In 2008, the City Council adopted the Baseline Mansionization rdinance (BM) to address the proliferation of out-of-scale single-family developments in the City s single family neighborhoods. o preserve characteristics of individual single family neighborhoods, BM included a esidential Floor rea (F) upplemental Use istrict (U) process that tailored development standards and Floor rea atio (F) that best complemented the size and character of its neighborhoods. In a motion, dated eptember 5, 2008 Council directed the epartment of City Planning to initiate an F for tudio City. In 2012, the City Council adopted rdinance o establishing the tudio City F for all single family zones in non-hillside areas for the purposes of reducing impacts to surrounding homes while preserving neighborhood character. he tudio City F regulations can be found here: he tudio City F set a residential floor area maximum and created a menu of nine bonus options which increases the allowable F in exchange for desirable design and environmental features. hat are the updated ingle-family egulations formerly known as BM?

Introduction of the encroachment plane which require taller building mass to be directed toward the interior of the lot and away from neighboring properties. rticulation requirements for side walls to visually break up the mass on sides of larger homes. imit on driveway width to 25% of lot width. etback for deck, balconies and terraces-3 feet required setback. In all ingle Family Zones limination of the green building option. revision to the esidential Floor rea exemptions to address additional bulk. For more information on the updated ingle Family egulations or BM see link: _ pdf hy propose a Zone Change rdinance to rescind the tudio City F? n May 5, 2017, the City Council adopted a motion (Council File ) rescinding the F designation for all non-hillside single family properties zoned 1 or in tudio City. he motion can be found here: ubsequently, those properties would be regulated by the updated ingle-family egulations, or BM. he updated BM addresses the continued overdevelopment of large homes in single family neighborhoods by providing better protections especially in the 1 zones. he regulations reduce impacts to adjacent properties while protecting the neighborhood character by requiring certain design strategies and limiting increased F rather than incentivizing bigger homes in exchange for bonus options that may not address the mass, scale or bulk of new homes. he updated regulations are more streamlined, easy to understand for property owners, and more effective at regulating impacts. ow does the current ingle Family egulations formerly known as BM compare to the tudio City F U egulations?

F - Under the proposed Zone Change rdinance, the 1 zoned lots will be reduced from a maximum F of (with 4 bonus options elected) to.45 the new citywide standard. he zoned lots will increase from a maximum of to depending on lot size. Bonus ptions In the 1 zone, all bonuses were eliminated in the updated ingle Family egulations whereas up to four bonuses are allowed in the F. In the zoned properties, the ingle Family egulations only allow one bonus option whereas in the F, four bonus options are allowed. ow does the change affect my property? he Zone Change rdinance will not change the base zone of the property. he proposed Zone Change rdinance will simply remove the F designation and the F regulations for the and 1 zones (i.e. 1-1-F-I to 1-1-I). ould this change apply to projects currently in the process of obtaining permits?
