The Arroyos &
Foothills: Significant Ecological Area Nomination
Los Angeles County is revising its Los Angeles County General
Plan, a comprehensive statement of public policy guiding long-term
development and resource protection. As Altadena is unincorporated,
this general plan, when adopted will establish goals, principles,
standards, and plan proposals to establish a framework for
future development and use of Altadena land. For information
about the Plan, see the County website http://planning.co.la.ca.us/gp_update/drp_gp_shaping.htm
As a part of the General Plan revisions, Los Angeles County
is also revising its list of Significant Ecological Areas
(SEAs). As one of its first activities, the Conservancy proposed
that the Altadena foothills be listed as an SEA. Included
here are links to the original Conservancy nomination document
along with the link to the County map in the draft General
Plan. http://planning.co.la.ca.us/gp_update/images/SEA_Altadena.pdf http://planning.co.la.ca.us/gp_update/drp_gp_maps.htm#sea_maps
