MAY 13th COMMUNITY MEETING TO BE HELD AT
WALTER REED MIDDLE SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
The Proposed Studio City Overlay Ordinance Will Be Presented
The SCRA has developed an overlay ordinance, a zoning proposal that is designed to help
retain the character of our community. This overlay addresses overdevelopment by limiting
height and floor areas for residential and multi-residential properties. The proposed
Ordinance will be presented for the community's input during an SCRA-sponsored Town
Hall Meeting on May 13, 2008 at Walter Reed Middle School (4525 Irvine Ave, Studio City)
at 7:00PM.

Note that this is a location change. We will not be meeting at the Beverly Garland Hotel this month.
Mission Statement
Studio City Residents Association (SCRA) in conjunction with its’ sister organizations, Golf & Tennis and Beautification, has built an extensive record of accomplishments. SCRA with over 1800 member households, is one of Los Angeles’ premier volunteer groups representing all of Studio City.
SCRA follows a balanced approach to land use development that has helped stimulate the economic vitality of Studio City, while maintaining the character and integrity of the community. We have also helped in limiting neighborhood projects. The SCRA, with the Chamber of Commerce, started the highly successful Studio City Farmers Market. We have helped the appearance and air quality of Ventura Boulevard by planting street trees. In addition, SCRA has built several traffic islands under the Beautification Association founded by SCRA. We continue to be responsible for the landscaping and maintenance of the large traffic island at Radford and Ventura Boulevards.
Over the years, the SCRA has gone beyond traditional homeowner group concerns to address crime and safety challenges, assisted in informing residents about crime issues through meetings with our Police representative and helped in forming local Neighborhood Watch Groups.
Our community continues to grow and change and we will continue to watch over Studio City.
 A Message from our President Alan Dymond
Dear Friends:
As your advocate for Studio City, the Studio City Residents Association (SCRA) is the only organization that can effectively shape the future of our community. With the challenges of increased traffic, development and mansionization, and the importance of preserving the beauty and culture of our Studio City “village,” now is the time to join the SCRA.
Just drive down any of our Studio City streets, and you’ll see what’s at stake. Oversized condominiums are replacing small apartment complexes. Massive mini-mansions are filling postage stamp lots. Traffic on Ventura Boulevard, Moorpark, Laurel Canyon, Whitsett and Coldwater is rapidly approaching total gridlock. This unchecked growth and congestion has a negative impact on all our lives.
The SCRA is your voice and best hope to preserve the Studio City community!
The SCRA is managed and funded solely by Studio City’s local residents. Our volunteer representatives attend hearings and work with developers and local elected officials on your behalf. Our organization, the Studio City Beautification Association, continues to make Studio City a “greener,” cleaner place to live. The SCRA works with public safety officials to help ensure our members have the information and tools so important for emergency preparedness and overall safety. And the SCRA continues to work on your behalf to preserve our green spaces, especially our Save Studio City Golf & Tennis Association.
The SCRA is the only organization dedicated solely to representing residents in every Studio City neighborhood – from Mulholland Terrace to Beeman Park, Longridge Estates, Town & Country Estates to Colfax Meadows, Tujunga Village and the “Island.” We exist to represent you, your family, your neighborhood and all of Studio City.
IF YOU ARE A CURRENT MEMBER, YOUR MEMBERSHIP EXPIRES JUNE 2008. Memberships are from June to June. With your support, we can continue these activities and more. We can fund our monthly community meetings, hire professionals to fight on your behalf when needed and produce the comprehensive monthly newsletter that keeps you informed and ensures the voices of Studio City residents are heard at City Hall.
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO RENEW OR JOIN THE SCRA. Use this website to pay by credit card or call our office at 818-509-0230 to request that a membership package be sent to you. Your $25 basic annual membership fee ($10 for seniors) or a larger contribution will truly make a difference. Not one penny is wasted.
WE CANNOT DO IT ALONE. OUR STRENGTH IS IN OUR NUMBERS.
TAKE ACTION NOW. Please join the SCRA. Participate in our community. Our goal is not only to maintain but to improve our quality of life. We hope you will help us make that happen.
Sincerely,
Alan Dymond
President Studio City Residents Association
