Document Description
The proposed project would implement new land use, zoning, and development standards to guide the scale of future development and growth in Artesia's Downtown district as the City prepares for the planned expansion of a new Metro light rail line (referred to as the Southeast Gateway Line) that will connect southeastern Los Angeles County communities, including Artesia, to Downtown Los Angeles. The Final EIR for the Metro light rail line extension was certified April 2024. The new Metro light rail line extension is anticipated to connect to Pioneer Boulevard in 2035. While the Proposed Project does not include specific development projects at this time, the Artesia Downtown Specific Plan would establish goals and objectives, development standards, and implementation actions associated with land use, mobility, and infrastructure and establish a transit-oriented plan that would provide new opportunities for housing, retail/commercial, and entertainment uses in Artesia’s Downtown district. The proposed project would establish the necessary plans, development standards, regulations, infrastructure requirements, and implementation programs on which subsequent project-related development activities in the Specific Plan area would be based.
