Those named to the South Valley Area Planning Commission include Matt Epstein, a Realtor; Janel L. Huff, economic development specialist, and Tsilah Burman, senior director for CB Richard Ellis Investors / Westmark Realty.
Riordan also appointed businessman Dwayne Norman Hall to the West Los Angeles panel, retired architect James Silcott to the South Los Angeles commission, chamber executive Joeann Valle and credit union executive Lucia Moreno-Linares to the Harbor panel, and consultant Yolanda Chavez to the East Area commission.
The new commissions are set to take over local planning decisions July 1.
