""While we as a body opposed SB 79...the reason for it was legitimate. It's to create more opportunities for housing construction and focus development in areas of high-quality transit," said Councilmember Bob Blumenfield."
""The plan, pushed by homeowners wanting to mitigate the upzoning, was one of three options developed by the Department of City Planning that the council was considering.""
L.A. City Council voted to adopt a strategy to upzone 55 single-family and low-density areas, allowing for 4-16 unit buildings up to four stories. This decision aims to delay the implementation of SB 79, which permits taller buildings near transit stops. The strategy reflects a compromise, adding some density while not fully embracing the higher limits set by SB 79. The plan was influenced by homeowners seeking to mitigate the effects of upzoning and is part of a broader effort to manage housing development in the city.
