They want to send their scilon rays to a city that doesn't want their scilon rays. Can't they take a hint? Obviously they can't. Imagine if you invented a cult lead by children who thought they could save the world but who really not only couldn't save it but didn't even remotely understand it. That would be scientology.

Canyon News has a story about the sign, and LFNC meeting. Apparently they didn't get the word about the sign discussion being postponed.

I didn't get the word either (about the postponement), so I went to the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council Meeting last night. Saw some friends there who also thought it was going to be discussed. I asked around, but nobody seemed to know the reason for the postponement. Anyway, it was very mysterious at the time, but reading this thread has clued me in to what's been happening behind the scenes. Watching the approval process for other issues was interesting. Based on that, it seems unlikely that this council will approve any of the characteristically gaudy and culturally insensitive stuff the cult puts up. The Los Feliz stakeholders like their neighborhood the way it is.

I cannot wait to see their CNN news shows. At this point I've seen every video on youtube and need more entertainment. Hey maybe Tom will do a sitcom. LRH and Xenu have to share a blue bus with a bubbly blond.

Lynn - If you hear anything on why the discussion of the sign was postponed, let us know please.

Whoever gave the initial approval for that monstrosity needs to learn how to look up special zoning rules for things like antennas. I'll bet all they did was look at the sign rules.

Scientology Los Feliz Sign Hearing Delayed Again

Scientology Los Feliz Sign Hearing Delayed Again.

Canyon News: Scientology Sign Hearing Delayed Again

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

After being rescheduled once, The Church of Scientology has requested a second delay on the hearing regarding their plans to hang a 15-story LED sign of their logo on Sunset Boulevard.

The original public hearing had been set to occur on June 16 in front of the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council (LFNC) during their monthly governing board meeting. It was then rescheduled to July 21 at the church’s request, in order to allow them more time to prepare their case.

Again, the Church of Scientology has asked for another postponing in order to give them more preparation time.

The LFNC “officially advises the Mayor, City Council and City Departments on behalf of Los Feliz on all things municipal” and are “a conduit to city hall, dedicated to keeping the neighborhood a great place to live, work, and play,” according to their website. It is comprised of and executive committee and 16 governing board members. These members each represent a different sub-committee focused on specific topic areas, including public safety, neighborhood improvement, education and environmental affairs.

The July 21 LFNC meeting, which began at 7:34 p.m. and lasted nearly five hours, featured a period of public comment about the proposed signage, despite the church’s absence.

Resident Frank A. Novak asked, “Why do they need their logo to be seen by thousands of homes for miles? Do they feel the need to loom over us like some great overlord with a laser bright LED lit sign?” Novak also expressed concern for the possibility that allowing this sign would set a precedent for other people and organizations to do so as well.

“Let’s preserve our calm neighborhood visual environment and not allow anyone to commercialize and blight our peaceful sky,” suggested Novak.

The LNFC also received public comment cards from five other members of the Los Feliz community.

As of now, the Church of Scientology has yet to provide an exact date for their rescheduled hearing.

Scientology Inc does not deserve Iconic status.
It does Nothing, NOTHING for Hollywood or Los Feliz.
They have done nothing for the poor, nothing for the Homeless that live on the Streets in Hollywood, no battered woman's shelter is supported, no soup kitchens funded by them, in fact these down and outs are labeled "degraded beings."
Scientology Inc is a criminal cult, predatory and living with thumbing their nose at paying their fair share of taxes while leeching off Tax paying citizens and having their Sea Org members get free medical at the medical center of County USC. It takes free city services use of police, fire, 911, completely utterly with no exchange ~~ a net drain on the community.

While indulging in their (now well known) criminal acts of kidnap, held against will, slave labor, sleep deprivation and other revelations on HBO documentary "Going Clear"

A self-aggrandizing CULT that wants to put a Las Vegas Casino sign (15 stories high !!!) in Los Angeles. What the cherch won't tel Angelinos, however, is that Scientology Inc is a rigged casino. LOL

Does anyone know if anything is happening with this since $cientology backed out of the July meeting?

Have they quietly backed out of the idea because they couldn't buy, or sue, a way around the special zoning rules for antenna??

The Los Feliz Ledger has the story.

Los Feliz Ledger: Scientology’s Controversial Lighted Logo Installed

http://www.losfelizledger.com/article/scientologys-controversial-lighted-logo-installed/

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

By Allison B. Cohen, Los Feliz Ledger, June 30, 2016

[SNIP]

The organization submitted design plans for the lighted logo to a committee of the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council in 2015, which ultimately recommended to its larger board to not approve it, as some local residents expressed concern to the committee the logo was “intrusive,” “an eyesore,” and would beam light directly into their windows.

The issue was to have been brought before the full 19-member LFNC governing board — which serves as an advisory board to the city on local issues — last summer, but the church’s representatives requested the item be withdrawn.

Most expected the church would present revised plans to the LFNC based on community concerns. But they never materialized.

“There has been no communication by the [c]hurch with [the] LFNC regarding this proposal since,” June of 2015, said Luke Klipp, the LFNC’s new, recently installed president, in an email. “The first any of us had new information was when the [c]hurch began installing the logo on a weekday evening a few days prior to the studio’s grand opening a few weeks ago.”

According to Klipp, the logo appears to have been possibly enlarged from plans the LFNC committee saw last year.

Ultimately, the church received approval from the city departments of Building and Safety and City Planning for the signage.
