LOS ANGELES— City Planning will present at the upcoming meeting of the City Planning Commission (CPC) their
formal recommendation on a
draft ordinance that would prohibit new oil and gas extraction citywide, in addition to phasing out existing extraction operations.
Consistent with the City’s policies on climate change, the Department has advanced a new ordinance at the direction of the Mayor and City Council that will improve the City’s livability, while addressing past injustices to frontline communities and communities of color who have been disproportionately affected by the health impacts associated with living next to drill sites.
The City Planning Commission meeting will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 22, 2022. The
agenda has been posted online as well as the Department’s
fact sheet. To listen to the meeting by phone, dial (213) 621-2489 or (818) 904-9450. The meeting can also be accessed online
via Zoom: Meeting ID: 883 0332 8150 | Passcode 057329.
