The Los Angeles City Council passed a motion instructing the Board of Public Works' Office of Petroleum and Natural Gas Administration and Safety, with assistance from the City Administrative Officer and in consultation with various departments, to report on recommendations for instituting best practices regarding oil and gas uses in the land use regulatory process. The motion also seeks solutions to protect the health and safety of residents from developments built over oil wells. The report is expected to include an assessment of existing enforcement practices, recommendations to improve development standards for locating oil wells, analysis of environmental reviews near oil wells, summaries of methane mitigation requirements, and feasibility studies for design regulations near oil wells.
