PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
relative to a report on an assessment detailing the impacts of Senate
Bill (SB) 79 (Weiner), and a comprehensive report identifying and
assessing the projected impacts of SB79 density on the City’s
infrastructure and utility systems.
Recommendations for Council action, as initiated by Motion (Park –

1. INSTRUCT the Department of City Planning (DCP), with the
assistance of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and other
departments as needed, to report by December 1, 2025, on the
following:
a. The definition of "transit-oriented development stop"
b. Detailed maps of the areas where development projects
would be allowed under SB79, including identification of
Tier 1 and Tier 2 stops and, for each, whether it is or will
be served by heavy rail, very high frequency commuter
rail, light rail, high frequency commuter rail, or qualifying
bus service, and its status (e.g., existing, under
construction, funded, in active planning, potential, or no
longer under consideration)
c. When official SB79 maps are expected to be provided to
the City
d. Options for implementing SB79, including proceeding with
implementation,
developing
a
Transit-Oriented
Development Alternative Plan (TODAP), and/or delayed
effectuation, including but not limited to the following:
i. The necessary findings
ii. The number of "Transit-oriented development stops"
that are anticipated to be analyzed
iii. Timelines and deadlines for preparing ordinances to
comply with SB79, submission to and review by the

2. INSTRUCT the City Administrative Officer (CAO) to report to

and other City departments, with personnel and financial
sources needed to prepare for implementation of SB79, and
within 30 days provide funding for the capacity modeling for
delayed effectuation and local alternative plans.
3. INSTRUCT the DCP, with the assistance of DOT, Los Angeles
Housing Department, City Attorney, Chief Legislative Analyst
(CLA), and other departments as needed, to prepare a report by

date it was established
d. Whether the provision of SB79 that allows findings
regarding the absence of a walking path of less than one
mile applies to barriers that could be removed unilaterally
by the City or the relevant transit agency, such as gates,
walls, fences or temporary closure of pedestrian
passageways or tunnels
e. Options for stations included in the Regional
Transportation Plan that are on transit lines whose
preferred alignment has not been determined, or for which
implementation is speculative, doubtful or unlikely to
occur, including a determination that SB79 does not apply
or transfer of development potential to other station areas
f. Recommendations on any local implementation options
including:
Priorities for TODAPs or delayed effectuation, including in
low resource areas, very high fire severity zones
(especially areas with Substandard Hillside Limited
Streets), HPOZs, quality of transit service, or other criteria
g. Options for areas without sidewalks or other pedestrian
infrastructure such as streetlights or street trees, including
the feasibility to require improvements to the public right of
way, including continuous sidewalks between a parcel and
the transit stop, or to prioritize areas with existing
pedestrian
infrastructure;
Details
on
how
the
implementation will interface with already adopted and
proposed Community Plans and the Citywide Housing

infrastructure and utility systems to support projected
density from SB79
b. Costs to maintain expanded and upgraded infrastructure
and utility systems needed to support SB79 density

upgraded infrastructure and utility enhancement plan to
support new SB79 density
d. Recommendations for mitigation, funding strategies, and
any additional policy actions the City Council should

projected SB 79 development

maintenance in the public right of way in areas or
communities where SB79 is being implemented or where
a TODAP has been adopted that provides for equivalent
growth potential within the community where that transitoriented development stop is located. This would include
City-directed spending under the Sidewalk Repair
Program
6. INSTRUCT the DCP to report to Council in 90 days on the City's
plan to meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
consistent with Housing Element and Affirmatively Furthering
Fair Housing obligations for the 6th and 7th RHNA cycles in the
context of possible exemptions and deferrals under SB79. This
should include a capacity modeling exercise to assess
maximum zoned capacity and realistic capacity in low-resource
areas and high-resource areas near transit, including those
studied under the CHIP such as Transit Oriented Incentive
Areas, Opportunity Corridors, Opportunity Corridor Transitional
Areas to ensure compliance under SB79 and Housing Element
law.
