This motion proposes amendments to the existing Adaptive Reuse Ordinance (ARO) to broaden its applicability across the City of Los Angeles, remove geographic restrictions, and streamline the conversion of existing commercial and industrial buildings into housing. The proposed amendments aim to stimulate housing production, particularly affordable housing, by reducing barriers to adaptive reuse projects. The motion seeks to expand eligible building types, modify parking requirements, and adjust various development standards to facilitate more conversions. The City Council continued this item to a future date to allow for further public input and staff analysis on the proposed amendments.
