Pg. 25 The original VHFHSZ ADU regulations added a crucial step to mitigate the harm and damage caused by fires. These regulations should equally apply citywide along with the Hillside Construction Regulation Supplemental Use District (HCR SUD) and Baseline Hillside Ordinance (BHO). All of these protections combined will ensure safe and thoughtful development in VHFHSZ.
The Council instructs the Planning Department, in consultation with the City Attorney, to prepare and present an ordinance to amend Municipal Code Section 12.22 (Exceptions) to repeal the exceptions located within the Northeast Los Angeles Community Plan or Silver Lake -Echo Park – Elysian Valley Community Plan Area found in Section 33 (Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units) subsection 4 (i) to ensure that all VHFHSZ hillside neighborhoods across the City can equally benefit from fire prevention and safety measures.
Pg. 40 To preserve the character of HPOZ neighborhoods, the Planning Department must ensure that any streamlined one hundred percent affordable housing project is not out of scale, and foremost that it is in compliance with HPOZ Preservation Plans.
The Council instructs the Planning Department, in consultation with the City Attorney, to prepare and present a citywide Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) within 30 days to impose temporary regulations restoring the existing HPOZ discretionary review process on the issuance of permits associated with any demolition, building, use of land, grading, and other applicable permits for the new construction of one-hundred percent affordable housing projects that are currently subject to a ministerial approval process located in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone (HPOZ) neighborhood, and thereby ensure compliance with HPOZ Preservation Plans.
Further, the ICO includes an Urgency Clause, making it effective upon publication, and consistent with California Government Code §65858, the ICO shall run for 45 days, with a 10-month and 15-day extension by Council Resolution, and can be further extended for an additional 1 year, or until the adoption of the appropriate land use regulatory controls have been prepared by the Planning Department, adopted by the Council and become effective, whichever occurs first.

CF 24-0147 AT CITY COUNCIL 04/26/2024
PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE relative to requesting the Department of City Planning (DCP) to prepare an ordinance that would establish density bonus incentives for large family units in multi-family buildings, and related matters.
Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Krekorian – Raman – et al.):
INSTRUCT the DCP to prepare and present an ordinance that would establish density bonus incentives for large family units in multi-family buildings, with the following provisions, in addition to any other concepts that would result in more family-sized units:
Exemption of the square footage of the third, fourth, and fifth bedrooms and third and fourth restrooms from the floor area calculations of large family units.
Allow for an additional story of height beyond existing zoning restrictions and bonuses for developments consisting primarily of large family units. The square footage of the additional story shall be limited to the total exempt square feet in the project.
Requirement for a 99-year covenant on the units utilizing this density bonus, ensuring that the units will maintain the same unit mix and bedroom count of large family units and be available to households at 120 percent of the Area Median Income.
This bonus will be additive to existing bonuses and Transit Oriented Communities provisions, and shall be an administrative signoff.
INSTRUCT the DCP to incorporate the above actions and incentives into the City’s Housing Element Rezoning Program.

Subscriber Special Content: Supreme Court narrows local governments’ ability to impose impact fees – a potential sea change for California
Read: Article
On April 12, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its much-anticipated ruling in Sheetz v. County of El Dorado. The case concerned the legality of a local jurisdiction’s imposition of a traffic impact mitigation (TIM) fee upon a project applicant as a development permit condition. The threshold question in Sheetz was whether a legislatively authorized and broadly applicable permit condition is subject to the same analysis as an administratively imposed, ad-hoc permit condition for the purpose of determining whether it violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Court held that there is no reason to distinguish between permit conditions imposed legislatively or administratively. Consequently, the Court explained that the two-part “Nollan/Dolan” constitutional test indeed applies to legislatively imposed permit conditions. In California, where local governments routinely use legislatively authorized development impact fees to impose sizeable mitigation fees on new development, this ruling could represent a sea change for developers and local governments alike.
