During today\u2019s\u00a0Public Hearing<\/a>\u00a0meeting, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve a new\u00a0ordinance<\/a>\u00a0that will implement design standards for residential and mixed-use construction projects across all 42 of the County\u2019s unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n

The design standards, presented by Los Angeles County\u2019s Department of Regional Planning, provide an objective menu of options for developers\u2019 use that support compatibility with the various architectural styles that are present throughout the County.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate the work that has gone into crafting this ordinance,\u201d said\u00a0Supervisor Kathryn Barger<\/strong>. \u201cThe state is continually eroding local government\u2019s control and nowhere is that more evident than in the construction of \u2018by-right\u2019 housing projects. These projects will move forward whether or not they have local community support due to changes in state laws and cannot be opposed by the County. These new design standards will at least provide some guidance up front so that construction projects don\u2019t completely go rogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The standards are organized into seven categories, including building facade details, vehicle parking facilities, landscaping and fencing, among others.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Barger also read-in an accompanying\u00a0motion<\/a>\u00a0that specifies that both the Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley Planning Areas are exempt from the ordinance\u2019s prohibition on the use of chain link fencing. \u201cA number of communities in north County have expressed concerns about that prohibition\u201d\u00a0Supervisor Barger\u00a0<\/strong>stated. \u201cI\u2019m well aware that chain link fences are a cost-effective manner to secure the vast parcels of land that exist there and to enclose animals. Rural communities\u2019 needs are unique and it\u2019s my job to make sure their concerns are addressed wherever possible.\u201d The Board of Supervisors unanimously voted in favor of Supervisor Barger\u2019s motion, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
