City of La Cañada Flintridge Zoning Code Update
The City of La Cañada Flintridge (City) initiated a comprehensive update to the Zoning Code (Title 11) of the La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code (LCFMC) in the autumn of 2014, after the update of the General Plan was adopted (January 2013). The City adopted Los Angeles County’s zoning ordinance in 1974 after the City’s incorporation, and it never has been comprehensively updated.
When the update process was initiated, several workshops were held to solicit early direction, including two public workshops with a Code User’s Group and one with a Mayor’s Committee. Additionally, the Planning Commission has held four public workshops between November 8, 2016 and April 11, 2017 to discuss and provide direction regarding several key policy issues and review draft language proposed by Staff. The Planning Commission’s direction regarding the topics discussed have been incorporated into the draft updated Zoning Code. Additional opportunities for public input regarding the Public Review Draft will be provided as the review process moves forward.
