City council supports one-year fast-food ban
July 22, 2008
Los Angeles Times:A proposal that would place at least a one-year moratorium on new fast-food restaurants in the South Los Angeles area won unanimous support from a Los Angeles City Council committee July 22, 2008.
If approved by the full council and signed by the mayor, the law would prevent fast-food chains from opening new restaurants in a 32-square-mile area, including West Adams, Baldwin Village and Leimert Park. The moratorium would be in effect for one year, with the possibility of two six-month extensions.
