Los Angeles is experiencing a loss of inventory with Industrial land due to adaptive reuse and property conversion. The primary factors behind the conversions are
inconsistent land use regulations and a strong market
demand for residential property. In an effort to streamline land use regulation,
the city will create a new zoning code. In conjunction with the zoning update,
the purpose of this project will be to develop a form-based code for the Los
Angeles Arts District. The new land use regulation will explore methods to
preserve job producing industrial space and accommodate the growing
residential market in the area. Data for this study was collected and presented
as a site analysis. The study also includes a literature review that examines
the history of land use regulation in Europe and the United States. The site
analysis for the Arts District includes an investigation of circulation patterns,
economic factors, development profile, community input, and review of
planning documents. Research includes a chronological investigation of the
Arts District’s history, land use policies, and regulations. The study indicates
that the Arts District, though primarily industrial, contains multiple residential
nodes. Additionally, it reveals that industrial jobs and building stock are at risk
from new development. The purpose of The Arts District Form-Based Code,
as the new land use regulation, is to create a predicable development pattern
that improves the quality of the built environment.
