In December 2004 the City of Los Angeles implemented the Small Lot Ordinance as a way to provide a new type of housing for Los Angeles. Small Lot Subdivision offers the following benefits to both the developer and the future buyer/owner:

• Lower liability for the developer - no Home Owners' Association
  
• Fee simple home ownership at a lower cost
  
• Lower developer insurance rates vs. condo construction
• Future owners can modify the home without HOA issues
• Ability to develop feasible projects on RD 1.5, RD2, & R2 Lots. They also work on C zoned properties.
• Higher sale price and better product than condos.
