Document Description
The Proposed Plans include amending both the text (Policy Documents) and the General Plan Land Use Maps for the Harbor Gateway and Wilmington-Harbor City Community Plans. The Proposed Plans would also adopt several zoning ordinances to implement the updates to the Community Plans, including rezoning all parcels in the CPAs to regulate specific uses and apply development standards (includ'ing height of structures, Floor Area Ratios, and site configuration) using the New Zoning Code. The amendments to the Policy Documents and the General Plan Land Use Maps for the Harbor LA Community Plans are intended to guide development through the year 2040 by establishing the City's broad planning goals, policies, and objectives, the arrangement of land uses and intensities, as well as specific development standards for the Harbor LA CPAs. The Proposed Plans are intended to improve the link between land use and transportation in a manner that is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan Framework Element, Mobility Element, Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) and other state laws. In addition, the Harbor LA Community Plans consider incompatible land use patterns and environmental justice issues, consistent with Senate Bill 1000 (SB 1000).
The Harbor LA Community Plans consist of the boundaries of the Harbor Gateway Community Plan Area (CPA) and the Wilmington-Harbor City CPA. The two community plans are collectively known as the Harbor LA Plans. The plan areas are geographically continuous of one another. The combined area of the Hamor LA Community Plans is approximately 15.3 square miles. The Harbor Gateway CPA contains approximately 3,229 acres and is situated in the southern portion of Los Angeles. The CPA is a narrow corridor which links the City's harbor, San Pedro, Wilmington, and Harbor City communities to the main body of the City. The Harbor Gateway CPA is bordered by the South and Southeast Los Angeles CPAs to the north (al 120th Street); the cities of Gardena and Torrance to the west; and Carson and unincorporated Los Angeles County to the east; and it shares a common boundary with the Wilmington-Harbor City CPA to the south (at Sepulveda Blvd). The Wilmington-Harbor City CPA contains approximately 6.481 acres and is situated in the far southern portion of the City, near Los Angeles Harbor. It is bordered by the Harbor Gateway CPA to the north; the San Pedro
CPA and the Port of Los Angeles to the south; and is adjacent to the cities of Torrance, Lomita, am:l Rancho Palos Verdes to the west; and the cities of Carson, Long Beach, and unincorpcrated Los Angeles County to the east,
