Dear Wilmont Members and Friends,

R1 Development Standards Update – Community Open Houses Reminder

Hello,

As a follow-up to informational postcards that were recently mailed to all R1 (Single Unit-Residential) homeowners, we’d like to remind you of upcoming R1 Development Standards Update community open houses.

The City of Santa Monica is currently in the process of updating its R1 zone district development standards. This process is to address the growing concern of the size of new home construction in relation to the existing neighborhood context and scale, to identify potential options on how to revise current development standards, to incentivize the retention of existing homes, and to make the development standards more user-friendly.

The public is invited to join us at open house events to learn and participate in the R1 development standards update process. There are two more upcoming open house events tomorrow, May 21. If you’d like to attend one, please RSVP at one of the following links:

Each open house is identical and will be located at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium East Wing, 1855 Main Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401.

For more information on the process and upcoming schedule please visit www.smgov.net/Departments/PCD/Plans/R1-Update/. The next public meeting after the open houses will be a Planning Commission meeting tentatively scheduled for June 19, 2019.

If you have any questions, please contact the City Planning Division at (310) 458-8341 or planning@smgov.net

Thank you,

City of Santa Monica City Planning Division
