Summary

The Pacific Palisades Community Council requests urgent assistance from Councilmember Bonin and LAFD Deputy Chief Hogan to oppose Senate Bill 50, which would allow conversion of single-family homes to fourplexes in fire-prone areas, arguing that increased residential density in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone would endanger evacuation safety during wildfires. The Council urges city officials to contact the Senate Appropriations Committee before the January 31 deadline to advocate for an exemption for all parcels within fire hazard zones.
