November in Review 🍂
This month, significant citywide ordinances were under review. LA’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee delayed the approval of the Citywide Housing Incentive Program (CHIP) ordinance to allow for further adjustments and stakeholder input.
The Downtown Los Angeles 2040 Community Plan and the Hollywood Community Plan, which include new zoning policies, adaptive reuse updates, and tenant protections, were approved and will be reviewed by City Council.
