Months after the Palisades and Eaton Fires destroyed more than 16,000 structures, most of which were houses, homeowners are slowly starting to rebuild. As plans start to materialize, elected officials are calling for stricter limits on how many new homes can be added to neighborhoods that burned.

Citing concerns about future fire safety, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass asked California officials on Tuesday to block a recent state law from letting duplexes and other additional housing units replace burned-down single-family homes in the Pacific Palisades.

A spokesperson for Gov. Gavin Newsom said he plans to issue an executive order Wednesday allowing local governments to limit the law’s application in high severity burn areas, which would include the Palisades, parts of Malibu and Altadena.
