1. PlanCheckNC
Empowerment through Education
PlanCheckNC is a unique grassroots networking of Neighborhood Councils to promote more
stakeholder participation in planning and land use issues and make government more responsive
to local community needs. It is the purpose of PlanCheckNC to help Neighborhood Councils and
their stakeholders to have the knowledge and tools to develop a vision reflective of the values of
neighborhood residents and to develop and implement a land use framework that enables all
stakeholders to feel that they are a part of the community, supported and valued by the community
and safe in the community.
PlanCheckNC works to implement this mission
 As the Oversight Committee for the Planning Pilot Program between the Planning
Department and Neighborhood Councils, PlanCheckNC serves as an additional conduit
for communications between the Neighborhood Councils and the Planning Department.
 Through Educational Programming PlanCheckNC acts as a resource clearing house
and training arm for developing and implementing educational programs and training
modules to provide the tools for stakeholders to implement their community vision,
celebrating diversity with mutual respect, to take actions that both improve and enhance
each community.
 PlanCheckNC Issues Forums support NCs in developing resource independence and
fostering a sense of community by emphasizing cooperation, objective discussion, and
synergistic sharing of information and resources.
PlanCheckNC programs are on the second Saturday of the month at 10:00 am at
The Community Exchange, 114 W 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013
