The Wildlife District ordinance proposed in Los Angeles is loved by environmentalists, but loathed by some homeowners.
designed to minimize the impact of hillside homes on the surrounding environment cleared a major hurdle on Tuesday, June 20, unanimously backed by a key Los Angeles City Council committee.
who fear the regulations will decrease their property values or prevent them from enlarging their homes. The ordinance would apply to new developments, major remodels of existing homes and property additions of 500 square feet or more. It would not require homeowners to alter their existing properties or apply the new rules to minor renovations.
The most controversial aspect is a requirement that proposed new buildings and additions, including basements, cannot total more than 50% of a lot’s square footage. The goal is to preserve natural habitat and ensure there are enough wildlife corridors for mammals such as bobcats and mountain lions to pass through.
