Hearing on an appeal of Project No. 2015-01232-(2), including Vesting

Tentative Tract Map No. 073082 (RTM-TR073082) to create one multi-family lot

developed with 88 attached condominium units within one five-story building on

1.84 gross (1.77 net) acres with the Restricted Business - 5,000 Sq Ft Minimum

Lot Size (C-1) Zone; Conditional Use Permit No. 201500052 to authorize a

Hillside Management Area, with two modification requests to exceed the height

limit of 35 feet for a total maximum height of 65 feet, and to reduce the front

yard setback area from 20 to 15 feet. The project is located at 5101 South

Overhill Drive within the unincorporated community of Ladera Heights/View

Park - Windsor Hills within the Westside Planning Area. The project site will be

accessible from two points of ingress/egress along Overhill Drive, and includes

a fire turnaround, 198 vehicular parking spaces, 53 bicycle parking spaces,

pedestrian walkways, an outdoor swimming pool, and community and exercise

rooms. The project also includes 10 dwelling units voluntarily set aside for

Resources, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. Applied for by The Bedford

III. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS 2 - 10

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Extending Price Gouging Protections for Housing

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Effective February 28,

2026 extend for 30 days, through and including March 29, 2026, the protections

of California Penal Code Section 396, subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f), to

limit price-gouging for applicable goods and services and in the housing rental

market, in hotels and motels, and to continue the protections of County Code,

Chapter 8.09, pursuant to Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (g). The Board

finds that this extension is necessary because of complaints of price gouging

which are continuing, and have been increasing, and that such an extension will

protect the lives, property, and/or welfare of the residents of the County.

Authorize a specified price increase of the rental price for housing not rented

and not offered for rent within one year prior to the proclamation or declaration

of emergency as defined in Penal Code Section 396 subdivision (j)(11)(B) as

follows: for the County, increase the rental price formula for such housing from

160% of the fair market rent established by the United States Department of

Housing and Urban Development to 200% to more accurately reflect rental

market conditions in the County. All other provisions of Penal Code Section 396

subdivision (j)(11)(B) shall remain unchanged. (26-1319)

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events Bi-Weekly Emergency

Contracts Report

Recommendation: Review the emergency actions ordered and taken by the

Director of Internal Services, under delegated authority by the Board, acting as

both the County and the Governing Body of various Districts, under Board

Order No. 13-C of January 28, 2025, to respond to and recover from the

January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events, including the Palisades Fire,

Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire, Kenneth Fire, and multiple other fires (LA County Fires)

(1, 3 and 5) and actions enumerated in the aforementioned authorities

(Actions), without giving notice for bids to let contracts, and determine that there

is a need to continue the emergency Actions. Find that there is substantial

evidence that the January 2025 Windstorm and Critical Fire Events continue to

constitute an emergency pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050,

which requires that immediate action be taken to cleanup and reconstruct public

property, buildings, facilities, and infrastructure because the emergency does

not permit the delay resulting from a formal competitive solicitation of bids

and/or proposals to procure construction, materials, equipment and services for

projects and initiatives necessary to respond to and recover from the LA County

Fires. Find that authority should, therefore, continue to be delegated to the

Director of Internal Services to amend or extend and supplement existing

as-needed or on-call contracts without giving notice for bids to let contracts

related to facilities and related support services, and to award new contracts for

response to and recovery from the LA County Fires, and such contracts should

be issued because they are necessary to respond to the emergency. (Internal
