CONSIDERATION OF MOTION (DE LEON – PRICE – RODRIGUEZ – BLUMENFIELD) relative to establishing a streamlined post entitlement permitting process for expediting supportive and affordable housing projects.

Recommendation for Council action:

INSTRUCT the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, in coordination with the Department of City Planning, Los Angeles Housing and Community Investment Department, Department of Public Works, Los Angeles Department of Transportation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department; and,

REQUEST the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, to:
Develop an expedited permitting process that establishes a maximum review per submittal time of 15 business days for projects that build the most amount of permanent supportive housing and affordable housing; and, such streamlined process should look at establishing a tiered structure of expediting projects based upon a value and volume system that prioritizes the construction of the largest amount of permanent supportive housing and affordable housing.
