We the undersigned concerned citizens and the residents of West Hills (north of Roscoe Blvd and west of Valley Circle Blvd) request that the Los Angeles Department of City Planning remove our area of West Hills (indicated on map) from the proposed boundary change in the Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills Community Plan. We respectfully request that our neighborhood remains in the Chatsworth-Porter Ranch Community Plan. Please understand that our area's geographic location, cultural needs, and rural lifestyle have always been far more congruent and in harmony with the Chatsworth-Porter Ranch Community Plan and the Chatsworth Lake Manor Community.

You should also know that the West Hills Neighborhood Council proposed these changes without consulting the affected residents in this area.

We also request that the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners move the West Hills Neighborhood Council boundaries at the same location into the Chatsworth Neighborhood Council boundaries and jurisdiction, with the additional inclusion of the entire Chatsworth Nature Preserve. This is due, primarily, to the fact that our needs are fundamentally different from those of West Hills south of Roscoe Boulevard. Residents in this neighborhood will retain their West Hills addresses, but the Chatsworth Neighborhood Council will undoubtedly be able to better serve and understand our needs.

Please place your street address or just street name in comments if you live in the northwest area of West Hills.
