GENERAL PLAN UPDATE 2005
Highlights of General Plan Alternatives
Medium Intensity - Mixed Use Alternative
In this alternative, a mixed use area - which may include office, retail,
residential, commercial, hotel, open space, public facility, research and
development, and light industrial uses - is proposed in the Northeast quadrant
of the City. It also includes an air freight /airport support district.
In the Southeast quadrant, open space and commercial /manufacturinguse
is proposed to increase while the heavy industrial area at corner of Sepulveda and
Rosecrans is to be retained.
To the west of Sepulveda, there is an increase in general commercial uses
along Imperial Avenue and an increase in residential density immediately to the
south. A Downtown Historic District is added to the existing downtown
commercial area.
Mixed Use / Urban Center Alternative
In this alternative a mixed use area is also proposed but at a higher
intensity somewhat approaching that of an urban center or core. Included in this
area would be a hotel /entertainment district and a retail corridor along the LRT
line between Mariposa and El Segundo stations. An increased amount of
residential development in the mixed use area is planned, as well as the
annexation of the unincorporated county area east of El Segundo known as Del
Aire.
