Transit-Oriented Development Alternative Plan and Overlay Zone (SB 79), Scenario 3

Description

The council picked Scenario 3 — the La Cienega 'gateway' plan — to implement SB 79, moving half the state-mandated density off single-family parcels and onto mixed-use sites near the La Cienega station, with the resolution adopted 5-0 and the ordinance introduced 5-0. The plan now goes to the state housing department for review.

Impact summary

Single-family sites in the quarter mile get their density cut in half (120 to 60 units per acre) but can still see 75-foot multifamily buildings next door; the La Cienega corridor gets concentrated growth of up to 17,678 new potential units citywide.
