Simi Valley Threatens Suit Over Porter Ranch Project
Simi Valley officials, reacting angrily to the Los Angeles City Council’s approval of a massive housing and commercial development in neighboring Chatsworth, said Wednesday that they probably will sue to block the project.
“I don’t think the fight is over yet,” Vice Mayor Glen McAdoo said of the $2-billion Porter Ranch development, one of the largest new housing projects in Los Angeles history.
McAdoo said the project, approved unanimously Tuesday by the City Council, would create tremendous amounts of traffic and pollution for Simi Valley and other neighboring communities.
McAdoo said Simi Valley officials sent a letter to Los Angeles officials a month ago, outlining their objections to the project and what they said were deficiencies in the environmental impact report.
