On November 8, 2016, voters in the City of Los Angeles approved and passed Measure
JJJ, the Build Better LA initiative. Among other provisions, this ballot initiative will
impose minimum affordable housing requirements and labor regulations on certain
development projects requiring certain General Plan Amendments, Zone Changes, and
Height District Changes. As a result of the Council’s action on December 13, 2016 to
certify the election results, the provisions of the initiative are now in effect.
The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify which development projects are subject
to the affordable housing and labor requirements specified in Sections 3 and 5 of
Measure JJJ. A subsequent memorandum will provide details on the implementation of
the measure’s other provisions.
