What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The appeal regarding the Avalon apartments in Calabasas was denied, allowing the developer to build 135 additional units and preventing a lawsuit against the City of Calabasas. The appeal was based on non-compliance with state bill AB 747, which addresses wildfire evacuations and increased fire threat. Residents in Calabasas and Thousand Oaks are concerned about the increased fire threat and the burden of high insurance premiums linked to high fire severity designations.
