The City of Los Angeles, Department of City Planning will hold a Public Hearing regarding the adoption of a new Supplemental Use District (SUD) and the application of this SUD to the Bel Air neighborhood. The proposed new Environmentally Sensitive Hillside Area (ESHA) District applied to the Bel Air neighborhood is being considered to address community concerns regarding construction impacts of large-scale single- family home developments in the hillsides. The proposed Environmentally Sensitive Hillside Area (ESHA) District will establish development standards regulating grading limits and hauling operation standards to areas that adopt the overlay. The ESHA District regulations will require single-family home development projects 20,000 square feet or larger within the district to go through a review process and will mandate standard hauling operations for all single family home developments as conditions of project approval. Information on both the proposed new Environmentally Sensitive Hillside Area District and the Zone Change Ordinance to apply the ESHA District to the Bel Air neighborhood, will be available for review at the Public Hearing and online at www.planning.lacity.org under “What’s New.”
