CF 19-1233 AT CITY COUNCIL 11/27/2019 Vote Given: Adopted (12); Absent: Buscaino, Huizar, Rodriguez (3)
City Planning has new procedures for compliance with SB 330 Currently two forms are used in the process: Form CP-4063 Preliminary Application Filing Instructions and Form CP-4062 Preliminary Application Referral Form. Further, CP-7810 DCP Application Filing Instructions (12/17/2019) includes the following: (Note: Form CP-4060 below is in the process of development).
Housing Crisis Act of 2019 (SB330) Preliminary Application. If an SB330 Preliminary Application was submitted and deemed complete for a Housing Development Project that is residential only (not including hotels) and creates two or more dwelling units, involves the construction of a new mixed-use development with at least two-thirds of the square footage of the project designated for residential use, or is Supportive or Transitional Housing, then an original SB330 Preliminary Application (CP-4060) signed by staff from the Preliminary Application and Review Program (PARP) unit must be included with the full application to Los Angeles City Planning. The SB330 Preliminary Application is valid when PARP staff have deemed it complete prior to filing the City Planning application for the project.
Further, SB330 Determination letter from the Housing and Community Investment Department. The Housing and Community Investment Department (HCIDLA) must evaluate properties on which dwelling units have been demolished or are proposed to be demolished in conjunction with the proposed Housing Development Project to determine any required tenant information, replacement units, and rental rates.
AGENDA – PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to instructing the Department of City Planning (DCP) to report on the impact of Senate Bill (SB) 330 (Skinner) on the City.
Recommendation for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Koretz – Cedillo):
INSTRUCT the DCP, in consultation with the City Attorney, to prepare a report to explain how SB 330, Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which was recently signed into law by Governor Newsom, and takes effect on January 1, 2020, will affect the City, inasmuch as it will place a moratorium on down-zoning parcels, reducing the number of units that can be built on a parcel until January 1, 2025, prohibiting cities and counties, including charter cities, from imposing or enforcing new design standards established on or after January 1, 2020, freezing nearly all project related fees once a project applicant submits a preliminary application, and prohibiting limitations on the number of permits issued by a county or city.
Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report.
Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
Read: SB 330 [ Approved by Governor October 09, 2019. Filed with Secretary of State October 09, 2019. ] Effective January 1, 2020
This bill, until January 1, 2025, would reduce the time period in which a lead agency under these provisions is required to approve or disapprove a project from 120 days to 90 days, for a development project from 90 days to 60 days, for a development project that meets the described affordability conditions. The bill would recast the definition of “development project” for these purposes to mean a housing development project, as defined in the Housing Accountability Act.
