| Subject: SB 79 Implementation Report – PLUM Committee Review Hello, You are receiving this message to share the Los Angeles Department of City Planning’s newly released report regarding the local implementation of Senate Bill 79 (SB 79), the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act. The Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee will be hearing this report at its upcoming meeting. Given the scope and potential citywide implications of SB 79, this document is being circulated to support awareness, informed discussion, and thoughtful engagement. SB 79 introduces significant changes to development standards near transit, including potential adjustments to density, height, and zoning regulations. The report outlines proposed implementation approaches, delayed effectuation options, and rezoning considerations that may affect neighborhoods across Los Angeles. Because these policies may shape land use patterns for years to come, stakeholders are encouraged to review the report and consider how the recommendations may impact their communities, planning priorities, and local conditions. The full report may be accessed here: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=25-1083 Constructive feedback, analysis, and perspectives are welcome as this matter proceeds through the City’s legislative process. Thank you for your time and attention to this important planning issue. |
