In milestone, L.A. approves first permits for rebuilding homes after Palisades fire
LA TimesThe city of Los Angeles has cleared the way for three Pacific Palisades homeowners to begin rebuilding on their properties. “My contractor said, you guys should just go while the gettin’s good because we don’t know what’s going to happen six months from now with everyone getting their plans approved,” Lionelli said. An additional 98 property owners submitted blueprints to the L.A. County Department of Public Works for rebuilding in unincorporated areas — 76 in the Eaton fire zone and 22 in the Palisades fire area. “And climate-fueled disasters aren’t going away, either.” Kurt Krueger, the architect handling Lionelli’s rebuilding project, said he’s advising his clients not to wait before submitting applications to local authorities so they can get approved more quickly. Bass said at Friday’s news conference that there are more than 1,000 property owners who have not opted in or out of the federal government’s free debris removal service.
