Meeting Summary

What Happened

The council met on May 13, 2025, with 12-14 members present. Council Member Eunisses Hernandez introduced two environmental-justice motions adopted without opposition: Item 7 (CF 24-1521) directing a formal clearance process, coordinated with county, state, and federal agencies including the Department of Toxic Substances Control, before permits are issued on contaminated "brownfield" sites, updating city databases such as ZIMAS to identify these sites, and triggering environmental review earlier in the entitlement process; and Item 8 (CF 21-1395-S1), directing a report on regulating redevelopment on and around the more than 5,000 active, idle, and abandoned oil wells across the city that Hernandez said put over 1.7 million residents at risk of methane leaks, benzene exposure, and oil spills, including land-use and remediation standards and enforcement-gap analysis. Council Member Curren Price recused himself from Items 2 and 3 due to a potential conflict through his wife's employer.

Land use requirements for remediation on residential and commercial properties. Identify accomplishments, challenges, and opportunities for improvement in the City's regulation of oil well site redevelopment. Recommendations on how to improve development standards to ensure developers fully locate any oil wells on a property. Analysis of all environmental reviews for development that occurs on or in close-proximity to active, idle, plugged and/or abandoned oil wells and recommendations to ensure these locations have adequate reviews before development occurs. Gather summaries of all existing methane mitigation requirements and all well abandonment standards from LADBS and LAFD and describe recommendations for additional City enforcement actions for when methane emissions leaks occur at these oil well sites. Research and determine the feasibility for design regulations and development standards for new construction in proximity to active, idle, plugged and/or abandoned oil wells. The research and feasibility of the design regulations and development standards should include a discussion with regards to: new residential development near active oil well facilities including specific design standards to minimize exposure to any active oil well site operations (e.g. landscaping screening, enhanced air quality filter requirement). Research and determine the feasibility of a potential process to require ongoing methane gas monitoring for new multi-family residential buildings developed on oil well properties following a Certificate of Occupancy for the development. This would also include the feasibility of requiring quarterly reports by the property owner related to methane alarm activity and methane gas measurements for the multi-family development. Develop a Citywide oil well advisory notice embedded in ZIMAS and establish appropriate distance regulatory controls to guide development in close proximity to active, idle, plugged and/or abandoned oil wells. The notice should include a description of the potential safety, environmental, and public health risks associated with redevelopment on or adjacent to oil well sites, potential design and constructions standards for when an oil well site is redeveloped, and a list of responsible agencies to contact in case of oil well nuisance concerns. Create accountability measures for developers and property owners to ensure developments protect the health and safety of future and current occupants, and surrounding neighbors; and place owners and operators who are not in compliance with any existing and newly developed land use regulatory controls on a Monitoring Plan.

Recommendations creating a Citywide standard procedure to report new discoveries of historic and buried oil wells, to the California Geological Energy Management Division (CAL GEM). Create recommendations to integrate community input and expertise on site history that may not be captured by existing Cortese List databases (e.g. Department of Toxic EnviroStor or other databases), including but not limited to community meetings and listening sessions for new development. Develop a process to inform local constituents and community residents about oil spills in their neighborhoods that are commercially feasible in existing oilfield practices. Report back on the impact of the most recent Local and State streamlining efforts implemented to expedite the development of housing (e.g. Executive Directive 1, State Density Bonus, Citywide Housing Incentive Program) in close proximity to active, idle, plugged and/or abandoned oil wells.
