Zone Changes in Tejunga City

Los Angeles City Council members are upset over a law proposed by Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes.

The proposed law would limit L.A's ability to make zone changes and council members saqy the bill is designed to aid a specific developer.

The bill is sponsored by MWH Development a woodland hills based company that has tried to build more than 200 houses on the Verdugo Hills Golf Course in Tejunga.

However, Fuetes' Chief of Staff says the bill is to make sure developers are treated fairly.

Developer Mark Handel says the more homes they can build the higher the value of the land.

People living in Tejunga, La Crescenta, and Glendale are opposed to the bill.

Last month the L.A city council voted to oppose state intervention in local land use decisions.

There will be a hearing on this issue next Tuesday.
