"Senate Bill 79 increased allowable housing density near major transit stations by requiring local governments to permit more homes within walking distance of rail stations and high-frequency bus corridors. The law sets minimum zoning standards that override local limits, allowing taller buildings and higher unit counts."
"Durazo's legislation currently appears to broadly exempt essentially all past and future L.A. County Metro rail and bus rapid transit stations. However, this final version is still taking shape, according to Metro staff and housing advocates."
Senate Bill 1361, introduced by María Elena Durazo, seeks to exempt Los Angeles Metro from state mandates requiring increased housing density near transit stops. This follows local opposition to Senate Bill 79, which mandated higher density housing near transit. SB 79, effective July 1, sets minimum zoning standards and streamlines project approvals. The current version of SB 1361 is still being finalized, with support from the Metro Board of Directors and ongoing discussions among Metro staff and housing advocates.
