City of Santa Monica Land Use and Circulation Element

City of Santa Monica Land Use and Circulation Element

Overall, the proposed LUCE would reduce the maximum development potential within the City compared to the level of allowable development under the current development standards contained in the existing 1984 Plan. Compared to today, the modest land use changes allowed under the proposed LUCE could result in a net increase of residential units (emphasizing affordable and workforce housing), retail space, office space, office uses, creative art spaces, medical space (medical office and hospital), hotel space, and ~18.5 acres of additional parks/open space by the proposed LUCE horizon year of 2030.
