Sec. 7A.1.4. ALTERNATE TYPOLOGY NAMING CONVENTION ¶
City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A
Alternate Typology names are composed of two components: a typology category and a variation
number.
A. Typology Category
The first component of each Alternate Typology name is a typology category. Typology categories
group all typologies with similar allowed uses, characteristics, and intent. Typology categories are
organized as follows:
Civic Institution
Corner Store
Small Lot Subdivision
Drive-Through
Fueling Station
Opportunity Corridors
Corridor Transitions
B. Variation Number
The last component of each Alternate Typology name is a variation number. Alternate Typologies
are numbered based on the order in which they were incorporated into this Zoning Code (Chapter
1A).
