The Los Angeles City Council has asked the courts for more time to comply with a state law requiring it to bring its zoning into conformance with its more restrictive community plans. The council also asked its Planning Committee to report in two weeks on a compliance program, including a proposed citywide building moratorium on projects that do not conform to the plans. The action was prompted by a suit brought by homeowners seeking to enforce a state law that went into effect July 1, 1982. City officials hope to come up with a compliance program before the court imposes one.
