A city of Los Angeles Wildlife Ordinance that would set strict building restrictions on hillside houses is causing an uproar among homeowners who fear it will hurt their property value.
The ordinance is intended to preserve habitat for mountain lions, bobcats, birds and more by limiting the size of homes and requiring the use of animal friendly building practices. It would apply to a wide swath of hillside land from Griffith Park to the 405 Freeway, including the communities of Beverly Crest, Beverly Glen, Bel Air and Laurel Canyon.
