Meeting recap – PlanCheckNC June 9th

At the June 9th NC PlanCheckNC meeting, Bonnie Kim from Los Angeles Department of City Planning did a presentation on the Process and Procedures Code Amendment. The Process and Procedures Ordinance will be the second major part of a larger effort to update the City’s Zoning Code. The proposal will lay the groundwork  for more user-friendly set of guidelines. As a part of the proposed action, the new administrative provisions will go into a new Chapter 1A of the Municipal Code and will apply to both the existing Zoning Code (Chapter 1 of the Municipal Code) and the new one when it goes into effect. Chapter 1A will eventually serve as the only Zoning Code for the City of Los Angeles; however, it will be adopted in phases, replacing the content of Chapter 1 over time, and implementing the policies of Community Plans as they are adopted.

The Planning Department will give a presentation, answer questions, and conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at the Ronald F. Deaton Civic Auditorium, 100 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
