City Planning Recognizes LA Fashion District as
Mixed-Use Neighborhood


 
At the CCA Housing, Land Use and Development Committee this week Kent Smith, Fashion District BID Executive Director, heard from City Planning regarding the Downtown Community Plan Update and re:code LA. City Planning will have draft community plans for comment later this year.

 

The good news is that City Planning is recognizing the fact that the LA Fashion District is becoming a mixed-use neighborhood. Therefore, it will be identifying new zones to promote Fashion District development. re:code LA seeks to update the City's zoning code to facilitate clarity in the development process. This effort will launch a web code system that will be accessible via mobile device.
