The proposed standards are modeled on the existing useab~e p~ivate open space ~equirernents set forth for the NW {North of Wilshire) averlay districts, which is the most recen;ly-adopted such standard. The OP distr~.cts alsa have an open space req~irement.

As recommended by the Commission, affordable housing p~o~ects would ~e able to substitute one square foot of common open space for each square foat of rcquired useable p~ivate open space to create a~r~ore flexible standard. The purpos~ of the text amendment is to create a requix'ement which would tacil~tate the provis~on of pr~vate open space to enhance the quality of life in future deve~opmenL pro~ects, taking advantage of the moderate c?~mate of Santa Monica The requirement is also expectEd to result ~n greater articulat~on af bui?ding design, as well as ~he provision of added landscaiaing The attach~d ordinarlce would also add a definition of '~p~iva~e open space" to the Zoning Ordinarace and in addi~ion, would make a nurnber of non-substantive typographical and wording chan.ges to the sections being rnod~fied.
