Regional planning efforts look to transform the 51-mile stretch of the Los Angeles River by restoring some of its natural functions for groundwater recharge and habitat. The city wishes to capitalize on its adjacency to the river and opportunities for riverfront development. If regional or subregional plans lead to the envisioned river transformation, the Riverfront Overlay Zone allows for high density residential and introduction of mixed-use commercial development along the river’s edge. Implementation of this overlay is contingent upon validation of a strong market need for those development types along the river. The creation of this overlay zone is intended as a holding zone dependent on pending plans for riverfront transformation. The intent is that the Riverfront Overlay Zone be applied in a comprehensive fashion. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
