Document Description
The project is an ordinance amending Title 21 and Title 22 of the Los Angeles County Code to 1) align local housing development regulations in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County with recent changes in state law; 2) support the preservation and development of affordable housing; 3) promote housing diversity; 4) remove zoning barriers to fair housing; and 5) simplify language and correct existing errors in the County Code to facilitate implementation. The proposed ordinance amendments include the following:
1) Amend the Density Bonus Ordinance to align with changes in the state Density Bonus Law and expand local bonuses and incentives to incentivize the development of affordable housing, including acutely low-income housing;
2) Amend the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance with non-substantive and technical changes for clarity and ease of use;
3) Amend the Affordable Housing Preservation Ordinance to align with state law, including the affordable housing replacement requirements from Assembly Bill (AB) 1218 and AB 98;
4) Update definitions of and regulations for various housing types;
5) Amend the Reasonable Accommodation Ordinance to simplify and streamline the reasonable accommodation review process;
6) Update the Interim and Supportive Housing Ordinance to align with state law changes under AB 1801 regarding by-right supportive housing development; and
7) Simplify the County Code language, correct errors and omissions, and remove obsolete and redundant regulations across various housing ordinances for clarity and ease of use, including the reorganization of Chapter 22.128, Supportive Housing, and Chapter 22.130, Transitional Housing.
