PLUM

(6) 26-1247 Motion (Blumenfield - McOsker) relative to requesting the City Attorney, in consultation with the Department of City Planning (DCP), to prepare and present a draft ordinance amending Chapter I and 1A of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC), applicable overlays, and other zoning regulations, and environmental clearance language, as necessary to: 1) implement and conform those provisions to the Charter amendments contained in the Charter Ballot Resolution, dated June 29, 2026 (Council file No. 26-1100-S12); 2) remove references to the Area Planning Commissions as decision-making or appellate authorities and replace those references with the Neighborhood Appeals Commission; preserve geographic representation corresponding to the seven existing Area Planning Commission areas; and provide that any appeals of decisions made by the City Planning Commission or Neighborhood Appeals Commission be heard by the City Council where procedures for second-level appeals are required; 3) include the necessary environmental clearance language in the ordinance that is consistent with the proposed amendment to Charter Section 555, wherein a General Plan Amendment is not acted upon within 75 days, the General Plan Amendment shall be deemed approved by operation of law, and that all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) shall be complied with and nothing therein is intended to eliminate the right of any interested party to appeal a CEQA determination; 4) remove any outdated references to repealed Charter Sections 562, 563, 564, and 565; 5) include language in the ordinance that expressly provides that its operative provisions are contingent upon voter approval of Measure PL, and that if the measure is not approved by the voters, this Ordinance shall not be made operative; and 6) include language in the ordinance that finds that the ordinance is intended to establish consistency between the City Charter, the LAMC, Chapter I and 1A, and other applicable zoning regulations and overlays, and does not constitute an action subject to the procedures in Charter Section 558.
