Cecilia Estolano, Special Assistant to the City Attorney, discusses the latest developments in L.A.'s efforts to restrict the proliferation of these gigantic retail/grocery outlets.
As Wal-Mart and other big-box retailers ramp up efforts to open supercenters in California, many cities throughout the state have taken steps to enact ordinances tailored to ban these retail/grocery monstrosities. At the prompting of the Council Housing & Economic Development Committee, the Los Angeles city attorneys office is currently drafting such an ordinance. TPR is pleased to present this interview with Cecilia Estolano, Special Assistant to the City Attorney and supervisor of the Real Estate and Economic Development Practice Group, to discuss how Los Angeles anti-suprecenter ordinance is taking shape.
