New suit filed over density law

A second lawsuit has been filed over a recently passed city ordinance that allows new buildings to be larger and more dense if they have some affordable housing.

Environment and Housing Coalition Los Angeles, a collection of civic groups and homeowner associations, argued that the City Council did not provide enough environmental analysis of the new planning law, which rewards developers for making as little as 5% of their residential projects affordable.

One San Fernando Valley activist filed a separate lawsuit last week.
