Hollywood Community Plan Update

Case Number: ENV-2016-1451-EIR
Council District: 4, 5, 13
State Clearinghouse Number: 2016041093
Community Plan Areas: Hollywood
Project Location: The Hollywood Community Plan Area (CPA) is located within the incorporated City of Los Angeles and contains approximately 13,962 acres or 21.8 square miles. The CPA extends roughly south of the Cities of Burbank and Glendale and the Ventura Freeway (State Highway 134), west of the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5), north of Melrose Avenue and south of Mulholland Drive and the Cities of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, including land south of the City of West Hollywood, and north of Rosewood Avenue, between La Cienega Boulevard and La Brea Avenue.

Final Environmental Impact Report

Project Description: The Proposed Plan would guide development for the Hollywood CPA through 2040 and includes amending both the text (land use policies) and the land use map of the Hollywood Community Plan. The Proposed Plan would also adopt several resolutions and zoning ordinances to implement the updates to the Community Plan, including changes for certain portions of the Hollywood CPA to allow specific uses and changes to development regulations (including height, floor area ratio (FAR), and density). These zoning ordinances would take a number of different forms, including amendments to the Zoning Map for zone and height district changes under Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) Section 12.32, amendments to an existing specific plan (Vermont/Western Transit Oriented District Specific Plan), and development of a Community Plan Implementation Overlay (CPIO) District.

The Hollywood CPIO District Subarea boundaries would generally follow Franklin Avenue to the north, U.S. Route 101 (US-101) to the east, Fountain Avenue to the south and La Brea Avenue to the west. The CPIO District would propose regulatory protections for designated historical resources and pedestrian-oriented design standards in the Hollywood CPA. The CPIO would require that the rehabilitation of designated resources comply with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and restrict applicants from obtaining a demolition permit without an approved replacement project. Also, to ensure consistency between the updated Community Plan and other City plans and ordinances, the Proposed Project includes amendments to the Framework and Mobility Elements of the General Plan, and other elements as necessary.
