Since the LA County Zoning Dept. hasn't returned any of our phone calls for three weeks, we've been a little behind the curve in information about Sahag Mesrob Armenian Christian School's zoning problems.  Neighbors tell us that the school, which received a notice of violation in October, appealed the county's denial of a "clean hands waiver."  The next step in the process is the school presenting its case for appeal of the final violation notice to the a county hearing officer.

Altho' open to the public, that hearing is not open to public comment — it will be between the school's representatives and county zoning staff — but neighbors have been urging each other to attend the hearing, after which a decision is to be made immediately as to whether the school can continue to operate without violating zoning ordinances.  That hearing is:

Neighbors are also being urged to write to the county zoning authorities to have their letters put in the case file for the hearing officer.

UPDATE 11/25: Coleen Sterritt, one of the leaders of neighborhood opposition, corrects us to say that the "clean hands" waiver is not appeal-able, and next week's meeting is an appeal of the final notice of violation.
