In response to an adopted City Council Motion (Council File # 11-1441-S1), Los Angeles City Planning has prepared and released the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance (CPC-2021-3001-CA), which establishes a new Ridgeline Protection Supplemental Use District (SUD) in the Los Angeles Municipal Code. The Ridgeline Protection SUD will contain development regulations to preserve and protect the natural crests of the mountains that surround and bisect the City of Los Angeles.

Application of the proposed Ridgeline Protection Ordinance will occur through a separate Zone Change Ordinance (CPC-2021-3059-ZC), which will apply the SUD to a Pilot Area in Bel Air – Beverly Crest, as well as a portion of Hollywood. City Planning is holding a combined virtual Staff Public Hearing for both the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, which was released on April 19, 2021, and the related Zone Change Ordinance. Prior to the start of the Public Hearing, staff will provide an overview presentation of the proposed ordinance and its application in a pilot area. Attendees will then have an opportunity to ask clarifying questions to staff prior to the start of the actual Public Hearing, at which point attendees are encouraged to provide comments and testimony for the public record. The hearing notice includes all the details on how to access the public hearing, which is scheduled for June 17, 2021, starting at 1 p.m.

Members of the public may also submit written comments to Patrick Whalen at Patrick.Whalen@lacity.org.
