Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Housing development proposals in Woodland Hills have faced significant opposition from local officials and residents due to safety and density concerns. In one instance, the Los Angeles City Council voted 11-1 to block a project at the Woodland Hills Country Club. The council sought to amend zoning codes to prevent vacant lots, such as golf courses, from receiving certain redevelopment authorizations. Concerns cited included the site being in a “very high” fire hazard severity zone and serving as “wildlife habitat” for endangered mountain lions. The developer, Arrimus Capital, criticized the move as an “affront to Angelenos” and suggested potential legal action regarding state housing law violations. Separately, a proposal for a 71-unit senior living facility on Del Moreno Drive led to a chaotic public hearing. Local residents opposed the high-density project, citing inadequate parking and fire zone risks. The dispute underscored broader tensions regarding California laws that allow affordable housing projects to bypass certain local restrictions on density and height. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: Woodland Hills residents clash over senior housing proposal A Los Angeles planning meeting in Woodland Hills turned chaotic as residents protested Akhilesh Jah’s proposal to replace a single-family home with a 71-unit senior living facility. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/woodland-hills-residents-clash-over-senior-housing-proposal ### 2026-08-21: Woodland Hills Country Club housing project blocked by Los Angeles City Council The Los Angeles City Council voted to block a 398-home development at Woodland Hills Country Club, citing fire hazards and endangered mountain lion habitats. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/woodland-hills-country-club-housing-project-blocked-by-los-angeles-city-council --- Cite as: Woodland Hills housing development disputes.
