The specific designations and the additional purposes of the
Public and Semi-Public Districts are:
|
CC Civic Center. This Zoning District is intended
to be the cultural and institutional core of Santa Monica, with a
mix of high intensity government and cultural uses with significant
gathering spaces and parks combined with civic buildings and connections
to the beach and Downtown areas. Commercial, retail, office, affordable,
workforce and market-rate housing, and community facilities such as
early childhood centers are also allowed in this mixed-use District.
This District is consistent with the LUCE's Institutional/Public Lands
land use designation.
|
PL Institutional/Public Lands. This Zoning District
is for public or semi-public facilities, including municipal offices,
schools, libraries, museums, or performance spaces, cemeteries, corporation
yards, utility stations, and similar uses. This District is consistent
with the LUCE's Institutional/Public Lands land use designation.
|
OS Parks and Open Space. This Zoning District is
intended to preserve, enhance, and expand Santa Monica's existing
open space, parks, beaches, and recreational areas, providing residents
with easy access to a relaxing, visually appealing amenity that provides
opportunities for healthy recreation. This District is applied to
areas that will remain as parks or green open space, or be developed
as such. Other allowed uses in this designation include supporting
structures such as recreation centers, gymnasiums, community meeting
facilities and small-scale retail uses that support outdoor recreation,
such as restaurants, refreshment stands, or sporting equipment and
rental vendors. This District is consistent with the LUCE's Parks
and Open Space land use designation.
