“Los Angelas County officials considered a new land use plan, one that would control building decisions for Altadena and the Surrounding area for decades to come… Building regulations decisions generally fall on local elected officials who have to balance their constituents’ concerns about land use with the reality of a national housing shortage and growing threat of extreme weather. As a result, few communities around the country have adopted strict development limits to reduce the risk of disasters. Now, as it picks up the pieces after the fires, Altadena will follow those new development rules as it rebuilds…. Altadena Had already been trying to plan for wildfires… Boosting Housing is one big focus… the county needs to add more than 90k housing units, part of state requirement. The plan rezones land to allow for higher density of buildings and apartments along Altaden’s central corridors, where there’s already access to transportation and services.”
