LOCAL EMERGENCY CODE AMENDMENT: On December 3, 2020, the Los Angeles City Planning Commission (CPC) will consider the proposed Local Emergency Code Amendment Ordinance, which creates a mechanism for the City Council and Mayor to enact temporary regulatory relief from certain Zoning Code provisions related to time limitations and automobile parking provisions.

This is the first step in the adoption process for a proposed Ordinance, and several key steps remain. After consideration and adoption of a recommendation report by CPC, the proposed Ordinance will be considered by the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management Committee and undergo review by the City Attorney before final consideration by the fu

ll City Council. The date of these meetings is contingent on the outcome of the CPC meeting and have not been scheduled yet.

The Commission meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. and be conducted via teleconference. The meeting agenda can be found here, which includes instructions on how to attend. Any public comments submitted prior to the meeting should be directed to cpc@lacity.org.

A fact sheet outlining the key provisions of the proposed Ordinance is available online. Updates and further information can also be found on the Proposed Land Use Regulations page on City Planning’s website.
