Proposed Oil and Gas Drilling Ordinance
|
|
Los Angeles City Planning (City Planning) announced the release of the proposed Oil and Gas Drilling Ordinance (Oil 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.
The proposed Oil Ordinance would phase out these oil drilling activities, which are known hazards to public health and safety, by immediately banning new oil and gas extraction and requiring the removal of existing operations after an amortization period.
Stakeholders and interested parties will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed Oil Ordinance at a public hearing on August 30, 2022. As instructed by City Council, 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.

It's that time a year again! Get out the Pee-Chee folders, pencils, pens, and your Tap Card! Whether you and your child are new to Metro's transit system, or it's been a summer...we have some recommended next steps:
Tips for youth
-
Know your route. Plan your route ahead of time and leave early so you’re not rushed. Have a backup route just in case there’s a delay with your first plan.
-
Travel with a friend whenever possible. When you stay together on board the bus or train, safety is in numbers.
-
Stay alert to what’s going on around you. Keep a look out for your stop. If you need to use your phone, look up from your screen often, and keep one earbud out so you can hear what’s going on around you, too. If you ever see someone acting in a way that makes you uncomfortable, move away. Sit closer to the bus/train operator or switch to another bus or train car.
-
Hold on to your stuff. Keep your phone, devices and any valuables in your bag. Be sure you take everything with you as you exit.
-
See something? Say something. Know how to get help if you ever don’t feel safe. If there’s someone or something causing you to not feel safe, let us know and someone will respond right away.
