LA Councilmember Monica Rodriguez says the city should cut the red tape so owners of illegal ADUs will come forward.
City Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez is seeking to create an amnesty program for legalizing unpermitted accessory dwelling units in Los Angeles, according to a motion filed on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
“In other words, a garage illegally converted into a residential unit must be first be fully permitted as, and returned to, a garage before the applicant can then apply to legalize and convert their unit into an ADU,” the motion states. “What I’m proposing that we do is cut the red tape in order to make it easier for residents to come forward and convert an unpermitted unit into a legal ADU, bringing it up to code for the health and safety of its inhabitants,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “In turn, an affordable housing requirement would be placed on their legal ADUs, which would ensure that Angelenos have access to more affordable rents. It’s a win-win.
