PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT relative to amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to update notification requirements for demolition permits.

Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Blumenfield – Buscaino):

INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), with the assistance of the City Attorney, to prepare and present an Ordinance to amend LAMC Section 91.106.4.5.1 (Notification of Demolition) and any other pertaining section in the LAMC, to require protection devices such as fences and/or pedestrian protection canopies to be installed and approved by the LADBS a shorter amount of days before demolition begins, rather than 30 days before demolition begins as currently prescribed in the LAMC, and that requires 11 inch by 17 inch posted placards giving notice of demolition to contain letters two and half inches high rather than three inches as currently prescribed in the LAMC, allowing LADBS to send written notice of the Demolition Pre-Inspection Application to abutting property owners and/or occupants rather than sending written notice to abutting property owners and occupants.

INSTRUCT the LADBS, in coordination with the City Attorney and Los Angeles Police Department, to report back concurrently at the time the final Ordinance is submitted to the Council, on costs and benefits as well as recommendations of the feasibility to require protection devices such as fences and/or pedestrian protection canopies to be installed and approved by the LADBS less than 30 days and more than seven days before demolition begins.
