The Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning has announced that community and municipality members of East Los Angeles have nearly completed work on an updated East Los Angeles Specific Plan. The plan will incorporate a form-based code to guide new developments. A part of this plan includes the East Los Angeles Community Standards District (CSD) Update project.
Part of the Los Angeles County Zoning Ordinance, the East Los Angeles CSD is a set of supplemental zoning regulations developed especially for East Los Angeles. The proposed CSD update will clarify and introduce new regulations and standards for commercial development including signage requirements.
The regional planning department will conduct an open house to brief the community on the project on June 12, 2014. There are two public hearings also scheduled to consider the adoption of the CSD Update. The first public hearing will be conducted by the Regional Planning Commission on July 23, 2014. A second public hearing will take place before the Board of Supervisors on August 2014.
SGIA will continue to track the progress of this initiative.
