Hi Sharon, I would like to ask that you please add my comments to the council file related to the Second Dwelling Unit Repeal Ordinance (CF: 14-0057-S8)

Dear City Councilmembers,

I am emailing to support a Yes vote on CF: 14-0057-S8. I believe that the City of Los Angeles badly needs additional housing, and SDUs are a great way to add units that are more affordable than most other new housing while having minimal impact to the surrounding neighborhood. These backyard homes fit into their surroundings and help multi- generational families stay together or smaller families share space at an affordable rate. Additionally, there are nearly 400 families who have been in limbo for over 5 months already after beginning the SDU permitting process prior to the City Attorney halting the ssuance of permits based on the lawsuit in Cheviot Hills.

Housing affects people's lives on a fundamental level and to deny these home owners a way to move forward and support their families to live affordably is unacceptable. This limbo situation MUST be resolved for all those who were issued permits and have started construction and for those home owners who have already applied and spent considerable sums of money on the reliance that they were following the rules set by the LADBS. Thank you for supporting more housing to help make LA a more affordable place to live.

Sincerely,

Dudley Beene Toluca Lake, CA

Dear City Council Members,

I am writing to voice my opposition to the proposed repeal of the second dwelling ordinance.

Repealing this ordinance will have lasting negative impacts on the character and infrastructure of our neighborhoods. Abandoning the city's local control of second dwelling units will leave us at the mercy of incredibly weak state standards, and throw open the gates to developers to further fuel real estate speculation in our neighborhoods

You have several options at your disposal to bring the City into compliance with state law on second units. There is simply no reason to discard our protective local standards. If revisions to the Second Dwelling Unit ordinance are necessary, at the very least they must be considered with adequate public outreach, not on the current “fast track1' basis, so that all stakeholder have the opportunity to consider proposed changes and express their opinion.
