Lands at Risk: Pacific Heights

undeveloped hills west of Schabarum Park and north of Powder Canyon in La Habra
Heights.

Heights in unincorporated Los Angeles County. Follow this link to view a map of
the Pacific Heights project.
STATUS
The Regional Planning hearing took place downtown Los Angeles
on January 14, 2004. After reviewing the testimony of the developer, local
residents and staff recommendations, the commission gave the developers a number
of tasks to work with Regional Planning staff. First, the developer was asked to
address the potential for grading failures by reducing the area to be graded and
the amount of grading to take place. Second, they were asked to review with the
local water company the size and location of the development’s water tank.
Third, the developer was supposed to create an alternative plan with the minimum
number of units that would still be economically viable. Finally, they were
asked to reduce the oak tree to be cut in the grading for this development.
Pacific Communities was then directed to return on March 17 with this new plan.
The developer took no further action and the project is limbo yet again.
