WATCH: Agoura Hills Residents Push Back Against New Housing Complex Over Evacuation Access
~ PEER ~
Protect our Emergency Evacuation Routes
Local officials are allowing major increases in housing density along Kanan Road and Driver Avenue — which serve as critical emergency evacuation routes. These routes are already overburdened, and further development will create life-threatening risks for residents and neighboring communities during wildfires or other disasters.
Check out https://www.supportforpeer.com/artist-s-renderings/ to see the City's plans for these locations. The city of Agoura Hills needs to immediately consider alternative solutions — ones that neighboring cities have already successfully implemented.
We are especially concerned about plans that would eliminate 10 of the 12 Valley Oaks at the corner of Driver Avenue and Colodny Drive to make way for up to 44 units.
Additionally, proposals to add up to 564 housing units to our 3 local shopping centers on Kanan Road will impact the safe evacuation of thousands of residents.
We believe our city can meet its housing goals without compromising public safety. Join us in asking for smarter, safer planning.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
If you oppose the upzoning of the Kanan shopping centers or the upzoning of the oak studded hillside on Driver & Colodny, please donate!
Having received approval from SEE (Social Environmental Entrepreneurs) for 501c3 fiscal sponsorship of our project, we are now able to collect tax deductible donations here through our website.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE!
Old Agoura, Agoura Hills & Oak Park community members, we need you! Our evacuation routes don’t stop & start at our city’s boundary lines. If you utilize either the Kanan Road or Driver Avenue evacuation routes, please join the group.

Supporting PRISMM and Safety South of the 101
We encourage everyone—especially those following the Agoura Village West (AVW) project, which would impact the Kanan and Agoura Road intersection—to learn more about PRISMM (Protectors and Residents in the Santa Monica Mountains) and support their important work. More housing developments in that congested area affect our entire community, and concern about safe evacuation routes is something we all share.
