Join PlaceWorks Principal Alan Loomis in a walking tour of Downtown Artesia. Alan Loomis, AICP is an urban designer, planner and educator practicing in the Los Angeles area. He is based in the PlaceWork’s Los Angeles office.

The tour will cover the proposed Artesia Downtown Specific Plan, that is to be considered by the Planning Commission on June 17th, with City Council consideration in July. The Specific Plan would implement new land use, zoning, and development standards to guide the scale of future development and growth in Artesia’s Downtown district as the City prepares for the planned expansion of a new Metro light rail line (referred to as the Southeast Gateway Line) that will connect southeastern Los Angeles County communities, including Artesia, to Downtown Los Angeles.
