The Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance amending Section 12.03 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to modify the definition of 'Dwelling Unit.' This amendment now permits the inclusion of two or more kitchens within a single dwelling unit. The intent behind this change is to accommodate larger families, multi-generational households, and other flexible living arrangements without necessitating the creation of additional dwelling units. The ordinance clarifies that such setups do not constitute separate dwelling units, provided that all areas within the unit remain internally accessible and are not separately rented or leased. This change aims to offer greater flexibility to homeowners and encourage a more efficient utilization of the existing housing stock within the city.
