Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday issued a new executive order meant to expedite temporary housing for people displaced by the wildfires in the Los Angeles area.

Newsom’s executive order on Jan. 16, the latest issued by the governor in recent days in the wake of the catastrophic fires, is meant to streamline the construction of accessory dwelling units and make it easier to place temporary trailers on a property while a new residence is being built or a damaged one is fixed.

Additionally, the state’s Office of Emergency Services is directed to make fairgrounds available “to assist individuals impacted by the emergency,” the order said. It allows the Office of Emergency Services to immediately notify and utilize the fairgrounds without approval from the fairground board of directors.

And it also suspends fees for mobile home parks for the next three years under the Mobilehome Park Act, Special Occupancy Parks Act and Manufactured Housing Act.

The governor extended a previous order that suspended certain environmental laws to fast-track rebuilding efforts. That order lifted certain permitting and review requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act and the California Coastal Act.

His latest one Thursday also covers new ADUs from certain CEQA and Coastal Act requirements, according to the governor’s office. But they must not exceed 110% of the footprint and height of priorities that were legally established and existed before the fires, the order said.

“As thousands of Los Angeles residents have been faced with sudden displacement, the state is taking decisive action to help provide housing and assistance as quickly as possible,” Newsom said in a statement. “Today, we are expediting the creation of new temporary housing by removing roadblocks and strengthening protections against exploitation.”

When it comes to fast-tracking temporary housing, Newsom’s latest order specifically:

Suspends for up to three years the requirement that a certificate for occupancy for an ADU cannot be issued before one for the primary dwelling. This is only for residential properties that have been “substantially damaged or destroyed as a result of this emergency.”

Suspends for up to three years certain planning and zoning requirements (Government Code sections 65853 through 65863.13) for manufactured and mobile homes, as well as recreational vehicles, in Los Angeles County for those displaced by the fires. This also applies to the owners and operators of mobile home parks, special occupancy parks and other similar facilities.

Supsends in Los Angeles County certain park manager training fees for mobile home parks, manufactured home parks and similar facilities that provide space for people displaced by the emergency.

Instructs the state’s Department of Housing and Community Development to coordinate with local governments to develop construction, operating and permitting standards “to maintain reasonable health and safety standards” for mobile and manufactured homes and recreational vehicles and the mobile home parks, special occupancy parks and other similar facilities.

Newsom’s other executive orders

Thursday’s executive order is just the latest from the governor in recent days that has dealt with how people move forward in the aftermath of the fires.

Aside from suspending CEQA and Coastal Act rules to get a jumpstart on rebuilding homes and other buildings, the governor also suspended rules to allow displaced students to attend public schools outside of their district.

Multiple schools across the Los Angeles region were destroyed or damaged by the fires. And more than 20 districts had to shutter their campuses for at least a few days because of the fires.

That executive order, signed on Jan. 14, also sought to prevent schools from incurring penalties for not meeting minimum school-year attendance and more easily allow damaged or destroyed schools to utilize temporary facilities.

Another executive order is meant to curtail predatory land speculators from taking advantage of firestorm victims. That one makes unsolicited and undervalued offers to purchase property in certain Los Angeles County ZIP codes unlawful for the next three months.

And yet another explicitly permits “high-specialized hazmat teams,” as clean-up work commences, to remove explosive and highly toxic materials as soon as they’ve received the proper safety clearance from emergency officials. FEMA has allocated $100 million for teams from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to do this work, according to the governor’s office.

Newsom’s orders have also taken on price-gouging. The latest one, issued Thursday, prohibits hotel and motel and rental housing price-gouging. It also prohibits landlords from evicting a tenant and then re-letting that unit at a higher price in Los Angeles County.
