Building width is defined as the horizontal dimension of any building or collection of abuttingbuilding or collection of abutting or collection of abuttingabutting buildings s
on a lot.lot..
A. Intent
The intent of the standards of this Section (Building Width) is to promote fine-grained patterns
of development and prevent long buildings that are significantly out of context with traditional
patterns by breaking wide buildings into multiple, clearly distinguished building widths, and to
encourage larger projects to provide open space for pedestrians and recreation.
B. Applicability
Building width standards apply to new construction or an exterior modifcation of any frontage lot
line-facing buildings or structures. When the building width standards apply, the standards only
apply to those portions of a building or structure located above the ground foor elevation.
C. Standards
1. No applicable building or collection of abutting buildings located on the same lot shall be
wider than the maximum building width specified by the applied Form District (Part 2B.) .
2. In order to establish buildings on the same lot as separate buildings for the purpose of
measuring maximum building width, a building break shall be provided between the buildings.
3. Buildings that are located on separate lots, share no interior circulation, and are structurally
independent, are considered separate buildings for the purpose of measuring building width.
4. A building on a corner lot within the build-to zone area of overlap is allowed to exceed the
maximum building width by up to 40 feet along both primary street lot lines and side street lot
lines.

[ FORM - FrONtAGe - StANDArDS ] [ USe - DeNSitY ] Div. 2A.1. (Orientation)

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

there are three different types of naming conventions for Form Districts (Part 2B.) . each Form District name is composed of a variety of components that are specific to that district.

A. Rural & Estate Form Districts

[reserved]

B. House Form Districts

House Form Districts include a range and combination of building coverage, scale, and massing parameters that are intended to produce what is commonly understood as a house. House forms are laid out as detached, or semi-detached, buildings with set-back requirements from the street and lot lines, along with building coverage limitations intended to preserve space for yards and open space. Building widths are narrow, ranging from 50-feet to an upper limit of 100-feet. Building heights are limited by a prescribed number of feet rather than stories, and building scale is further limited by foor area ratio maximums ranging from 0.45 to an upper limit of 1.0. Additional controls are applied to shape upper-story building mass to produce roof forms common on houses.

c. All Other Form Districts

All other Form District names are composed of three components:

1. FAR Category

the first component of each Form District name is a foor area ratio (FAr) category. FAr categories group all districts within a range of maximum allowed FAr. FAr categories are organized as follows:

• a. Very low-rise (>0.6-1.5 FAr)

• b. low-rise (>1.5-4.0 FAr)

• c. Mid-rise (>4.0-6.0 FAr)

• d. Moderate-rise (>6.0-8.5 FAr)

• e. High-rise (>8.5-13.0 FAr)

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

2. Building Width Category

the second component of each Form District name is a building width category. Building width categories group all districts within a range of maximum allowed building width. each building width category is organized as follows:

• a. Narrow (25 feet - 75 feet)

• b. Medium (100 feet - 210 feet)

• c. Broad (280 feet - 490 feet)

• d. Full (no building width maximum)

3. Variation Number

the last component of each Form District is a variation number. All Form Districts are numbered in the order they fall within this Article (Form) .

4. Example Form District

Potential Form District categories are shown below to illustrate the naming convention that would be applied to new Form Districts that may be added to this Article (Form) through future code amendments.

Height in stories is defined as the vertical dimension of a building measured in stories.

A. Intent

1. Maximum height in stories standards are intended to provide adequate light, air, safety, and to protect the character of an area and the interests of the general public. intended to help provide variation in building heights, maximum height in stories standards help ensure that story heights are not reduced to fit within a maximum height in feet.

2. Minimum height in stories standards are intended to provide a method of establishing a minimum level of intensity on a lot, and ensure that lots are not underdeveloped.

B. Applicability

1. Maximum height in stories standards apply to new construction or an exterior modifcation on a lot where the applied Form District (Part 2B.) specifies a maximum height in stories standard.

2. Minimum height in stories standards apply to new construction or an exterior modifcation on a lot where the applied Form District (Part 2B.) specifies a minimum height in stories standard.

c. Standards

1. Maximum Height in Stories

• a. Buildings and structures shall not exceed the "Height in stories (max)” specified in the applied Form District (Part 2B.) .

• b. When height in stories is further specified by “Maximum”, buildings and structures shall not exceed the Maximum height in stories. When “None” is indicated, there is no limitation to building and structure height except if a minimum story height is required.

2. Minimum Height in Stories

• a. When height in stories is further specified by “Minimum”, portions of a building and structure shall be built to the minimum height in stories specified, as follows:

  • i. Only those portions of the building fulfilling the build-to width standard in the applicable Frontage District (Part 3B.) are required to be built to the minimum height in stories.

  • ii. each portion of building width used to meet the minimum build-to width standard specified by the applied Frontage District (Part 3B.) shall contain foor area for a depth no less than 15 feet on every story above the ground foor elevation up to the minimum height in stories specified by the applied Form District (Part 2B.)

DiV. 2c.5. BUILDING MASS

Building width is defined as the horizontal dimension of any building or collection of abutting buildings on a lot.

A. Intent

the intent of the standards of this Section (Building Width) is to promote fine-grained patterns of development and prevent long buildings that are significantly out of context with traditional patterns by breaking wide buildings into multiple, clearly distinguished building widths, and to encourage larger projects to provide open space for pedestrians and recreation.

B. Applicability

Building width standards apply to new construction or an exterior modifcation of any frontage lot line-facing buildings or structures. When the building width standards apply, the standards only apply to those portions of a building or structure located above the ground foor elevation.

c. Standards

1. General

• a. No applicable building or collection of abutting buildings located on the same lot shall be wider than the maximum building width specified by the applied Form District (Part 2B.) .

• b. in order to establish buildings on the same lot as separate buildings for the purpose of measuring maximum building width, a building break shall be provided between the buildings.

• c. Buildings that are located on separate lots, share no interior circulation, and are structurally independent, are considered separate buildings for the purpose of measuring building width.

• d. A building on a corner lot within the build-to zone area of overlap is allowed to exceed the maximum building width by up to 40 feet along both primary street lot lines and side street lot lines.

• e. All applicable buildings and collections of abutting buildings located on the same lot shall be separated by at least the minimum building break dimension for the full depth of the building in order to establish them as separate buildings for the purpose of measuring building width.

• f. No building or structure shall encroach into the building break, except where allowed in Subsection E. (Exceptions) below.

Sec. 2c.6.1. STREET STEP-BACK

Street step-back is a step-like recess in the massing of a building that requires upper stories to be pushed back from the lower stories from the street.

A. Intent

the intent of the standards of this Section (Street Step-Back) is to reduce the perceived bulk and mass of a building along facades facing public ways, ensuring a height along the street that is appropriate to its neighboring context, while allowing for additional building height.

B. Applicability

Street step-back standards apply to new construction, a major remodel, or a facade modifcation of buildings or structures on a lot that face a frontage lot line.

c. Standards

the following standards shall be met for a minimum of 85 percent of the building width:

1. When the applied Form District (Part 2B.) specifies a maximum number of stories without a step-back, all stories above that maximum shall be stepped back from the street-facing facade by at least the minimum street step-back depth, as specified by the applied Form District (Part 2B.) .

2. No building or structure shall extend into a minimum street step-back depth, except where allowed in Subsection E. (Exceptions) below.

3. Buildings having a height less than the maximum stories without street step-back are not required to provide a street step-back.
