Response to City Planning 2021 Comprehensive Fees

Source:  Subscriber to SATT Weekly Posts

I tend to be more than a little critical of the Department leadership and of elected officials who do not act in ways that are rational.  With regard to the cost of seeking relief from fence height limitations I understand that they are trying to gain full cost recovery on all cases, however the City needs to consider how elitist and possibly racist these policies are.  Wealthy (primarily white people) can afford the added security of an approved over in height fence but in poor neighborhoods that tend to have higher crime rates, people can not afford to pay for relief so they build the fence without approval then deal with enforcement that they can not afford to properly address.  It could be called the Celebrity Fence Height adjustment ordinance. Leftist ideology and politicians trying to appease special interest groups within their own districts and each other has depleted the General Fund to pay for things that in most Cities are not paid for by the City.

Looking over the list of Departments I see that LA has a Department of Ageing.  In most Cities these matters are handled within Recreation and Parks and Housing.  Each new Department results in redundancies primarily in administration.  Isn’t it time to sell LA’s interest in the Palmdale Airport?  Does cannabis regulation require an entire Department with a full time staff dedicated to a legal albeit regulated use?  Shouldn’t cannabis regulation be a small section within Planning and B&S.

Most Cities contract out Animal Services to the County but OK I get it, LA City is too big.  Is it time to get rid of the Coliseum and any City involvement in it’s day to day operation?  Most Cities don’t have a Cultural Affairs Department this work is generally handled by museums and theaters and the City provides grants.  HCID and Housing Authority – Should this be one Department or should housing enforcement be under B&S? Don’t even get me started on DONE and the Neighborhood Councils.

Department of City Planning Referral Forms

You may have found by surprise; a referral form must be obtained before you can file an application.  Historically, there was once a process entitled Community Planner Comments.  This allowed community planning planners to identify and comment on what the staff should consider in preparing reports to commissions or Letters of Determination by Zoning Administrators.

 This process was behind the curtain and not required by an applicant. It was terminated by Robert Sutton, who you may remember as the Principal of the Zoning/Consistency Program, then later promoted to Deputy Director.

The prior process has been replaced by Referral Form. These forms are prepared by the Applicant and reviewed and signed by the Department of City Planning staff before applying for a case or building permit. Any modifications to the form’s content(s) after its authorization by the Department of City Planning staff are prohibited. The Department of City Planning reserves the right to require an updated form for the project if more than 180 days have transpired since the approval date or as necessary to reflect project modifications, policy changes, and/or amendments to the LAMC, local laws, and State laws.

AB 2556 Determination Letter  (AFFORDABLE UNIT DETERMINATION CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §§65915, 65915.5, AB 2222, as amended by AB 2556)

In order to receive a building permit for a density bonus project that involves the demolition or conversion of rental units and/or construction on vacant land where rental units were demolished/converted within five years, an owner must first comply with the housing replacement provisions of California Government Code §§65915, 65915.5 as amended by AB 2222 and 2556, which were signed into law by Governor Brown on September 27, 2014, and August 19, 2016, respectively. California Government Code §§65915, 65915.5 requires owners of density bonus projects resulting in a loss of existing and in some cases, prior existing housing units, to replace these units on a one-for-one-basis, extends the affordability period of all density bonus projects from 30 years to 55 years from the date of Certificate of Occupancy, and expands the use of equity sharing in for-sale units to low, very low and moderate-income households.

The first step in meeting the new obligations is to complete an application for an Affordable Unit Determination with the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD). Once completed, a Land Use Analyst will conduct a determination as to potential affordable units. Information about the existing property for the five years prior to the date of the owner’s permit request is required in order to make a determination. Affordability is primarily measured by: the income level of the tenants. The existing property’s affordability status must be fully supported by reliable documentary evidence such as employer pay stubs. In the absence of income documentation: (1) For density bonus projects, the Land Use staff will make a determination that rental units were last occupied by 49% very low-income and 18% low-income households pursuant to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) database. (2) For transit-oriented communities (TOC) projects, the determination breakdown will be 30% extremely low income, 19% very low income, and 18% low income. All replacement calculations resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number. The bedroom size of the existing units and the proportionality of the bedroom sizes of the new units will be considered to determine the bedroom types of the replacement units.

