Dear Interested Stakeholder:

The Los Angeles City Council adopted the Redevelopment Plan Procedures Reinstatement Ordinance at its regular meeting on January 19, 2024. This Ordinance amends the Processes and Procedures Ordinance (Ordinance No. 187,712) to reinstate Section 11.5.14 (Redevelopment Plan Procedures) in Chapter 1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC). The Council’s adoption of the Ordinance will allow the City to continue processing applications within Redevelopment Project Areas.

Adopted in 2022, the Processes and Procedures Ordinance amended Chapter 1 of the LAMC and established Chapter 1A of the LAMC to reorganize the administrative processes and procedures related to zoning and land use entitlements. As part of this comprehensive update, Section 11.5.14 (Redevelopment Plan Procedures) was inadvertently omitted from Chapter 1 of the LAMC. This Ordinance is an administrative correction to reinstate Section 11.5.14 in Chapter 1 of LAMC and includes technical modifications to correct citations to processes and procedures that were updated and changed location by the Process and Procedures Ordinance. Lastly, the Ordinance removes references to the Chinatown and North Hollywood Redevelopment Plans, which have expired and are no longer enforceable.

As a reminder, additional information can be found in the fact sheet.

Thank you for your continued engagement with Los Angeles City Planning.
