Residents in Pacific Palisades have expressed concern over the slow pace of building permits, with only 23 issued since a January fire. To address this, leaders are turning to AI, specifically a partnership between Steadfast LA and Archistar, which aims to expedite plan approvals. Archistar's AI technology checks submissions for zoning and building code compliance instantly, potentially reducing weeks of waiting into minutes. This initiative is seen as crucial for facilitating faster recovery and rebuilding efforts in the community.
"This AI tool has the potential to save homeowners valuable time by helping them submit code-compliant plans from the start," County Supervisor Kathryn Barger said.
Archistar says their technology shifts weeks long permitting processes into just minutes.
City, state and philanthropic leaders are looking to AI as a way forward in a process where all have sought to cut red tape to speed up the city's recovery.
The software will automatically check submitted plans for compliance with local zoning and building codes, according to a release from Gov. Gavin Newsom's office.
