The City Council voted unanimously today to approve the proposed changes to the Baseline Hillside Ordinance (BHO), Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) and new R1 Variation Zones. However, the third vote of the day didn’t garner enough votes to skip the second reading (see explanation below) so all of the ordinances will return to the City Council on March 8 for a second reading, the City Clerk announced.
That means the earliest the new ordinances will probably take effect is Monday, March 13. And it could be later depending upon how long Mayor Garcetti waits to sign the ordinances once the City Council votes a second time.
One side note: Councilman Paul Koretz (CD5) successfully had the new R1 Variation zone for the Cheviot Hills area removed from the proposed ordinance. Koretz requested 30 days to work on creating a new R1 zone for the area that will address homeowners’ concerns about the zone that had been proposed for their neighborhood.
