We as citizens are given the opportunity and obligation to stay involved with developments in our area that affect us. Come get involved! After all, it's your community!

The Los Angeles Department of City Planning invites the public to attend an Open House and Public Hearing for the West Adams - Baldwin Hills - Leimert (West Adams) Community Plan. The existing West Adams Community Plan was adopted in 1998 and is being updated to reflect both current and emerging community issues as related to land use. The proposed plan will guide long range planning and land use policies that can help make West Adams, Baldwin Hills, and Leimert Park more sustainable, livable neighborhoods.
This important meeting will be held Tuesday, January 15, 2013, at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center, 4718 West Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90016, from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm. At the Open House, from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm, Planning Department staff will be available to answer your questions. Additionally, handouts, policy documents and maps will be presented. Beginning at 7:00 pm, a Public Hearing will be conducted by a Hearing Officer, who will consider all public testimony and any written communication received. The testimony and the merits of the proposed changes as they relate to existing land use policy and regulations will be considered by the City Planning Commission at a future date. For more information, please contact project staff at (213) 978-1209 or (213) 978-1204 or visit online at http://planning.lacity.org under New Community Plans for all proposed policies.

Our Name
The early Eighth District Empowerment Congress, created by now Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas was a community-based education and mobilization program. It has been acknowledged as the model for the Los Angeles citywide neighborhood council system created by the change City Charter.
We still proudly carry the early moniker in our name as the 'Empowerment Congress North Area Neighborhood Development Council'. You may call us NANDC for short!
Our Community
NANDC is located in West Adams, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Los Angeles, with most of its buildings erected between 1880 and 1925. It was once the wealthiest district in the city, with its Victorian mansions and sturdy Craftsman bungalows home to Downtown businessmen and professors and academicians at USC. In the 1990s, three areas of West Adams were designated as Historic Preservation Overlay Zones by the city of Los Angeles, in recognition of their outstanding architectural heritage.
