Los Angeles City Council agenda, October 27, 2026

October 27, 2026, 10 a.m. · Updated October 27, 2026

On the agenda: The Los Angeles City Council's Oct. 27, 2026 agenda lists 33 items. It asks the Council to veto the Police Commission's approval of an agreement with Axon Enterprise for a license plate reader pilot, on the last day the Council can act, and to adopt zone changes for a new Fire Station 31 at 16300 Foothill Boulevard in Sylmar and a 474-unit, two-tower project on Violet Street in Council District 14. It also lists a no-fee permit for small film shoots and up to $130 million in bonds for 235 affordable units at 1150 Sunset Boulevard.

Agenda only. As of October 27, 2026, the October 27, 2026 meeting of the Los Angeles City Council has not happened yet and nothing on its agenda has been decided. Agendas can change.

The City Clerk posted the 33-item agenda on Oct. 23, 2026. Items 1 to 15 had public hearings in committee. Items 16 to 33 are listed as items with no public hearing, so the Council needs 10 votes to take them up. Items 5 to 8 are ordinances on first consideration, which need a unanimous vote with at least 12 members present to pass that day (agenda).

Routine items, from the agenda and the council files linked:

• 16: use up to $182,821 in interest from the state’s Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Round 5 (HHAP-5) grant for Bureau of Engineering salaries and permit fees for repairs at the navigation center at 729 West Manchester Avenue in Council District 8. The motion says the Council approved $753,757 for the repairs on Oct. 9, 2026, and puts the total cost at $936,578. Marqueece Harris-Dawson moved it and Ysabel Jurado seconded; the Homelessness and Health Committee waived consideration (motion, CF 17-0090-S6).

1. Strategy on homelessness among young adults

• What it does: Directs the City Administrative Officer, with the Housing Department’s Bureau of Homelessness Oversight, to report within 90 days on a strategy for Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) homelessness. The strategy would draw on TAY providers and philanthropy, use the HHAP grants’ TAY set-aside, seek Foster Youth to Independence vouchers, and plan for TAY who could lose housing in the next federal Continuum of Care funding round (committee report).
• Background in the motion: The motion cites the 2026 Point in Time count: about 2,000 people aged 18 to 24 without stable housing in the City. It says about 350 TAY households are in City-funded shelter, that the City has historically underspent the HHAP TAY set-aside, and that more than 800 TAY households are housed with federal Continuum of Care money (motion).
• Who brought it: Nithya Raman, Katy Yaroslavsky and Bob Blumenfield, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez (CF 26-1151).

• What it does: Instructs the Bureau of Street Services to report in 30 days on a 3-, 5-, 10- and 25-year staffing plan to plant every vacant tree well in the Tree Planting Prioritization Plan, with attention to Clean Up Green Up neighborhoods. The report would also cover watering and maintenance, faster permits for community groups, a public dashboard, an updated citywide tree inventory and the cost of tree-related claims against the City (committee report).
• Who brought it: Imelda Padilla, seconded by Bob Blumenfield (CF 26-1333).
• Committee vote: The Public Works Committee approved it on Oct. 13, 2026, 3-0: Hernandez, Padilla and Hutt (committee report).

The North Hollywood West Neighborhood Council filed one in favor on Oct. 20, 2026, after a 9-0 board vote on Oct. 14. It asks that the plan put Valley neighborhoods with the least tree canopy first, pay for watering new trees for at least three years, and repair broken tree well covers (Community Impact Statement, CF 26-1333).
• Money: No financial analysis has been done (agenda).

3. Federal grant for cool pavement and shade in the San Fernando Valley

• What it does: Has Street Services accept a $2.5 million Federal Highway Administration grant for the Cool Pavement and Shade Structures project, and lets it move money between its accounts to carry out the grant (committee report).
• Background in the motion: The motion says Rep. Luz Rivas secured the money as a federal earmark. It would pay for new bus shelters and benches, cool pavement, and new street trees in Congressional District 29 (motion).

• Committee vote: The Public Works Committee approved it on Oct. 13, 2026, 3-0: Hernandez, Padilla and Hutt (committee report).

