    LA passes plan for new ‘low-rise’ housing, delaying state law that aims higher

    The Los Angeles City Council approved a 'Low-Rise Ordinance' allowing up to four-story buildings in 57 neighborhoods near transit stops, delaying full implementation of state law SB 79 until 2030. The ordinance targets areas deemed historically significant, fire-prone, or economically 'low resource,' while opponents argue it prioritizes apartment buildings over smaller housing types. Advocates support mixed-income developments but seek adjustments for affordability.
