Florence-Firestone Community Plan

---

Expanding on efforts made by the Florence-Firestone Community Enhancement Team (community/county partnership) to improve the provision of County Services to the unincorporated community of Florence-Firestone, the Los Angeles County Department of Regional Planning launched the Florence-Firestone Visioning Project in early 2009. Through a series of public workshops, a vision document and poster were produced by and for participants from Florence-Firestone. The vision document and poster are broad in scope and focus on long-term goals for the community related to land-use, transportation and economic revitalization. The project was funded by SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) through the Compass Blueprint Demonstration Project Grant. Matt Raimi from Raimi + Associates was the lead consultant on the project. To view the Vision Plan and Poster Plan please see the documents section, below.

Building on the community Vision, in 2010 DRP will conduct land use and sustainability, transportation, and retail and industrial market analyses and will launch the development of a Community Plan. The technical analyses are being supported by the SCAG Compass Blueprint Program and URS is the project consultant. With this technical analysis and the community vision complete, the next step in the project will be to create a Community Plan based on the community vision and additional community outreach.

Community participation is at the heart of the planning process. Residents, business owners and other stakeholders are invited to share their ideas regarding the future of Florence-Firestone at community workshops and events. The ideas, concerns and priorities voiced by participants will help shape many long-term and some short-term outcomes within the community. To receive notification of upcoming community events, please contact the Community Studies I Section at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
