The City of Los Angeles will conduct an Open House and Public Hearing regarding proposed Code Amendments affecting single-family residential hillside neighborhoods.
The proposed project includes amendments to the Los Angeles Municipal Code to establish new regulations for single-family zoned properties which are designated as Hillside Area. The amendments would result in: a reduction to the existing Floor Area Ratio (FAR); amendments to the existing Single-Family Residential Floor Area definition; changes to the height limits and how they are calculated; creation of new grading regulations; creation of a Hillside Standards Overlay District that would allow individual neighborhoods to adjust the baseline limits to better fit their community's character and scale; and establish or revise discretionary review processes for projects that deviate from the proposed FAR, height, and grading regulations.