This information, along with information provided by any existing tenants, will be used to determine whether affordable units currently exist and need to be replaced. Tenant information can take four to six weeks to receive and process. For Discretionary projects, an Affordable Unit Determination will be given to the Planning Department concerning the conditions which must be met prior to granting a building permit on the project. For By-right projects, a determination letter will be given to the owner prior to completing the land use covenant.

(3) a new SB 9 Two Unit Development pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.21 that does not involve the alteration or removal of any number of units; or
(4) a new SB 9 Urban Lot Split, pursuant to Government Code Section 66411.7, that does not involve the alteration or removal of any units and is not on a site that has removed any units within the past five years.

If the Housing Development Project results in fewer legal units than existed in the past five years, then the project must provide additional units so as not to result in a net loss (e.g., a duplex must be replaced by at least two units), and an SB 8 Replacement Unit Determination (RUD) letter must be obtained from the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD).

Where residential dwelling units were withdrawn from rent or lease in accordance with Government Code Chapter 12.75 (commencing with Section 7060) of Division 7 of Title 1 (the “Ellis Act”) within the past 10 years, a Housing Development Project must obtain an SB 8 RUD letter from LAHD. The project must also be in compliance with Government Code Sections 66300(d)(2)(C) and 66300(d)(2) (D)(i), which require the developer to allow existing occupants to occupy their units until six months before the start of construction activities and to provide relocation benefits to lower income occupants of those affordable residential rental units.

In lieu of signing this declaration, an SB 8 RUD letter may be obtained from LAHD.

Note No. 1 Housing Development Projects within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ), as determined by the State Fire Marshal, are not subject to HCA housing replacement review. For additional housing replacement information on specific sites, go to the -Housing’ tab on www.zimas.lacity.org

SB 9 Urban Lot Split (DCP, Website)

Provides a streamlined process for subdividing an existing single-family zoned lot into two new parcels, also known as an Urban Lot Split and Two Unit Developments for creating Two Unit Developments on single-family zoned lots

Both of the above-streamlined processes are subject to specific eligibility criteria. The best way to assess whether a parcel is eligible for SB 9 is by using the City Planning’s Zone Information and Map Access System (ZIMAS) tool.  Click the “Planning and Zoning” menu in ZIMAS on the left side of the screen, and scroll down to the “SB 9 Eligibility” line. Click the adjacent link to display the Eligibility Criteria Checklist, indicating whether the site is eligible for SB 9.

NOTE: Two Unit Developments are processed by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) through a building permit application, while Urban Lot Split applications are processed by City Planning.

For planning-related inquiries, you may email planning.SB9@lacity.org.

Key Information

    • Remember the following things if you plan to use SB 9 in Los Angeles. Email planning-related questions to planning.SB9@lacity.org.
    • City Planning processes all SB 9 Urban Lot Split filings. Please scroll down for links to application forms and application instructions.
      LADBS processes all Two Unit Developments. Contact LADBS about filing a building permit application and for answers to questions about approving a Two Unit Development. (Scroll down for contact information.)
      SB 9 projects cannot demolish “protected units,” such as units of covenanted affordable housing, units subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), or any unit occupied by a tenant in the last three years. Any property developed with a single-family residence built prior to October 1, 1978 and an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or two or more dwelling units, is considered subject to the RSO. Contact the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) with questions about whether a property is subject to the RSO.
    • If an existing unit has been occupied by a tenant within the last three years, SB 9 projects cannot demolish more than 25% of the exterior walls of the unit.
      Lot splits are subject to a minimum three-year owner occupancy requirement by an affidavit, meaning one of the units shall be the primary residence for the owner for at least three years after approval for the lot split.
      A parcel can only be divided once through the SB 9 Urban Lot Split process.
    • The same person (or someone acting on their behalf) cannot split a lot on adjacent lots (i.e., a person who owns two adjacent parcels cannot perform lot splits on both).
      Short-term and vacation rentals are prohibited, as units may only be rented for 30 days or longer. However, City-registered Home-Sharing as an accessory use to a primary residence is permitted.
      If a property contains protected trees, consult with Public Works’ Urban Forestry Division early. Scroll down for contact information.
      An applicant can request an Urban Lot Split in combination with a Two Unit Development on each newly created lot.
      For SB 9 Urban Lot Splits, ADUs count towards the two unit maximum per lot.
    • For SB 9 Two Unit Developments not concurrently using an SB 9 Urban Lot Split, ADUs do not count towards a two unit maximum. A property that chooses a Two Unit Development without an Urban Lot Split may develop as many ADUs as permitted by the 2020 ADU Memo. Scroll down for a link to the memo

