Wildlife Pilot Study Requests Feedback

Los Angeles City Planning has announced updated resources for the Wildlife Pilot Study, including a new webpage and informational video. This update also highlights the release of the Draft Wildlife Ordinance for public review and feedback.

The Wildlife Pilot Study has informed the creation of a draft ordinance to support the city’s sustainability goals to conserve and protect important habitats and the connections between them. The effort identifies areas of ecological value for wildlife in the City of Los Angeles and proposes regulations for new development that can be more compatible with the land, water, plants, and animals that make up our city’s world class natural environment.

The new web page includes an updated project summary and timeline, more details on the regulations that are proposed in the draft ordinance, a new informational video providing background information and explanation of the proposed regulations, as well as additional resources and ways to engage with the project. Please look at the video and Fact Sheet, the Draft Ordinance, and stay tuned for additional engagement in the Spring and Summer. Your feedback is welcome on the initial draft ordinance. Please send comments or questions to Lena Mik at OurLA2040@lacity.org.
