Altadena rebuild resource
Like-for-like or a changed rebuild?
A starting guide to two common Altadena rebuild paths.
LA County distinguishes replacement of a legally established damaged structure from projects with changes reviewed under current development standards. Limited modifications may be available in the Eaton Fire area, but the property, prior structure, and proposed scope still need confirmation.
Confirm the current rule before relying on it.

Questions to bring to your team
- What was legally established before the fire?
- Would the desired program change area, height, footprint, location, use, or setbacks?
- Which site, tree, historic, utility, fire-hazard, or topographic conditions need verification?
- Which assumptions should receive written County confirmation?
