Navigating the regulatory landscape of Los Angeles is often one of the most complex challenges architects face. The AIA|LA Quarterly Roundtables offer an exclusive, high-level dialogue directly with the leadership of Los Angeles City Planning (LACP). This is your opportunity to cut through the red tape, gain immediate clarity on shifting departmental processes, and directly advocate for the code clean-ups necessary to make your projects more feasible.

Prospective Roundtable Topics: To ensure these sessions remain highly relevant, future agendas will pivot to address the most pressing legislative and departmental priorities impacting your practice, including:

  • Zoning Code Clean-Up: Identifying and reforming specific hindrances, such as 14’ ground floor minimums.
  • Statewide Housing Initiatives: Practical implementation of SB 79, AB 130, SB 131, and other key bills.
  • The Tech Shift: How AI, automation, and new technologies are altering regulatory compliance.
  • Neighborhood Evolution: Navigating the Missing Middle, Corner Stores in SFRs, the Small Lot Ordinance, ADUs, and the Livable Communities Initiative.

Planning Updates: Real-time updates on Community Plans and the refinement or sunsetting of outdated Specific Plans.
