Issues discussed will be adaptive reuse ordinance, urban design guidelines, TFAR (transfer of air rights), commercial adaptive reuse, historic preservation including tools such as Mills Act and facade easements and sign districts. Major projects underway include LA Live, Bringing Back Broadway, Grand Ave Project. Parks projects include Civic Center Park, Parks master plan, Park 101 Freeway Cap Park and LA River Master Plan. Transportation projects moving forward include the regional connector, Gold Line extension, Expo Line, downtown streetcar and High speed bullet train.
