Picus and Basin Development

Share via

I thought the article in the Valley section Feb. 5 regarding development in the Sepulveda Basin grossly misrepresented the role of Councilwoman Joy Picus.

There is only so much a council member can do to limit development if a proposed project meets with zoning and land-use requirements. As a matter of fact, to arbitrarily try to prevent a legal development will only allow the developer to go to court, and then who knows how large a project they could then build?

Joy Picus is one of a handful of council members we can depend on to hold the line on runaway development, and fight to protect our open space. To imply anything else is simply misleading and untrue.
