I figured there'd be some nonsense after the fires, but nothing like this.
The County proposes a two-track permitting system: fast lane for like-for-like rebuilds; slow lane for everything else.

The uber-nonsense begins on p. 13, where the resolution calls for a letter to the Governor and state legislative delegation from all L.A. county commissioners, demanding that "fire-impacted communities" (an undefined term--all of L.A. County?) be exempted from...

basically every state housing law: the HAA, the Housing Element Law, the Density Bonus Law, the commercial-corridors upzoning laws, the parking-reductions-near-transit law, the 5-hearing limit & objective-standards definition of SB 330, and more.

So we’ll rebuild to the general status quo of undersupplied
Chris, is there a good way to figure out what regulations and process a home or project has to go through in the state? Curious of how one knows what’s applicable to them
Omg. Please go tf away and let the adults in the room do the important work of helping the fire victims rebuild.
This raises an interesting question: shouldn't all areas elsewhere located in high-risk fire areas also be exempted from state housing laws? Incl. hi-risk parts of otherwise safe cities. Shouldn't RHNA redo all their allocations & remove hi-risk portions of cities & populations?
