Recent Update: Change to the Southwest Valley Community Plan Update Program and the Ventura-Cahuenga Boulevard Specific Plan Amendment Program

Los Angeles City Planning (LACP) recently announced that in order to support the post-pandemic recovery of Ventura Boulevard, the Ventura-Cahuenga Specific Plan Amendment Unit will focus on issues of immediate concern to businesses and stakeholders along the Corridor. This includes streamlining signage clearances, modernizing Project Impact Assessment (PIA) fee expenditures, and improving mobility along the Corridor, in order to ensure that businesses get the help they need. This team will be hosting virtual outreach events on the latest proposals on October 27, November 2 and November 4, more information available online here.

For this reason, LACP will address the implementation of the New Zoning Code program to the Ventura-Cahuenga Specific Plan Amendment as part of the Southwest Valley Community Plan Update. This approach will use the City’s resources more effectively and support community-by-community zoning that respects each neighborhood’s priorities. This program change provides an opportunity to take a holistic approach to land use planning around the Ventura Boulevard corridor. The Community Plans seek to plan land use around incoming infrastructure, respond to changing market conditions and demographic projections, and create opportunities for housing and employment. Including Ventura Boulevard in this effort is a logical step to create an integrated land use plan that reflects a collective vision for the South Valley.

In response to this program change, the Southwest Valley Community Plan Updates Unit plans to conduct outreach in early 2022, which would provide updates to the Proposed General Plan Land Use Map we released in December 2020. We will be in touch in the near future with more information regarding future engagement opportunities for the Southwest Valley Community Plans Update, which includes updates to the Canoga Park - Winnetka - Woodland Hills - West Hills, Encino - Tarzana, and Reseda - West Van Nuys Community Plan Areas.
