Alternate Typologies | Article 7 Div. 7A.1. (Orientation)

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:

1. civic institution

2. corner Store

3. Small lot Subdivision

4. Drive-through

5. Fueling Station

6. Opportunity corridors

7. 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).

| 7-8

Sec. 7A.1.4. (Alternate Typology Naming Convention) Last amended by Ord. 188,478 (Resolution), Eff. 06/18/2025

Alternate Typologies | Article 7 Div. 7A.2. (General Rules)

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

Div. 7A.2. GENERAL RULES

there are certain cases where the desired physical form for a specific type of development is prohibited by the zoning applied to a lot. in those cases, Alternate typologies provide an option to override specific standards in the underlying zoning that may otherwise prohibit the desired form. in exchange for providing greater flexibility on particular standards, Alternate typologies require adherence to other standards that promote the desired form and ensure that projects are contextually appropriate.

Sec. 7A.2.1. (Alternate Typologies Intent) Established by Ord. 188,418, Eff. 01/20/2025, Oper. 01/27/2025

Alternate Typologies | Article 7 Div. 7A.2. (General Rules)

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

A. Eligibility

Alternate typologies are only allowed in eligible districts. each Alternate typology provides an eligibility table that lists all zoning districts where the Alternate typology is allowed. Any lot within one of the eligible zoning districts may use the Alternate typology. When an eligible district is listed with "", all variations of the district are eligible (for example, rN includes rN1, rN2 and any other rN variation).

FORM FRONTAGE STANDARD USE DENSITY

B. Project Activities

1. Alternate typology standards apply to project activities as shown in the applicability statements of each Section in Part 2C. (Form Rules) , Part 3C. (General Frontage Rules) , Part 3D. (Character Frontage Rules) , Part 4C. (Development Standards Rules) , Part 5C. (Use Rules) , and Part 6C. (Density Rules) . More than one project activity may apply to a project (for example, an exterior modifcation may also include a use modifcation).

2. Project applicability may also be modified by Article 12. (Nonconformities) .

3. Project activities are defined in Sec. 14.2.15. (Project Activities) .

• c. Applicable Components of Buildings & Lots

  1. Alternate typology regulations apply to all portions of a lot.

  2. Alternate typology regulations apply to all portions of buildings and structures on a lot.

  3. Specific Alternate typology regulations may further limit which components of buildings and lots are required to comply with the rules in Part 7C. (Alternate Typology Rules) .

D. Nonconformities

1. Article 12. (Nonconformities) provides relief from the requirements of Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) for existing lots, site improvements, buildings, structures, and uses that conformed to the zoning regulations at the time they were established, but do not conform to current district standards or use permissions. No proposed project activity using an Alternate typology may decrease the conformance with any Form, Frontage, Development, Use, or Density standard in Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) , unless otherwise specified in Div. 12.2. (Form Exceptions) , Div. 12.3. (Frontage Exceptions) , Div. 12.4. (Development Standards Exceptions) , Div. 12.5.
