Release of Draft Amendment to Home-Sharing Ordinance for 60-day Public Review
In response to a City Council Motion (Council File No. 18-1245), Los Angeles City Planning has drafted a proposed amendment to the City’s Home-Sharing Ordinance to permit and regulate the use of owner-occupied units subject to the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) for home-sharing. Under the proposed framework, the City would permit a limited number of owner-occupied RSO units to participate in Home-Sharing, while incorporating provisions to ensure that there is limited impact to the availability of rent-stabilized housing for long-term residential use and to limit potential abuse.
Today, the proposed Amendment to the Home-Sharing Ordinance, Case No. CPC-2020-2762-CA, has been released for a 60-day public review period. In addition, a fact sheet containing an overview of the ordinance, background information, and answers to frequently-asked questions is available online.
City Planning will be holding a staff public hearing for the proposed ordinance via conferencing technology on Thursday, June 4, 2020 starting at 5:30 pm. At the hearing, Staff will present the ordinance to the public, and provide an opportunity for people to make official testimony for the public record. Additional information regarding the hearing, including presentation materials and details on how to dial in, is provided in the public hearing notice.
Members of the public may also submit written comments tocally.hardy@lacity.org prior to July 10, 2020. After that date, written commen
ts should be provided to the City Planning Commission at cpc@lacity.org. The proposed amendment is tentatively scheduled for consideration by the City Planning Commission on Thursday, July 23, 2020.
