ORANGE LINE TRANSIT NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS Strategies

Main Str e e ts - Enhance pedestrian orientation along corridors & increase

  • pportunities for mixed-use development

Place buildings at the sidewalk & provide pedestrian entrances

Require minimum storefront transparency for safety, activation & rhythm

Encourage reuse of older main street buildings through parking exceptions

Mixe d Use Hubs & Cor r idor s - Focus development where it can be sustained, as

long as it provides community benefits

Develop “Base” & “Bonus” system to encourage provision of community benefits

Incorporate metrics from existing design overlays

Create parking setbacks to prevent parking lots along main streets

Jobs Ce nte r s – Preserve existing jobs & accommodate emerging industries

Encourage industrial areas to have clean uses & density of jobs

Address adjacency of commercial & industrial uses abutting residential through use limitations, “good neighbor” policies & landscape buffering or screening

Ne ighbor hoods Cor r idor s – Allow residential & neighborhood uses that foster a

more walkable environment & place more people near transit corridors

Promote “missing middle” housing that provides a diversity of low-scale housing choices, such as townhomes, duplexes, or bungalow courts

Allow limited neighborhood-serving uses, such as daycares or corner stores

Ne ighbor hoods – Reflect & encourage diverse building types & housing options

Encourage the retention of existing rent-stabilized units

Incentivize development of affordable housing through “Base” & “Bonus” system Los Angeles Department of City Planning Overview | Vision | Strategies | Next Steps Neighborhood Corridors Mixed Use Hubs & Corridors Main Streets Main Streets Job Centers Neighborhoods Job Centers Neighborhoods Open Space Mixed Use Hubs & Corridors
