In line with the Department’s and the Mayor’s goals to streamline the development review process and elevate the design quality of our City’s public realm, the Urban Design Studio is seeking to update the Citywide Design Guidelines so design quality will become a core value of the City’s built environment. The updated Citywide Design Guidelines will draw on and go beyond the principles of local policies, community plans and the re:codeLA , by addressing the ways that architectural, landscape and urban design can meet people’s varying needs. Through the conscientious integration of design strategies into projects of all scales, design professionals can realize buildings and neighborhoods that seamlessly integrate more healthy and pedestrian- friendly living with attention to design excellence and climate adaptation.
