In April, Los Angeles City Planning released a revised draft of the proposed Wildlife District Ordinance, with a goal of having this ordinance considered by the city’s Planning Commission in the fall of 2022.

This summer, city planning will hold an information session and public hearing on the proposed ordinance.

The Wildlife District Ordinance proposes new development standards for lot coverage, landscaping and setbacks, as well as grading and height limitations, among others.

The ordinance includes regulations that apply to all properties within the Wildlife District.

The Wildlife District proposal includes a code amendment to create a new Wildlife Supplemental Use District and a zone change to apply the regulations to the zoning of properties located in the WLD District.

An interactive version of the map, which allows residents to search by address and view ridgeline and resource buffers, is available on the City Planning website at planning4la.org/wildlife.

Participants are encouraged to view the recorded presentation that will be shared at the virtual information sessions, which will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on June 28. From 5 to 7 p.m. on July 13, a virtual public hearing will be held.

The hearing officer will consider all public testimony and any written communication submitted prior to or at the hearing. Any written communication must include case numbers CPC-2022-3413-CA and CPC-2022-3712-ZC. Comments may be submitted by email to ourla2040@lacity.org or by hard copy through July 22 at 5 p.m.

Information about the meeting can be obtained in Spanish by calling (213)978-1877.
