Summary

The Pacific Palisades Community Council requests Governor Newsom veto SB 9 and SB 10 or require an unconditional exemption for Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, citing public safety concerns regarding wildfire impacts, emergency response, and evacuation plans. The letter notes that Los Angeles City Council has opposed these bills and that the city's Draft Environmental Impact Report recommends excluding VHFHSZ areas from rezoning to meet housing requirements.
