The City will hold a community-wide workshop on Monday, May 7, at
7 p.m., at the Santa Monica Civic Audit-
oriun, which it describes as “the next step in the Land Use and Circulation Elements (LUCE) process.”

Santa Monica’s Planning and Community Development Department
is currently focusing on what it calls “neighborhood outreach and building
consensus on ‘Placemaking’ through a series of community-wide workshops.

Over the last month, the planners held several neighborhood workshops at which what the planners call “Placemaking Principles” were developed. These “endorsements
will be shared with the City Council
and will guide Santa Monica’s development future.”

At the May 7 meeting, planners will explain, in their words, “how your input is coming together with the Land Use and Circulation Element to make Santa Monica a better, more vibrant place to live, work and play.”
