L.A. wants time to study Newhall Ranch
Looking to slow the approval process for the massive Newhall Ranch Landmark Village project, Los Angeles city officials on Friday approved a call to require more study of the project's impact on the city. Daily News.
At the urging of Councilman Richard Alarcon, whose district is the closest to the planned project, the City Council asked for reports on the effects of traffic and other environmental concerns at the project, which would include more than 20,000 homes on the banks of the Santa Clara River abutting the Ventura County line.
The project is entirely within unincorporated county land near Santa Clarita.
The City Council is scheduled to get a report in mid-March outlining its options in seeking further information.
