The LA Planning Department just announced that the Citywide Housing Incentives Program draft ordinances will be taken up on September 26, starting around 8:30am. It is possible to zoom-attend. Here’s the full text from the Planning letter than came out today. It includes useful links if you need to bone up on everything moving through the City on the updated Housing Element. Pretty much all of it is geared to inspire more housing production.
LA Planning Dept letter regarding in-progress Housing Element rework
Dear Interested Parties,
In June 2024, Los Angeles City Planning released the revised Housing Element Rezoning Program draft ordinances including the Citywide Housing Incentive Program Ordinance, the Housing Element Sites and Minimum Density Ordinance, and the Resident Protections Ordinance. Following the release of these drafts, City Planning hosted a public hearing on July 25th.
As a next step, City Planning is pleased to share that the proposed draft ordinances will be considered by the City Planning Commission (CPC) on Thursday, September 26, 2024. The meeting will begin after 8:30 a.m. and members of the public may attend in person in the John Ferraro Council Chamber, Room 340, 3rd Floor City Hall, 200 N. Spring St. (entrance on Main St), Los Angeles 90012, join virtually via Zoom, or listen via telephone. Additional information on how to participate in the meeting virtually or via phone will be available on the meeting agenda which will be released approximately 72 hours before the meeting.

The Staff Recommendation Report to the CPC will be available at least 10 days before the meeting date.
To view more information on the proposed Citywide Housing Incentive Program, Housing Element Sites and Minimum Density Ordinance, and Resident Protections Ordinance, please visit our webpage, where you will find resources such as Fact Sheets for each draft ordinance.
Following consideration by the CPC, the ordinances 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.
As a reminder, public comment has now closed. If you have questions about next steps in the adoption process for the proposed ordinances associated with the Housing Element Rezoning Program, please email [email protected].
Thank you.