• What it does: Instructs Transportation, Recreation and Parks, Engineering, Street Services, the Department of Water and Power and other departments to report on opening non-specialized City-owned parking lots, yards, staging areas and civic properties to productions for $1 a day or a legally required nominal fee. The fee would not apply when a production wants exclusive use, needs City staff, or a department finds a safety or operating conflict. Departments would report within 120 days on use and impacts, and the City Administrative Officer would report on the fiscal impact (committee report).
• Background in the report: The committee report says Culver City and Santa Monica give free or symbolic-fee access to public lots for filming. It ties the change to the City’s Keep Hollywood Home initiative (committee report).
• Who brought it: Adrin Nazarian, seconded by Heather Hutt (CF 25-1508).
• Committee vote: The Ad Hoc Committee on Film, Entertainment, and Creative Industry concurred with an earlier Economic Development and Jobs Committee report, as amended, on Oct. 16, 2026, 3-0: Nazarian, Park and Padilla (committee report).

5. Free Micro-Shoot film permit

• What it does: Adopts an Oct. 7, 2026 ordinance amending Municipal Code Sections 41.20 and 41.20.1 to create a no-fee permit for micro-shoots. It also asks the Board of Public Works, with Fire, Police, Transportation, Recreation and Parks and FilmLA, to report within 60 days on a plan modeled on New York City’s “Letter in Lieu” permit (committee report).
• Who qualifies: Under the Council’s March 4, 2026 request, a micro-shoot has no more than 10 people, uses handheld or lightweight gear, blocks no more than half a sidewalk, and uses no generators, drones, special effects, parking removal or traffic control (committee report).
• Department views: The committee report says the LAPD found the idea feasible but wants clearer limits, such as on police uniforms and simulated crimes. FilmLA raised questions about City liability, insurance and oversight and said cost recovery should remain a consideration. LADOT had no concerns. The Board of Public Works suggested first using FilmLA’s Low Impact Permit Pilot, started in April 2026, to test new permit types (committee report).
• Who brought it: Adrin Nazarian, seconded by Bob Blumenfield (CF 25-1498).
• Committee vote: The Ad Hoc Committee on Film, Entertainment, and Creative Industry recommended the ordinance on Oct. 16, 2026, 3-0: Nazarian, Park and Padilla (committee report).
• Neighborhood council positions: Greater Wilshire, NoHo and Los Feliz are listed in favor (agenda).
• Money: Neither the Board of Public Works nor the City Attorney submitted a fiscal impact statement, and no financial analysis has been done (agenda).

6. Correction to the Low-Rise Ordinance

• What it does: Amends the base incentive table of the Low-Rise Ordinance (Ordinance No. 188967, approved June 30, 2026), the City’s local rules under state Senate Bill 79. The City Attorney says the table carried an error. The fix sets the maximum in the LR-1 Eligibility Subarea at 10 units; the LR-2 subarea covers projects of 11 to 16 units. The City Attorney says the change matches the version the City Planning Commission approved and changes nothing else (City Attorney report).

7. Zoning for Fire Station 31 in Sylmar

• What it does: Changes the General Plan land use of 16300 West Foothill Boulevard from Limited Industrial to Public Facilities and rezones it from [Q]M1-1 to (T)PF-1, so a new two-story Fire Station 31 can be built on the 35,067-square-foot vacant lot. The applicant is the Bureau of Engineering (case CPC-2026-3542-GPA-ZC) (committee report).
• Background in the motion: The motion says the land was dedicated to the City for a fire station and is encumbered by covenants from past entitlements. It says the station would cut response times in the area from about eight to nine minutes to three to four minutes (motion).

Five existing buildings would stay. At completion the site would have 480 live/work units and 36,865 square feet of commercial space.

The Council would ask Metro to coordinate (committee report).
• Background in the motion: The committee report, citing the motion, says the airport was scheduled to open a $1.3 billion, 14-gate terminal on Oct. 13, 2026, served a record 6.55 million passengers in 2024, and sits about three miles from North Hollywood Station with no direct seven-day transit link (committee report).
