Thursday, May 14, 2026 · Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles City Planning says the City Planning Commission voted on May 14 to recommend approval of two ordinances tied to local SB 79 implementation, including the Low-Rise Ordinance and the Phased Implementation Ordinance. For real estate professionals, the update matters because it signals continued movement on zoning and housing policy near transit and in lower-density areas, which can affect long-term development potential, parcel expectations, and buyer and seller questions about neighborhood change.
