We celebrate the passage of the WSGVAP because it discourages new developments in our treasured foothills, including Altadena. It directs growth away from established hazard areas, preserve natural and biological resources, and prevent habitat disturbance and fragmentation.
On behalf of AltadenaWILD, Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy, and the Chaney Trail Corridor Project,
We Thank You!
Read the AltadenaWILD/Chaney Trail Corridor Project joint Statement of Support for the West San Gabriel Valley Area Plan.
“We endorse the Los Angeles County West San Gabriel Valley Area Plan (WSGVAP), which was developed by the Department of Regional Planning in consultation with the community members of Altadena and other affected unincorporated areas of the County. The WSGVAP and accompanying changes in zoning and land use policies will direct development away from the Altadena foothills and other high fire hazard zones, protect natural and biological resources, prevent habitat disturbance and fragmentation, and keep wildlife corridors intact. The WSGVAP recognizes environmental and societal changes over the past decades and proposes a rational and compelling vision for the future.”
