Because of this extra step, it appears highly unlikely that any changes to the BHO/BMO or any new R1 variations will take effect before mid-March. The City Council and Mayor still are expected to approve these proposed changes before several ICOs expire on March 25; it’s just looking more and more likely that it’ll be hours or days before that March 25 deadline, not weeks.
The City Council’s Planning & Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee voted late Tuesday to support the Planning Department’s proposed R1 Variations Ordinance and specific R1 varieties for about 20 different neighborhoods. But rather than forward that recommendation to the City Council for a full vote, PLUM voted to send those draft ordinances along with the previously endorsed revisions to the Baseline Hillside Ordinance (BHO) and Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) back to the City Attorney’s Office. The CAO will combined all of these draft ordinances into one, large ordinance for the City Council to vote on.

The proposed R1 Variations Ordinance – which would create 16 different varieties of the R1 zone – is on today's agenda of the City Council’s Planning & Land Use Management Committee (PLUM). Also on the agenda is an ordinance that would establish one of these new R1 varieties for 20+ neighborhoods, mostly in West LA.
PLUM previously considered and approved draft versions of these proposals from City Planning last month and forwarded them to the City Attorney’s Office for creation of the final, proposed ordinance. These two ordinances – the R1 Varieties and the neighborhood-specific recommendations – are part of City Planning’s overall rework of the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance and will replace the Interim Control Ordinances (ICOs) that the City Council approved in March 2015 and which expire on March 24 of this year. The ordinances being considered at today’s PLUM meeting are: R1 VARIATIONS: http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2016/16-1460_misc_02-10-2017.pdf NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERATION ZONE CHANGES: http://clkrep.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2016/16-1470_misc_02-10-2017.pdf A couple of key points:
