PORT OF LOS ANGELES STREAMLINES FORMS AND PERMITS PROCESS
Permits Used for Events and Development Updated and Available Online
SAN PEDRO, Calif. — April 17, 2014 — The Port of Los Angeles has updated its permitting process, which formerly had been known as an Application for Discretionary Projects. The new process has a new name – the Application for Port Permits (APP). The APP will be used to initiate the internal review process for all projects leading to the issuance of permits.
A project is defined as any event, activity, development, or work of construction within the Harbor Department property. These changes are intended to streamline the application process for Development and Non-Development Projects.
Key changes include:
- Customers will use the new APP forms.
- Checklists for Development and Non-Development Projects have been created. The checklists include additional information the Applicant must submit with their APP.
- Detailed instructions about the APP process.
Questions related to the forms and permits should be directed to Derek Jordan at 310-732-3871 or emailed to developmentpermits@portla.org.
