"Developers of the vast Tejon Ranch north of Los Angeles have agreed to sell more than one-third of their 270,000 acres to a land trust... The developers are entering into the agreement as they lay the groundwork for building a small city along the flanks of the Tehachapis... those developments would be far larger than the newly approved 20,885-home Newhall Ranch project near Santa Clarita, the biggest residential complex yet approved in Los Angeles County... the Tejon projects would effectively link urban Southern California with the rural Central Valley."
