Cheviot Hills : Residents Protest Zoning
Members of the Cheviot Hills Homeowners Assn. will present petitions at a public hearing Tuesday to protest a resident’s request to conduct business at his home in an R-1 zoned residential neighborhood.
Jay L. Levy will present his application for a zoning variance at a public hearing at 10 a.m. in West Los Angeles City Hall, 1645 Corinth Ave. He is seeking permission to use his home at 10321 Cresta Drive as an office for his business and financial management firm.
Residents are opposed to the application because it violates existing zoning, which limits the area to single-family residential uses, and because the business is generating traffic and parking problems, according to Dorothy Graves, a member of the homeowner group and a resident since 1950.
Blair Barnes of Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky’s office said that city policy is to exclude commercial activity from residential neighborhoods.
Levy did not respond to requests for comment.
