As requested by the City Council, this Office has prepared and now transmits for your consideration the enclosed draft ordinance, approved as to form and legality. The draft ordinance would amend Sections 57.105.6.5, 57.105.7.1.3, 57.4701.2, 57.4701.3, 57.4701.4 and 57.4701.9 of Article 7, Chapter V of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) to require a Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) permit for the temporary use of a building or premise as a place of assemblage; and add Sections 57.4701.11 and 57.4701.12 to require crowd management and medical plans for certain assembly occupancies.
Currently, the temporary use of a building or premise as a place of assemblage requires a permit issued from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (DBS). Although DBS requires the permit applicant to procure approval from the LAFD, there is no specific authority or requirement within the LAMC for formal LAFD approval. The draft ordinance creates a specific requirement within the LAMC for formal LAFD
