Los Angeles City Council's planning committee has now instructed the city attorney to draft a change in the definition of what constitutes ‘live/work'. The change, which will shift the focus towards the ‘live' side, is designed to bring the ordnance more in line with how the units are actually used, as well as help promote economic activity in a difficult economic climate. Up to now the designation has been two thirds commercial and one third residential, based on the formula for artist in residence units.
