Overview
The East Los Angeles 3rd Specific Plan is intended to guide and spur transit-supportive development around the Metro Gold Line transit stations, as well as stabilize and enhance the adjoining residential neighborhoods. This Plan is the product of the collective efforts and input of the East Los Angeles Planning Advisory Committee (ELAPAC), county staff, neighborhood residents, and business and property owners. The Plan will build upon the substantial public investment and transformative opportunity created by the Gold Line extension into East Los Angeles. New development standards and strategies will be implemented to foster and support a sustainable, transit-supportive, pedestrian-friendly, and economically vibrant community.
The Specific Plan is the first step (Phase I) of a comprehensive update to the East Los Angeles Community Plan, which was adopted in 1988. Phase II will focus on a plan update for the remainder of the East Los Angeles community.

Community Participation
Community involvement is at the heart of the planning process. Participation has included extensive community workshops and the formation of the East Los Angeles Planning Advisory Committee (ELAPAC). The ELAPAC is an advisory committee, which represents each neighborhood in East Los Angeles community. All neighborhood residents, business and property owners, and other stakeholders are welcome and invited to participate in this ongoing planning process.
