Lincoln Boulvard Community Design Overlay District (CDO)

Public Open House

The Los Angeles City Planning Department invites you to attend both an Open House and a Public Hearing regarding a proposed Community Design Overlay District (CDO) affecting all properties along Lincoln Boulevard between the Santa Monica- Los Angeles city boundary and Maxella Avenue. Please see map on following page.

The Open House will be an opportunity for you to learn about
the process and content of the CDO, review materials, and ask questions of Planning Department Staff. A presentation will begin shortly after 5:00, but you can arrive at anytime to obtain information. At the Public Hearing, you may present formal comments about the proposed CDO, both written and verbal, to a Hearing Officer. The Public Hearing will immediately follow the Open House, at the same location.
A CDO can enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities of an area by imposing design guidelines and standards, applicable to new developments and to alterations of existing buildings. The proposed CDO will address such considerations as storefront design, building orientation, site layout, parking lot placement, landscaping, signage, and will restrict ground floor uses for new developments.

The newest version of the Community Design Overlay text
document, which contains policy details in the form of proposed Guidelines and Standards, will be available from the Planning Department
