L. A. Votes to Add 78.2 Acres to City Limits
Los Angeles got just a bit bigger Friday.
The City Council voted unanimously to add 78.2 acres of previously unincorporated county land off Roscoe Boulevard near Valley Circle Boulevard in West Hills.
The parcel is a slice of 359 acres that SunCal Corps. Ltd. is planning to develop with single-family homes. All but the 78.2 acres lie within city boundaries.
“We’re delighted at the council’s action,” said Bill Rattazzi, one of SunCal’s principals. “The big issue for us was having one government entity controlling the planning process. Now we’ll have just that.”
Under the development plans, about 270 acres of the overall site will be dedicated as permanent open space.
