Culver Crest Neighborhood Association

The Greater Baldwin Hills Alliance (GBHA) is a working group within the Community Health Councils (CHC), that consists of neighbors and homeowners associations from neighborhoods that flank the Baldwin Hills Oil Fields, united in their goal to ensure that the new regulations regarding the oil fields are the best possible.

The Culver Crest Neighborhood Association is part of the GBHA.  Board members of the CCNA have been regularly attending GBHA meetings, coordinating strategies, and coming up with solutions.  Included in that solution is their (our) own Community Standards District (CSD) that was written as a better alternative to the one from the County (which was originally written by PXP Oil).

We say “our” because one of the key members of the GBHA and primary author of the GBHA CSD is Ken Kutcher, who is an advisor to CCNA’s Board of Directors.

CSD stands for Community Standards District, and is a zoning overlay for a particular area or region that legislates what can or cannot be built or how how a business can or cannot be run in that given area.

Elections are held at the last general meeting of the year. Anyone can nominate you, as long as someone ’second’s your name. Elections are always for all nine board seats, though lack of nominees may result in a vote for the slate of candidates.

The CCNA has general meetings about once per quarter. Our Fall/Winter meeting usually has elections for board members. Click here for our calendar.
