The Department of City Planning and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment will be hosting a series of Planning 101 Training classes throughout the month of August. The training will take place across six regions and they are intended to provide an overview of the basic elements of planning, land use, and zoning. Community members who are new to the planning process or those who would like to get a refresher course, are invited to the following six training sessions (the ones held closest to Eagle Rock will be in DTLA and Glassell Park):
TERA was an early supporter for Vidiots Foundation’s plan to restore the historic Eagle Theatre at the intersection of Eagle Rock Boulevard and Yosemite Drive.
In August 2020, the City of Los Angeles wrongly applied onerous and unfair conditions of operation on Vidiots which would make Vidiots’ operation infeasible and take away funding from Vidiots programming.
Determined to right this wrong and ensure Vidiots’ long term success, TERA filed an appeal to remove these incorrectly applied conditions in September 2020. In December 2020, the East Area Planning Commission approved TERA’s appeal and unanimously voted to eliminate unfair conditions that the City had imposed on Vidiots. Due to a frivolous lawsuit against Vidiots by a disgruntled homeowner, TERA would end up twice more organizing community voices to communicate support for Vidiots in February 2023 and finally in October 2023, both times achieving unanimous approval from the East Area Planning Commission for reduced requirements on Vidiots.
Vidiots opened in June 2023 and has been a thorough success. TERA is proud to have played a part in helping to bring Vidiots to Eagle Rock, and to help ensure Vidiots’ long term success at the historic Eagle Theatre.
The organizers of the Eagle Rock Music Festival are holding a public meeting tonight, July 17, 20017, at 7:00 p.m. at the Center for the Arts Eagle Rock (2225 Colorado Blvd.).
