False posts claim California governor rezoning Pacific Palisades

According to Nicholas Marantz, associate professor of Urban Planning and Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine (archived here): "It would be absolutely unprecedented for the governor to preempt zoning in the way it was described in that post." The California Emergency Services Act authorizes the governor to "make, amend, and rescind orders and regulations" (archived here), but Marantz said he does not see a "plausible argument that the kind of rezoning described in the post is necessary to carry out the provisions of the Emergency Services Act."
