Montecito Heights hilltop to become parkland

MONTECITO HEIGHTS – A large parcel of undeveloped hillside will become public parkland instead of a private housing project after government officials pledged $1.4 million to buy the the hill known as Flat Top.

The purchase of about 37 acres is expected to be completed next month, said Megan Moret, press deputy for County Supervisor Gloria Molina, who agreed to use her office’s allocation of Prop A funds to finance the deal. The funds will allow North East Trees, an environmental group, to purchase the property but the City of Los Angeles will eventually take control of the property, Moret said.

The $1.4 million, which will be granted to Northeast Trees through the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority, will not cover the costs of turning the property into parkland or funding its upkeep. It also does not include acquisition of seven acres that includes cell phone and radio towers.

The purchase of the Flat Top, which is owned by The Foursquare Church of Echo Park, is a big victory for residents and community groups that had opposed its commercial development. The church in 2012 notified neighbors that it was preparing to develop Flat Top, a popular neighborhood gathering spot and view point. A development consultant working with the church unveiled plans for about three dozen homes on new streets that would loop around existing transmission towers. That proposal generated heated opposition from nearby residents, many of whom consider the privately-owned land a shared space.

Perhaps the Melrose Avenue store's most striking detail, however, is its third-floor rooftop garden. The 10,000-square-foot space, shown above, resembles a park with its grove of olive trees, decomposed granite walkways, concrete fire pits and raised paver stones. The tranquil space, which is furnished with comfortable outdoor seating, is open to the community as a public space and will be available for special events.

Damn, those photos on the first page are amazing, especially the panos. LA's scale is just breathtaking.

U.S. Bank Tower owner plans to build a rooftop observatory for tourists

Dubbed Skyspace L.A., the rooftop complex will be one of only a handful of such high-altitude visitor venues in the country. It will be operated by the firm that runs the observatory at the new One World Trade Center building in New York.

Admission will cost $25. A trip to the top of Willis Tower in Chicago costs $19.50 — or $45 for a "fast pass" to cut waiting time. At One World Trade Center in New York, a standard admission is $32, and "VIP expedited" entry costs $54.

U.S. Bank Tower is shorter than the tallest buildings in Chicago and Manhattan, but high enough to allow views into Glendale and the San Fernando Valley, as well as to Santa Catalina Island.

"I am sure that we are the only destination that will offer 360-degree views of L.A.," said Lucy Rumantir, chief operating officer of OUE in the Americas.
