EL SEGUNDO, Calif. \u2014 Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on Thursday a new milestone in the city’s ongoing work to fast-track rebuilding in Pacific Palisades:\u00a0the first approvals under LA’s Standard Plan Pilot Program for single-family homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe City of Los Angeles remains laser-focused on expediting the rebuilding of homes, businesses, and community spaces in the Palisades to get families home, no matter what it takes,\u201d Bass said in a statement. \u201cThe City\u2019s Standard Plan Pilot Program is just one of many tools now available to residents to fast-track the plan check process and get them home sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n
Established through an executive directive by Bass, the Standard Plan Pilot Program provides a library of pre-approved, code-compliant single-family home designs, reducing permitting time, cost and uncertainty for homeowners, builders and architects rebuilding in the Palisades, according to the city of LA.<\/p>\n
With the first plans now approved, homeowners can choose from a growing library of pre-approved designs that have already been reviewed by the LA Department of Building and Safety for full code compliance. This allows eligible projects to move swiftly to permit issuance, cutting time off the traditional review process.<\/p>\n
