Panel Advises Allowing Horseless Development
A City Council panel recommended Tuesday that the city deny an appeal by a group of Chatsworth residents who are trying to block Airport Commission President Ted Stein from building 21 homes on a small parcel in their equestrian-oriented neighborhood.
The full City Council is scheduled today to review the recommendation of its Planning and Land Use Management Committee to approve a subdivision on the northeast corner of Chatsworth Street and Topanga Canyon Boulevard.
Many neighbors who oppose the project say the quarter-acre lots, with no horse-keeping allowed, will create pressure to subdivide other residential properties in the area and threaten its equestrian lifestyle.
