The City of Los Angeles is considering an ordinance to extend the interim control for residential conversions. This interim control prevents the conversion of existing residential units to non-residential uses (such as hotels or short-term rentals) without specific approvals. The extension aims to preserve the city's housing stock and prevent displacement of residents, particularly in areas experiencing high demand for short-term accommodations. The proposed ordinance will extend the existing interim control for another six months, allowing the city more time to develop permanent regulations regarding residential conversions. This decision is crucial for maintaining housing affordability and availability in Los Angeles.
