Dear Interested Parties,

Thank you for your continued interest in the Wildlife Ordinance. On June 20, 2023, the proposed Wildlife Ordinance was considered by the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee. The PLUM Committee unanimously voted to approve the proposed Wildlife Ordinance with some additional modifications. The Wildlife Ordinance is currently being reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office. Following the conclusion of this review, the Wildlife Ordinance is anticipated to be scheduled for consideration by the full City Council in the coming months. Additionally, the PLUM Committee instructed City Planning to report back with the final ordinance on topics including identifying the staff resources required to implement the proposed ordinance. More information about the actions taken at the PLUM Committee meeting can be found in Council File 14-0518.

To provide additional clarity, City Planning has prepared a new fact sheet to provide even further details about the proposed ordinance. In addition to this fact sheet, Council District Offices 4 and 5 released a fact sheet detailing what the ordinance does and does not propose to regulate and where the ordinance stands in the adoption process.

The proposed Wildlife Ordinance and other materials are available in Council File 14-0518. Additional background information is available at planning4la.org/wildlife.
