We are thrilled to report that the County of Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission unanimously endorsed enacting a strong policy related to housing in wildfire zones. This policy prohibits new subdivisions in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones unless entirely surrounded by existing built development, connects to infrastructure, and has roadways that can handle mass evacuations. This ground-breaking policy could set a model for addressing fire risk throughout the state. Hills For Everyone testified at the hearing yesterday supporting the policy before it was approved by the Commission. It goes to the County Board of Supervisors next.
