The motion the commissioners passed also states that during the city’s homelessness emergency, the LADWP will bear the cost of any public right-of-way power infrastructure upgrades – saving a developer potentially millions of dollars, according to board President Cynthia McClain-Hill.
Other goals of the pilot program are to support developers of 100% affordable housing projects by eliminating the cost to route power to a project site, and to substantially reduce the time it takes to approve a project’s onsite electric service plans.How will Southern California be impacted by the Supreme Court case on homelessness?
