We Are Here to Support You – Now and After The Fires
All fire victims; I have been spending the last few days corresponding with you individually, taking calls, and will of course continue to do so. We are not out of this yet and there’s much to be done before thinking about next steps. If you need anything at all, please reach out to us! Our goal is to help in this time of need!
I am posting this as a general notice to our community, and would ask you to pass it on to others who lost their home or had their property damaged by this fire and who aren’t already connected to our team. Our land use planning firm is going to do everything possible to assist our friends and neighbors through this cataclysm.
We will sit down with you and go over your property issues, and map out what your rights are to obtain exemptions from planning permits for a “disaster replacement”. We will tell you what pitfalls you need to avoid, and give you contact information for the qualified professionals you will need to generate plans and reports, and the contact information for the right people in the government agencies. When you call my office (818) 338-3636, please tell my staff that you are a fire victim, and give them the address of your property so that we know the jurisdiction (e.g. City of Malibu, County of Los Angeles, City of Los Angeles, etc.) and the specifics for your property. They will set up an appointment for your gratis consultation with me or one of our managers, and you will be provided with the aerials and resource delineations for your property, and the aforementioned contact information.
This one is on me folks, I want to do what I can to help my friends and neighbors.
