SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance for First Reading Modifying the R2
and R3 District Boundaries in the North of Wilshire
Neighborhood.
BACKGROUND
On September 18, as part of implementation of the North of
Wilshire rezoning, the Council introduced for adoption a revised
Interim Districting Map. The Interim Districting Map approved by
Council reflects the boundaries for the new R2 and R3 District as
proposed by the North of Wilshire residents.
These boundaries result in the downzoning of some R4 parcels to
R2 in the area bounded by Fourth Court to the west, Seventh
Street to the east Wilshire Boulevard to the south and California
Avenue to the north. It is not clear if the Council intended to
downzone those parcels to R2.
If the Council intended to
downzone all R4 parcels to R3, and all R3 parcels to R2, then
adoption of a revised Interim Districting Map is necessary. If
not, the Interim Districting Map introduced by Council is
appropriate.
A revised Interim Districting Map and Ordinance have been
prepared in the event the Council determines it wanted to change
all R4 to R3 and decides to modify the R3 and R2 District

boundaries. In order to facilitate implementation of the North
of Wilshire development controls in a timely manner, staff
recommends the Council proceed with the second reading of the
original ordinance and map, and if the boundaries are to be
modified, adopt for first reading the revised Interim Districting
Map. This procedure will enable the new zoning to take effect
without delay.
RECOMMENDATION
Should the Council decide to modify the proposed R2 and R3
District boundaries, staff recommends adoption for first reading
the attached ordinance and Interim Districting Map.
