Las Lomas policy decision heads for possible City Council vote Wednesday

The proposed Las Lomas development policy decision is scheduled to come before the L.A. City Council at 10 .m. Wednesday in Los Angeles City Hall, 200 N. Spring St., Los Angeles.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and make their voices heard.

The controversial development by Las Lomas Land Co. would include construction of more than 5,500 houses where the 5 and 14 freeways meet and continue north along the 5 Freeway to the Calgrove exit.

The property is currenty zoned for 200 to 250 buildings.

The development would also include leveling a mountain and construction of 2.3 million square feet of commercial space.

Several neighborhood councils, Congressmen Brad Sherman and Buck McKeon, Assemblyman Cameron Smythe, Councilman Greig Smith, the city of Santa Clarita and the Sierra Club oppose the project.
