Share your thoughts about your neighborhood. Through the month of February, everyone who posts an original neighborhood photo with a comment to MapIt will be entered into a random drawing to win a re:code LA prize!
Zoning is part of the story behind many of our everyday experiences: that vast, unshaded parking lot you had to cross from the sidewalk to the store entrance, the convenient bicycle parking space waiting for you, or that new building with solar panels down the street. MapIt creates a first-hand look at where zoning is and isn’t working in neighborhoods across the City. Share a photo and tell us what you like or don’t like about where you live, work or visit.
Join the conversation as re:code LA moves forward. Share your own observations from any web-enabled phone, tablet, or computer and watch the interactive map update. Log onto re:code.la to get started. Don’t forget to spread the word!
Join us in creating livable communities, encouraging sustainable development, and fostering economic vitality.
The City of Los Angeles is embarking on re:code LA, the first comprehensive revision of its Zoning Code in 67 years. Modernizing and streamlining the antiquated Code is a key component of the City’s Development Reform Strategic Plan and is one of the Department of City Planning’s (DCP) priority projects. DCP is seeking applications from local leaders and stakeholders to participate in a Zoning Advisory Committee (ZAC), a policy-oriented body formed specifically to advise DCP on the code rewrite on this critical multi-year effort.
The ZAC will be composed of individuals representing a variety of stakeholder interests. Extra selection consideration will be given to applicants representing more than one stakeholder group. Individuals seeking to represent groups or organizations will need to submit a letter of support, on letterhead, for each listed. Each group or organization may choose to support multiple individuals, but will need to do so in writing. Stakeholder representation may include the following groups:
ZAC members are strongly encouraged to supply their own digital tablet or laptop computer, as documents and material will be delivered digitally in order to minimize the use of paper.
The 15 to 17 individuals selected for this committee will play key roles in advising the City and consultant staff on zoning policy direction and provide guidance during the development of the new Zoning Code. Members of the ZAC will be announced by November 2013 and are expected to meet regularly (e.g., monthly or bi-monthly) until project completion in 2017. Please keep in mind that we will not be allowing proxy representation. A proxy is a person who is designated by another to represent that individual at a meeting.
Sections of the new Code to be discussed include, but will not be limited to:
The DCP will deliver all sections of the new Zoning Code to the City Planning Commission by December 2017. However, a Unified Downtown Development Code is scheduled to be delivered to the City Planning Commission within two years in 2015. In order to guarantee continuity, all ZAC applicants are asked to consider this as a 5-year commitment.

Mobility Element Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and scoping meetings
The City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning will be preparing an EIR for the Mobility Element Update. We have prepared a Notice of Preparation (NOP), which was released to the public today and is available to download (you can also open the attached files). As outlined in the NOP, the EIR will address air quality, acquisitions and displacement, land use and planning, noise and vibration, safety and security, and traffic and parking. The public comment period begins April 4, 2013 and will close on May 6, 2013.
We will be hosting two scoping meetings (in the Valley and Central City) that will include a brief presentation of the projects to be addressed in the EIR as well as an open house format during which the public can provide comments. The scoping meetings are an opportunity for the public to provide input on questions it would like to see answered in the EIR. We encourage community members to identify what should be analyzed in the EIR, but remember to provide comments on the scope, content, and specificity of the report.

We had a very informative guest speaker visit the MINC Stakeholder meeting on Monday night. He brought along a packet with a lot of information in it, and we requested that he send it along electronically, so that we could send it out to all of our stakeholders who weren’t present. See the information below – and please click on the link to sign their petition, and also to get further information.
The EDI builds on national best practices applied to the City’s unique concerns, invests existing City resources for start-up operations and positions the City for future business growth and job creation. This meeting is intended to present an overview of the new EDI, respond to questions regarding the City’s economic development process, and discuss how Neighborhood Councils can participate.
For more information on the EDI, visit CAO.LACity.org/OEA to access “Economic Development in Los Angeles: A New Approach for a World Class City.” To RSVP (necessary for parking):The City Planning Unit is holding several community meetings to discuss the Mayor’s proposed 2013-2017 Consolidated Plan and 39th Program Year Action Plan.
