Plan Description: Map F-1 Revised - SFV One District is a modified map designed to take the complaints of the San Fernando Valley and keep them in one district as much as possible. It also meets the Armenian community desire to attach North Hollywood to their communities of interest to the east in Burbank and Glendale. Plan Objectives: Map F-1 Revised - SFV One District is a modified map designed to take the complaints of the San Fernando Valley and keep them in one district as much as possible. Unfortunately, you can't keep them in one district and have enough for the North County to attach themselves to the remaining cities in the foothill communities. Also, the Armenian community expressed an interest to attach North Hollywood to their communities of interest to the east in Burbank and Glendale.This map does the following:SD 1 stays the same as previous in the San Gabriel Valley except moves Covina to SD 5 to meet with their city elected official's request as stated in their letter to the commission and in comments at a San Gabriel Valley COG meeting. Covina has historically always been in SD 5 in the 1991, 2001, and 2011 redistrictings, unlike Walnut which was in SD 5 in 1991 and in SD 1 in 2001 and 2011 and so was not moved. It also adds La Habra Heights. On the City of LA side it keeps Pico-Union whole by jutting west north of the 10 freeway.SD 1 now links Chinatown with Little Tokyo, adds Koreatown, and connects all to the Asian communities along the 10 and 60 corridors. It also adjusts the northern boundary to match the Glendale/LA City limit in response to commissioner Obregon's concerns. It adds La Habra Heights and Pico Rivera for population balance. Pico Rivera was a member of the ACE Construction Authority and has connections to SGV interests such as the Whittier Narrows and railroad traffic so it is not unusual to add them to a SGV focused district. It connects Sunset Junction and Silver Lake and does not split this historically LGBT community. SD 2 keeps the Westside Neighhborhood Council whole and regularizes the boundary to cover the portions of Mid City with a significant Black population. It now stretches to the coast so that the South Bay COG is only split into two pieces. It does not have an odd strip connecting through Dockweiler Beach. Blacks remain the second largest group at about 27% compared to 30% in the baseline map so they remain able to influence their supervisor. It includes Watts, South Central, Ladera Heights, Crenshaw, Inglewood, and Compton, the core of the Black community. South of the 10, it cuts off at the 405 freeway (with the exception of Culver City's extension to the west) as communities west of the 405 tend to be more affluent. It continues to maintain a community of interest along UCLA and covers denser communities of Sawtelle Japantown, Palms, and West Los Angeles near the Expo Line and 405 freeway heavily populated by UCLA students. Although the Beach Cities are also affluent this is more compact and does not take them on a district all the way to the San Fernando Valley. In Downtown LA it regularizes the boundary along 5th Street.SD 3 consists of the San Fernando Valley west of North Hollywood, the Las Virgenes/Malibu COG, Santa Monica, Venice, Mar Vista, Playa Vista, homeowner rich areas of the Westside and areas west of the 405, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Marina Del Rey, the Miracle Mile, Park La Brea, and Beverly Hills. It keeps as much of the SFV as whole as possible while respecting the carveouts requested by members of the community. It does connect some communities south of the hill but they will not be the largest influence and the SFV will be the majority of this district, and does not go south of the airport. SD 4 consists of the SELA communities and the Gateway Cities except Pico Rivera. It also has the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Although not ideal, they are better suited to SD 4 than SD 2 to not further dilute Black influence in SD 2. It keeps Long Beach whole and now includes Lomita, which is more of a working class community tied into the ports than the beach cities to its west. Lomita is also part of LAUSD and Narbonne High School in Harbor City serves Lomita. It includes Carson for population balance and relatively high Latino population (32% CVAP). If it is desired to strengthen the Black CVAP in SD 2 the City of Carson Council District 1 (generally consisting of the part of Carson north of the 405 freeway and Del Amo Boulevard) could be placed in SD 2 and the rest stay in SD 4. SD 5 consists of the foothill cities, north County, and links Armenian-American dominant communities of North Hollywood, Burbank and Glendale. It links the tri cities of Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena together. It links the 210 corridor together except for Azusa, which is grouped with central SGV cities in the state legislative district maps because of commonality of interest. It places Shadow Hills and Kagel Canyon in a more rural district. For population balance it includes the Los Feliz and Griffith Park neighborhoods, as well as the Hollywood Hills and Hollywood east of the 101 freeway. It maintains two CVAP Latino districts (1 and 4 at 53.25% and 51.17% respectively), one Black influence district (2 at 27.16%, after Latinos at 34.56% and above Whites at 25.25%) and creates an Asian influence district (1 at 26.72%). It is more compact than original F-1 on the western edge and central city, with more regular boundaries other than the UCLA extension.A pro or con is that it splits the coastline into three districts. This could mean more focus on the coast, or a situation where the coast is neglected because there is no champion. It should also be noted that due to the use of Redistricting Data Units it is impossible to make clean cuts at freeways or neighborhood council boundaries. Commissioner Holtzman's comments should be addressed in the 2031 cycle.
