A week ago, we let you know that this important planning
document containing historic protections against overdevelopment for the coastal
areas of the Santa Monica
Mountains would be up for
a vote by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday. We asked for
your support, and thanks to a massive turnout by residents who value these
beautiful mountains, the Local Coastal Plan has been adopted.
Special thanks are owed to our outgoing County Supervisor
Zev Yaroslavsky for his tireless dedication to keeping the Santa Monica
Mountains National Recreation Area a wild and beautiful place. He would
not let the well-funded special interests despoil our fragile mountains with inappropriate
and commercial development, massive grading of hillsides and ridgelines, and
an unjustifiable and unsustainable demand in this historic drought on scarce
water that would have been accessed only by drilling deeply into the ground to empty
the aquifers. The vote on Tuesday was a triumph, and a great day for the Santa Monica Mountains that are so iconic to our
community. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen!
