The Los Angeles City Council's Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee approved a motion directing the Department of City Planning (DCP) to report within 60 days on establishing a clear ministerial entitlement process for eligible mixed-income and 100% affordable housing and mixed-use projects. These projects are currently subject to discretionary review but qualify for enhanced development rights under the Citywide Housing Incentive Program (CHIP) and an exemption to the Project Review Ordinance. The motion specifically targets projects in overlay zones and Specific Plan areas, projects requiring CHIP or State Density Bonus Law waivers, and ministerial projects facing discretionary review due to non-planning related approvals (e.g., haul routes, street tree removal permits). Additionally, the motion directs the DCP to provide recommendations for implementing recent amendments to the State Permit Streamlining Act, which require ministerial entitlements for housing projects to be approved within 60 days of a deemed complete application.
