Rolling out the LUCE is a collaborative effort between the City and the Santa Monica community. The outreach model that was developed during the LUCE process continues to actively engage thousands of citizens on a variety of topics associated with quality of life, management of growth, circulation and the health of our City.

On July 6th, 2010, after a lively and thought-provoking series of 7 Planning Commission and 5 City Council meetings, Santa Monica took a giant leap forward with the adoption of the much anticipated Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE). Reflecting the involvement of thousands of people and community organizations, the final LUCE preserves the City’s unique identity and neighborhood quality of life and celebrates the natural beauty of our beaches and parklands. It also creates walkable transit villages with creative arts and housing near the future Expo Light Rail stations and expands the range of community benefits. The strategy is balanced to ensure a continued stable, diverse and healthy economy to support emergency, social, cultural, and human services. With the LUCE vision in place, the City will begin important next steps to bring tangible results to life. This includes community-based planning efforts for the Downtown and Civic Center area, Bergamot Station, Memorial Park and implementation of neighborhood conservation and historic preservation strategies. Consistent with LUCE process, each step will be undertaken in collaboration with the Santa Monica community whose energy, passion and vision for a sustainable future are indelibly woven into the tapestry of ideas contained within the final LUCE.
