SUBJECT: Concern about redevelopment of Television City at Beverly and Fairfax –
Councilmembers Lee, Hutt, de Leon, Padilla and Yaroslavsky:
I am writing to express my concern about the redevelopment of Television City at Beverly and Fairfax.
Though I support the need for a modern studio, many concerns need to be addressed for the project to receive the community’s full backing.
We believe there can be a win-win solution that allows for a viable studio without undue burden on the community. The developer’s proposed project is just 25% studio and 75% office compound.
Eliminating the surplus 550,000 square feet of office space unrelated to studio use would honor the developer’s stated intention to revitalize the studio and their commitment to “being a good neighbor for the long term”.
TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE – I’m concerned about the traffic that will inevitably come with the large redevelopment project. Large construction equipment will clog roads. Using alternative means of transportation, like public transit, is unrealistic at this time, and employees who depend on major streets would rely on cutting through residential neighborhoods to find parking and shortcuts.
STAGGERING SCALE – I’m concerned about the immense scale of the redevelopment project. With the project spanning nearly two million square feet, its impact on residential communities is alarming. It’s not just the sheer size, but also the potential disruption to local services and street life that worries me deeply.
DUMP TRUCKS FOR YEARS – I’m concerned about the potential environmental repercussions of a project of this magnitude on our community. Given that 20-ton trucks will be constantly transporting dirt, waste, and hazardous materials, over a 20-year construction timeline, coupled with the emissions they produce, it’s inevitable that the environmental quality and the residents’ quality of life in Beverly-Fairfax will be negatively impacted.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES – The existing infrastructure and emergency response services currently in place are simply not adequate to support a development the size of TVC 2050. The Environmental Impact Report admits traffic and project uses WILL impact response times for fire, medical and police response and increase the demands for these services.
QUALITY OF LIFE – We’re already exhausted by the noise and disruption of special events at the Motion Picture Museum. The TVC proposal sets no limits at all on special events – or on 24/7 operation of a helipad for VIPs.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important issue.
