A judge ruled that the city of Los Angeles violated the law by rejecting an application to build 220 affordable housing units in Reseda.

A judge has ruled that the city of Los Angeles illegally blocked low-income housing last year in a neighborhood zoned for single-family homes when officials rejected a developer’s application to build 220 affordable housing units in Reseda. The developer, Evolve Realty and Development Corp., filed the project under Mayor Karen Bass’s Executive Directive 1, a program to streamline approvals for projects entirely composed of apartments reserved for low- to moderate-income renters.
