's a thousand more predators waiting around the next corner and kids being thrown to the wolves. This is a deeply rooted, cultural dysfunction which must become part of a national conversation on child safety.

Every day we drive by the preschool on Rodeo multiple times and see the most outrageous stupidity–parents and nannies running across Rodeo, jaywalking, with babies in arms, narrowly avoiding being hit by a car. This is absolutely unacceptable.

Not only does it put these innocent children at risk, it puts all of us drivers at risk too. If someone gets hit by a car, guess who will get blamed? The driver of course. The news media, in its typical fear and hysteria spin on things, always blames the drivers for hit and run cases even though, most times, we find out the pedestrian was not crossing a road legally. Thus the mentality is to be a victim instead of taking action and holding all parties responsible.

We are all responsible here to make this right, and no one holds all the blame either.

For the love of God, we must fix this A.S.A.P. This tiny stretch of Rodeo Drive in front of the preschool is a notorious spot–you have lost tourists making u-turns there all day long and pedestrians jaywalking from all directions. The little median posts that are there are constantly being run over.

But mostly it's the pedestrians and parents who refuse to use the crosswalk at Santa Monica Boulevard and instead make a mad dash across the road. Many will stand in the median tripping over the shrubbery just inches from speeding cars. In the mornings, drivers going south on Rodeo have a blinding sun glare and seeing these pedestrians is difficult if not impossible. And of course these drivers are all speeding because there is insufficient school zone signage.

The solution? Create a solid median to prevent tourists from making the u-turns. Since we can already assume most people will still be too lazy to walk 20 feet to the crosswalk at Santa Monica, we must then add a new crosswalk at Park Way and where the current median posts are located. And it must have a flashing light or a lit crosswalk on the pavement for better visibility. At the very least a large crosswalk sign.

The last suggestion I offer is please have a talk with the parents and nannies at your school and ask them to stop running across Rodeo and breaking the law!!

****** The rock band–The Eagles–most famous album is Hotel California and the cover shot is The Beverly Hills Hotel amidst a hazy sunset. The title track contains the famous line “you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.” That’s how many of us feel about living in Beverly Hills...once you’re a resident, it’s hard to live anywhere else. My mom used to tell me that all the time about relatives of mine who lived here and never moved from this majestic and yet cozy suburb.

Of late, I have had my own “ah” Beverly Hills moment, as my family home in Encino (which I grew up in and love so much) has become available for rental again as the tenant we rented to four years ago left. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long since my brother Bobby passed away, leaving the family house empty for the first time since 1963. My wife Brigitte and I decided that we wanted to stay in Beverly Hills because of El Rodeo School for the girls and all the other things we love about our neighborhood: safety, polite service everywhere, incredible walking capability with sidewalks, and of course, the venerable Fountain Coffee Room at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Even The Eagles couldn’t leave there it seems.

It says something about the drawing power and quality of life here in our fair City that even the allure of a four bedroom house with tremendous sentimental value to me can’t trump the value of living in a quaint apartment in a place where my whole family is happy and thriving. During the past 13 years, Beverly Hills has become like a good buddy of mine. I have to stay and be friends with my City a while longer.

I suspect many of you who live or work here feel this way. Beverly Hills is both a brand and a lifestyle experience that until you’ve had it, you don’t really understand the power and the allure of it. I don’t mean the ritzy shops on Rodeo or the expensive real estate north of Santa Monica, but instead the true test of any city: to keep it’s community members loyal while refusing to live anywhere else, even if you had a larger living room, rock waterfall in the backyard, and circular driveway for six cars like my parent’s house does.

I can’t turn my back on my buddy Beverly Hills.

Hal Lifson ****** Congratulations to the Beverly Hills City Council for its stand against the BDS and UNESCO. Now, do stand up with our new president-elect.

Apparently there was an appearance of 30 righteous residents of this City requesting that our council members representing us to make sure they tell the world that we don’t believe in hate.

That is a great concept, however, in this case hate is not an issue. Their need was to moan and cry about the defeat of Mrs. Clinton which in my view meant the end of an era where anything goes and punishment is relinquished. Mr. Trump will make changes to the time when our police are the enemies and vandals triumph, a time when Israel has no history in Jerusalem and the temple never existed and the location tomb of the patriarchs belongs to people who arrived 800 years after the destruction of such temple. We have also witnessed UNESCO’s desire to remove Israel from the map, and that our campuses have become unsafe for Jews.

Now we have persons of 30+/- who want to talk about hate?

I didn’t hear a peep from these same protesters when foreign tourists harassed Jews on our own streets or when the same foreigners raced their cars through the residential area without a care for our law. Where were these saviors from hatred when Black Lives Matter was speaking up against Israel and the police? Why don’t they realize the difference between the freedom to think and their right to be a follower?

Barbra Streisand et al are waiting at the Canadian border, but can’t seem to say the final good-bye. I will remain with my favorite cowboy...

Clint Eastwood.

Finally the Democrats are so great that the new speaker of the house is a surrogate of Louis Farrakhan and yet you complain about Trump?

In sympathy with my fellow Mexicans, I will attempt to import water from TJ to 90210. If I can't, then I highly recommend SodaStream.

Astrology

By Holiday Mathis TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 25). If you absolutely had to distill the meaning of life into one word, your word would be “love.” You’ll live, give and have so much of it this year, you’ll be pinching yourself at times to make sure you’re not in a dream. The new year will bring different professional opportunities. A contract in March is a turning point. Leo and Gemini adore you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As conclusive as it may be, the evidence that, as of yet, has gone undiscovered cannot be factored into your decision. Buy time. Delay the conclusion. You need to know more. Don’t act now. Better to wait and see.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone is trying to convince you that the story is neither true nor false -- that the amount of truth it holds should be enough. Let this be a red flag. The fuzzy logic won’t hold over time. It’s true or it’s not. Probably it’s not.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No more messing around. You don’t need inspiration or research or tools. You just need to get in there and put the hard work in. You can have this finished in a few hours if you apply yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). The commercial world is a messy plurality of objects and services that is organized, thankfully, into a monetary system. Today it will help you to remember that this concept of money isn’t fixed or absolute. Negotiate.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). In the name of understanding where another person is coming from, you’ll learn about things that don’t interest you or take part in activities you never thought you would. It will either build character or the relationship or both.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). You’re going to change but not lose whom you are, though. By arranging the “you” differently, you'll appear to be, and therefore experience life as, someone else.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're in a sweet position to negotiate, because you don’t really need the thing you’re bargaining for. Be ready and willing — almost eager—to walk away from the deal, and you’ll get the best one imaginable.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When others treat you poorly it doesn’t bring your value down; it brings theirs down. If this happens, remain reasonable and rise above it. If, from that view, you still think a sharp response will help, apply it mindfully.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a new deliberateness to your being. You show up, tune in, keep flowing attention to what you're doing and execute the action like it's the only thing that exists in the world moment.

For you, it is.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make your point, but don’t present it as though it’s the absolute way and truth. You’ll be more convincing if you present it as one good option. Bring up the opposition, if only to prove you understand what you’re up against.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). These are normal conditions—no extenuating circumstances here to factor in. Therefore, what you see is not only what you get: It’s what you’ll get more and more of. Is that acceptable to you?

If not, do something now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who believe that the morally correct thing to do is that which results in the happiness of the majority. You know better. Right is right, and wrong is still wrong even when it’s the popular choice.
