Los Angeles City Planning is pleased to announce that the proposed Affordable Housing Streamlining Ordinance will be considered by the City Planning Commission (CPC) on Thursday, November 16, 2023. The meeting commences at 8:30 a.m. and will occur in-person at Van Nuys City Hall located at 14410 Sylvan Street, #215, Van Nuys, CA 91401. There is also an option to virtually join the meeting and provide public comment over Zoom. Additional information on how to participate in the meeting is provided in the agenda, available
here. Following the City Planning Commission’s recommendation on the proposed ordinance, it will proceed to the City Council for consideration and possible adoption.
Los Angeles City Planning has prepared this proposed ordinance in response to a City Council Motion (
Council File No. 23-0623), amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to create an administrative review process for 100% affordable housing projects, subject to eligibility requirements and performance standards. This proposed ordinance incorporates the streamlining provisions of
Executive Directive 1 (ED 1) into the LAMC in an effort to increase affordable housing throughout the City by shortening the time, risk and cost it takes to approve qualifying affordable housing projects.
The
Staff Recommendation Report to the CPC is now available for the public and discusses the changes made to the proposed Ordinance in response to public comment and feedback. To view more information regarding the proposed Affordable Housing Streamlining Ordinance, including the

Following consideration by the City Planning Commission, the ordinance would move to the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee of the City Council before eventually heading to the full City Council for consideration and adoption.
