Daily Bulletin:
“We can’t require them to continue to irrigate everything, but there are certain things that we can do under our current code,” Eric Scherer, La Verne’s community development director, said. “There is enough language in our code that we feel we can make sure it can be relatively kept up and kept clean.”

The site cannot be sold to a residential developer because the land is currently designated “open space” under the city’s general plan, its blueprint for development, Scherer said. The designation prohibits any development on the property.
