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.
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.
