Oil and Gas Drilling Ordinance
Los Angeles City Planning has announced the release of the proposed Oil and Gas Drilling Ordinance for public review and feedback. In response to city council file No. 17-0447, the proposed Oil Ordinance would amend the Los Angeles Municipal Code to prohibit all new oil and gas drilling activities and make any existing extraction a nonconforming use in all zones of the city.
Stakeholders and interested parties can comment on the proposed oil ordinance at a public hearing on Aug. 30. This proposed oil ordinance is anticipated to go before the city planning commission in fall 2022 where a recommendation will be made to the city council.
