The Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee approved a motion to instruct the Department of Building and Safety (DBS), in consultation with the Department of City Planning, Bureau of Engineering, and the Los Angeles Fire Department, to report within 30 days on current departmental reviews, approvals, and permitting procedures for Housing and Community Development (HCD)-approved single family and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) plans. The report should include a proposal for an expedited process for projects using HCD-approved building plans, identify barriers slowing down staff reviews and plan check approvals, and recommend ways to enhance and incentivize HCD-approved construction for small-scale projects in Los Angeles, including exploring a separate, expedited process for HCD-approved and other state-certified plans upon application completeness. This matter is now forwarded to the City Council for consideration.
