The Departments of Building and Safety and City Planning will continue to apply zoning incentives to those areas that had been previously designated as Enterprise Zones. The Department implements several zoning incentives that furthered State Enterprise Zone goals. Such LAMC regulations include reduced parking requirements – Section 12.21-A,4(x), increased building or structure height – Section 12.21.4, and exemptions from conditional use permits for major projects – Section 12.24-U,14(c)2. In adopting these regulations, the City provided additional incentives in designated areas beyond those provided by the State.

Regardless of the status of Enterprise Zones, City zoning regulations pertaining to those areas, which were approved by City Council resolution, are still valid. This is further supported by a City Council motion to “continue and increase city-level incentives” in Enterprise Zones (Council File 13-0934).
