General provisions
769 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
Table LASP-2 identifies the uses of land allowed... Projects that include residential dwelling units shall not exceed the allowable dwelling units per acre (du/ac) per Figure LASP-5.
The sale of alcohol is conditionally permitted only as an accessory use to the following primary uses where permitted. On-site consumption: Accessory use to a restaurant or alcohol beverage manufacturing... Off-site consumption: Accessory use to retail food sales in commercial spaces >15,000 square feet; floor space for alcohol shall be no more than 5 percent of the total floor area.
For all non-residential uses with a gross floor area of 25,000 square feet or greater, a Conditional Use Permit shall be required per Section 17.61.050.J.2.
Prohibited Uses: Those uses not listed in Table LASP-2 are prohibited by this Specific Plan... Drive-throughs associated with any use are prohibited.
Projects shall provide sidewalks that meet the required widths per Figure LASP-2. Where the existing sidewalk right-of-way is less than the required width, the difference shall be provided through a private property dedication.
In LA-RM-16, parkway length shall be no less than 60 percent of street frontage... In all other zoning districts, parkway length shall be no less than 30 percent of street frontage.
A minimum of 80 percent of the total required parkway area for a given project shall be comprised of plant material.
Street trees shall be planted at a spacing of one per 30 feet.
Each street tree shall be provided with an uncompacted root zone volume of 800 cubic feet minimum. The root zone volume depth shall be 2 feet minimum and 3 feet maximum.
Residential units on the ground floor shall have a minimum setback of 5 feet. Where elevated between 4 and 6 feet above sidewalk elevation, a minimum setback of 8 feet shall be required.
Buildings utilizing a height concession per Section 17.43 shall provide a minimum stepback depth of 10 feet by a height of 36 feet along street frontages.
In all zones except LA-RM-16, projects shall not be located within the encroachment plane sloping upward and inward at a 45-degree angle measured from the vertical, commencing 15 feet above the existing grade along the shared property line.
In LA-RM-16, projects shall step back a minimum of 15 feet at the second story and 50 feet at the third story, measured from the shared property line.
Projects sharing a property line with a designated historic resource are subject to the following modified standards... The minimum interior setback shall be equal to that of the historic resource or 15 feet, whichever is less.
In mixed-use districts, street-facing façades shall not exceed 150 feet in length unless there is a minimum break of 10 percent of the building length or 20 feet, whichever is greater.
Each street-facing façade exceeding 50 feet in length shall modulate a minimum of 25 percent of the area above the ground floor between 2 feet and 12 feet in depth from the primary façade plane.
Buildings facing Lincoln Avenue shall have a minimum ground floor height of 15 feet, measured from the sidewalk elevation to second-story floor or roof of a one-story building.
Commercial uses shall have an average interior depth of at least 35 feet and a minimum depth of 20 feet, measured wall-to-wall.
In LA-CG, entrances shall be recessed a minimum of 30 inches from the ground floor building façade along Lincoln Avenue. On other streets, entrances shall be recessed a minimum of 30 inches from the sidewalk line.
Windows shall be recessed by a minimum of 3 inches from the façade, measured from the outside wall to the frame of the window.
