Recommendations for Council action:
REQUEST the City Attorney to work with the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS), and other City departments as needed, to draft an ordinance to amend the Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 64.70 to align the City’s stormwater and urban runoff pollution control requirements, Low Impact Development (LID) Ordinance, to those prescribed under its MS4 Permit, including the type and size of new development or redevelopment projects that are subject to LID review.
DIRECT BOS to perform a fee study to evaluate the appropriate development services fees for LID plan check review, to achieve full cost recovery and the necessary staffing levels to optimize the delivery of development services.
DIRECT BOS in coordination with the Bureau of Engineering, to evaluate the benefits and feasibility of consolidating the LID plan check review services into the Bureau of Engineering’s Development Services and Permits Program.
DIRECT BOS to continue to implement further LID plan check improvements as needed to improve customer service delivery and wait time, including the development of standard plans for Accessory Dwelling Units.
NOTE and FILE the July 1, 2022 BOS report attached to the Council file.
