Land Movement Update: November 14 City Council Meeting

On November 14, 2023, the City Council will consider renewing the local emergency declaration and building moratorium that were put in place on October 3, 2023 to bolster the City’s response to accelerated movement in the landslide complex. 

The Council will consider extending the local emergency declaration to January 13, 2024, and extending the moratorium in the landslide complex to October 2, 2024. The moratorium was approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development on November 6 and is now enforceable.
