Division 3B.2 — MULTI-UNIT FRONTAGE DISTRICTS

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

Multi-Unit Frontages require higher ground foor elevationl, low transparency, and frequent entrance spacing. This

allows for greater privacy for tenants located on the ground story while retaining an interplay between the private and

public realms. Frequent entrances activate the public realm with pedestrian activity and visual interest.
