  Councilmember Mike Bonin requests that the Los Angeles City Planning Department develop tailored Baseline Mansionization Ordinance (BMO) and Baseline Hillside Ordinance (BHO) regulations specifically for Pacific Palisades, arguing that the proposed citywide amendments do not account for the community's existing development patterns and neighborhood characteristics. He contends that Pacific Palisades neighborhoods are satisfied with current regulations and should not be subject to the same restrictions being applied citywide.
