The City Council has approved amendments to the existing South Los Angeles Community Plan Implementation Overlay (CPIO) District. These amendments include creating a CPIO Protected Unit Area to provide new tenant protections, modifying Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Subareas to increase bonus incentives for affordable housing projects, and adding new Slauson Subareas to encourage green jobs, expanded affordable housing opportunities, and path-oriented building design. These changes aim to enhance tenant protections, promote sustainable development, and encourage equitable economic growth in South Los Angeles.
These amendments are significant as they aim to protect tenants from displacement, encourage the development of affordable housing, and foster economic growth through green job opportunities in South Los Angeles. This aligns with the city's broader goals of promoting sustainable and inclusive development.