Hillside Referral Form   Read BOE Instructions

A Hillside Referral Form is used to determine if a property is subject to the Hillside Ordinance, LAMC 12.21.A.17 – One-Family Dwellings, Accessory Buildings and Additions – Hillside Regulations. In general, the only time this process takes place is when a Customer has also applied for a Building Permit with LADBS. If an Applicant is subdividing the property only (only a Map) and there is also a building permit in connection with the Map, the Applicant may still be responsible for constructing necessary improvements and therefore subject to the Hillside Referral form process. However, if an Applicant is only subdividing the property (only a Map), they are not subject to the Hillside Referral Form process.

This form must be obtained from the Bureau of Engineering if the project site is located in a “Hillside Area”, as identified under the “Planning and Zoning” tab in ZIMAS.

Hillside Slope Analysis and Maximum Residential Floor Area Verification Form  Verification Form

Low Impact Development (LID) Referral Form  LA Sanitation Website 

This form must be obtained from the Bureau of Sanitation for all projects which add, create, or replace 500 square feet of impervious area. Please be advised that the project design may require alterations in order to incorporate stormwater mitigation measures and satisfy LID requirements per the City’s LID Ordinance.

Mello Form  MELLO ACT DETERMINATION OF AFFORDABLE UNITS DEMOLITION AND/OR CONVERSION

In order to receive approval for a demolition or conversion permit, the project owner must comply with California Government Code Sections 65590 and 65590.1, commonly known as the 1982 Mello Act. The Mello Act is a statewide law that seeks to preserve housing for persons and families with low and moderate incomes in California’s Coastal Zone.

The City of Los Angeles examines all Coastal Zone development involving residential units that are not categorically exempt. The current condition of the housing has no bearing on an affordability determination unless the property is legally declared a public nuisance. A public nuisance is one type of exemption; the second is a small new housing development (9 or fewer Residential Units, and only provides an exemption for inclusionary units, not replacement units); the third is an owner-occupied, single-family dwelling being demolished/converted into a single-family dwelling for occupancy by the same owner. Exemptions can only be granted by the Department of City Planning (DCP). All other projects must be evaluated by the Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD).

The first step in meeting Mello Act obligations is to consult with the DCP to verify if the project is exempt. If the DCP determines that a Mello Act Determination of Affordable Units (Mello Determination) is needed, the owner will be given a Mello Act Advisory Notice and Screening Checklist for Coastal Zone Projects form with a DCP Case Number assigned. Applicants referred to LAHD are presumed to have been vetted by the DCP and are not exempt. The Applicant must complete LAHD’s Application for a Mello Determination (Mello Application). LAHD will then conduct its review of potential affordable units. Affordability is measured by both: (1) rental history for the previous three years, and (2) the income level of any current residents. The property’s affordability status must be documented by one of LAHD’s Mello Act Analysts. Unless the unit has been unoccupied for more than 365 consecutive days prior to the Applicant’s filing with the DCP, the Mello Act Analyst will require information about the property for the three (3) years prior to the date of the application with DCP for discretionary cases, or the date of the Building Permit Application for non-discretionary cases. A unit shall not be considered affordable if it has been unoccupied for more than 365 consecutive days prior to the application’s filing. The owner has the burden of proving a long-term vacancy.
