McOsker Motions for Land Use Policy Update Aiming for Sustainability, Community Engagement

 

LOS ANGELES Los Angeles City Council March 15 approved councilmember Tim McOsker’s motion instructing the Department of City Planning, in consultation with the city attorney, to present an ordinance to amend language around CD15 land use policies.

There are a number of community gardens in CD15, located in virtually every zoning designation. However, the current land use rules prohibits the selling of this fresh produce where the food is grown.

Councilmember McOsker aims to change that rule to allow limited sales and distribution of produce at the site where it is grown. These limited sales would be good for the farmers, and for the community that surrounds the local farm.

Farmers throughout the district, from Watts to the Harbor Area, showed up in council chambers to support amending this ordinance. The council member’s office will continue to provide updates on the progress of this motion.
