Q: What is different between the Draft EIS/EIR and the Final EIS/EIR?

A: Generally, the Final EIS/EIR includes responses to questions, comments, and concerns submitted to Metro during the initial or recirculated comment period.

Proposed Westlake Design Guidelines

Introduction

The City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Community Redevelopment Agency are interested in developing design guidelines that would affect properties and buildings along Venice, Pico, 7th Street, 6th Street and Wilshire Boulevard between Hoover Street and the 110 Freeway and along Alvarado Street between Hoover and Temple Street.

Design guidelines can enhance the visual and aesthetic qualities of an area by introducing standards that are applicable to new buildings as well as to alterations of existing buildings. The proposed design guidelines could address storefront design, building orientation, site layout, parking lot placement, streetscape, landscaping and signage. Guidelines in this area can enhance the pedestrian environment and ensure that projects are compatible with the adjoining historic Pico Union neighborhood and with those portions traversing the Central City West Specific Plan.

Public Process & Input

The Department of City Planning will hold workshops to discuss concepts for new design guidelines for these areas on April 7 and 9, 2011. The participation of local residents, business owners, and any stakeholders is highly valued. Based on this public process, a draft set of design guidelines and proposed standards will be prepared and will be made available for future review and comment before they are permanently adopted. We hope you will consider partici- pating in this exciting endeavor!
