Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council
The Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council is a coalition of four communities in northeast Los Angeles: Montecito Heights, Monterey Hills, Mount Washington and Sycamore Grove (ASNC board page; bylaws), all in the Northeast Los Angeles community plan area. Anyone who lives, works or owns property in the area, or declares a stake in it as a community interest stakeholder, is a stakeholder (Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils).
Latest
The board's Sept. 28 agenda included motions asking the City to halt the Sola Impact development at 5100 S. Huntington Drive until agencies complete an investigation of the work site, a Community Impact Statement to the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners on past ASNC boundary changes, and a $1,500 Neighborhood Purpose Grant to the bicycle repair nonprofit Bicitecla (agenda). Its Aug. 24 agenda included motions to approve a follow-up letter to Councilmember Hernandez about Kite Hill and to select a site for the 2027 neighborhood council election (agenda).
