Land UsePlanning & Density
The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes SB 79, legislation that would streamline housing density approvals, arguing it erodes local control and compromises public safety in fire-prone areas without adequate infrastructure funding or exemptions for Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. The council urges the Los Angeles City Council to support CF 25-0002-S19 to add opposition to SB 79 to the city's 2025-26 state legislative program.

Land UsePlanning & Density
The Pacific Palisades Community Council opposes pending and future legislation that mandates housing density without providing funding mechanisms to support impacts on infrastructure, public safety, and municipal services, citing concerns specific to their Very High Fire Hazard Security Zone community devastated by the January 2025 Palisades Fire.
