BOUNDARIES

1. Describe Boundaries	North: Victory Blvd South: Burbank Blvd East: Colfax Ave West: Whitsett Ave In North Hollywood, 91606
2. Attach a map of the Neighborhood Council	Map_-_Laurel_Grove_Neighborhood_Association.pdf, Map_-_LGNA_Boundaries_1.pdf
3. Explain why these boundaries were chosen. For example, the boundaries may be based on census tracts, on historical landmarks, on existing community planning areas, etc.	Laurel Grove Neighborhood Association was formed in 1999 with these boundaries. These boundaries were picked as it is an area that is not covered by Valley Village, Valley Glen or NoHo. We have community signs which distinguish our Laurel Grove Neighborhood at every entrance into our neighborhood. We also have a park named after our neighborhood, Laurel Grove Park on the corner of Erwin Street and Laurelgrove Ave.
4. Do the proposed boundaries overlap with any other Neighborhood Council boundaries?	Yes
5. If the answer to Question 4 is “Yes”, list the Neighborhood Councils which are affected by the boundary overlap.	Mid Town North Hollywood Neighborhood Council (they just changed their name to NoHo Neighborhood Council) and Greater Valley Glen Neighborhood Council
6. If the answer to Question 4 is “Yes”, explain why you believe the boundary overlap exists. What is the reason for the overlap? For example, the overlapping area may include a park, a school, a library, a facility or a building of historical significance, etc.	The Laurel Grove area did not form our own Neighborhood Council back in 2002 as we were advised by the Community Redevelopment Agency at that time to form larger fewer neighborhood councils in the North Hollywood-Valley Village area. I know this as myself and Jose Vargas who are both listed on this Laurel Grove Neighborhood Council application are the ones who filed the original application for the Mid Town North Hollywood Neighborhood Council. Unfortunately doing this has become as over the past decade as the Valley Glen and NoHo neighborhoods both of which are outside our boundaries, have been more interested in serving their own communities rather than our Laurel Grove neighborhood. We are now seeking to establish our own Laurel Grove Neighborhood Council for our existing neighborhood.
7. Does the Neighborhood Council area contain at least 20,000 stakeholders?	Unknown
8. If the answer to Question 7 is “No”, mark the space or spaces below which apply:	Neighborhood Council is separated from adjacent communities
9. If the population in the Neighborhood Council contains more than 20,000 stakeholders, estimate the total:	Unknown
