Sylmar Neighborhood Council meeting, September 24, 2026

September 24, 2026, 6:30 p.m. · Updated October 2, 2026

From official records: On Sept. 24, 2026 the Sylmar Neighborhood Council's board voted 11-0, with six members absent, to support the Measure FD implementation motion (CF 26-1330) if it is amended to apply the measure's first-year revenue to building Fire Station 31 in Sylmar, and to support motions on a City median conversion program (CF 26-1332) and on planting vacant tree wells (CF 26-1333), according to the Community Impact Statements it filed on Sept. 26. Its agenda also listed a 10-lot subdivision of 13191 Fellows Ave., which the agenda says the council's Planning and Land Use Committee opposes. Minutes were not on the City's agenda index as of Oct. 1, 2026, and no later board agenda was posted, so the vote on the subdivision is not known.

As of October 2, 2026, outcomes for the September 24, 2026 meeting of the Sylmar Neighborhood Council come from official records posted so far, such as council files, recorded votes and filed statements. Some results may be missing until the full minutes are posted and read.

12. Subdivision at 13191 Fellows Ave.

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on a tentative tract map to subdivide an RA lot into 10 ground lots, listed as “10-Lot Parcel Map SB684/1123” and “Starter Home”. The item comes from the council’s Planning and Land Use Committee, which the agenda says is “opposed to the preliminary parcel map application”. The agenda says the property is in a K-District overlay, RA-1K, that the 10 parcels would be 4,132 to 4,919 square feet, that a horse-keeping parcel needs at least 17,500 square feet, and that the map would reduce the K-District land area in the Sylmar Community Plan (agenda).

13. Measure FD implementation
