JOIN THE MOVEMENT TO SAVE HOLLYWOOD!

SUPPORT VISION HOLLYWOOD 2021!

Hollywood Heritage has developed its VISION HOLLYWOOD 2021, laying out principles and positions on how the Hollywood Community Plan Update can be amended to make it truly fulfill its multiple goals. This vision seeks to stop the demolition of historic Hollywood, stop the destruction of historic affordable housing,  stop the displacement of Hollywood’s communities, and instead focus equal talent, legislation, and incentives on optimizing the artistic, beloved, and significant buildings which are the soul of our community.

Through our work we know that Hollywood’s housing goals can be achieved without demolishing a single historic building.  We also know that proposed significant upzoning in the Hollywood Boulevard National Register Historic district can and will negate all of the incentives which are known to work for historic preservation-- such as the Transfer of Development Rights, Federal and State Tax Credits, Adaptive Re-Use legilation etc.

We need your help to tell our leaders to fix this plan! 

Among the items we ask  for are;

(1) Ensure that proposed zoning in the Community Plan Update and the CPIO (Community Plan Implementation Overlay) truly analyze, recognize and integrate the monumental contribution of heritage to Hollywood,  and successfully avoid creating incentives for demolition of historic buildings.

(2) Adopt the full list of professionally identified historic resources effective throughout the Community Plan Area. 

(3)Ensure that the long-standing protections for historic buildings and districts in the Redevelopment Plan area will be implemented, NOT repealed as proposed.

(4) Guarantee that Hollywood’s significant buildings already designated as National Register, California Register, CRA- identified—be treated equally with reviews, incentives and procedures afforded City Historic Cultural Monuments and Historic Preservation Overlay Zones. Provide protections and review processes for Survey-LA identified buildings throughout the Community Plan area.

(5) Ensure that new and additional information regarding the Hollywood Blvd National Register District’s architecturally and culturally significant buildings be formally recognized and incorporated into Land Use Planning and zoning.

Hollywood can and will change, welcoming and housing those in pursuit of a new life, a new career, or a new dream, but it also needs to and can preserve the history, the architecture, the communities and the attributes that make Hollywood home already for 200.000 people and a draw for people from around the world. Hollywood Heritage believes its VISION HOLLYWOOD 2021 will ensure this, melding affirmative planning and productively keeping and celebrating historic Hollywood’s buildings and districts into the future.
