Re: The New Century Plan: Agreement as to the Coalition

Dear Mr. Eveloff:

Thank you for the opportunity to work together to address the concerns of the Coalition, which include the California Country Club Homes Association, Cheviot Hills Homeowners Association, Cheviot Hills Traffic Safety Association, Overland Avenue Community, Tract 7260 Homeowners Association, West of Westwood Homeowners Association, Westwood Gardens Civic Association, and Westwood Homeowners Association (the “Coalition”), who have together filed a City of Los Angeles appeal (the “Appeal”) of the New Century Plan (the “Project”). We are pleased that the Coalition and Westfield, LLC, the Project applicant, have been able to reach an understanding and agreement regarding the Project as outlined in this agreement (the “Agreement”).

As detailed below, Westfield agrees to provide funding for transportation and school improvements within the areas of the Coalition. In return, the Coalition agrees to dismiss the Appeal and to support the Project and the Project’s entitlements and environmental clearance under the California Environmental Quality Act, which are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the Project Approvals and more fully described in Attachment A, that are currently being considered for approval and certification by the City of Los Angeles, including any future modification which does not increase the Project’s size or traffic impacts on the Coalition. By signing this Agreement, all parties memorialize this mutual understanding...
