On Tuesday, the City Council’s Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee heard a Planning Department report on the City’s Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) and the Department’s Neighborhood Conservation Initiative.

While the Planning Department begins work to close loopholes in the BMO and develop additional neighborhood conservation tools, the report recognizes that certain specific communities may need immediate relief. Councilman Englander introduced a friendly amendment asking that the Old Granada Hills area be added to this list of areas in need of protection.

The report will return to the Committee prior to moving to full Council for adoption.
