Protect OUR Emergency Evacuation Routes
The Agoura Hills City Council of 2022 voted (4 to 1) to approve an updated housing plan. Unfortunately, this plan allows up to a max of 564 housing units at our 3 local Kanan shopping centers significantly impacting our already congested Kanan and Thousand Oaks Blvd area.
“By Right” approvals-like the 278 apartments at the Regency theater property-can happen without any public process. So don’t be fooled by there is no project yet.
The City Council can decide to amend this housing element plan and zoning code in the future. Instead of more density added to our already congested evacuation routes of Kanan Road (north and south) and Driver Ave, there are feasible alternatives. These feasible alternatives that our neighboring cities are using include: underutilized parking lots and buildings and/or higher density on uncongested roads. It is a fact that the 2022 Agoura Hills City Council chose the controversial housing sites on already congested evacuation routes-Driver and Kanan-not the state!
WHEN THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY!

The 2022 Agoura Hills City council also voted to allow a massive upzoning: a max of 44 housing units on the Drive and Colodny oak grove corner. This ecologically unique corner with its magnificent Valley oak grove has many building constraints.
