Zoning Ordinance Update Process Begins

Dear NOMA members and friends,

The City has posted its Draft Zoning Ordinance, and the public now has a month to look at it 
before the document begins to undergo public review in hearings
before the Planning Commission and City Council. 

This important document has not been revised since 1988. The finalized version 
will form the basis of development decisions in this city for many years to come. 

An electronic version of the draft is available at this link: http://www.smgov.net/Departments/PCD/Zoning/Zoning-Update/ 
Hard copies are available at all Santa Monica library branches 
and for sale at the Planning Counter in City Hall. 
The schedule of public meetings follows here.
