City of Redondo Beach Measure ART (Los Angeles County)

What it does

Shall the measure be adopted to amend the Redondo Beach General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to support increased commercial activity in key areas of the City, including expanded property development potential (i.e. new floor area ratio caps, height limits, and rooftop dining) along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards, industrial properties north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, and certain commercial properties along Pacific Coast Highway; and to reduce the allowed housing density for some residential and mixed-use properties in the City?

A YES vote means

Redondo Beach's General Plan and zoning would allow more commercial development (new floor area caps, height limits and rooftop dining) along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards, north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and on parts of Pacific Coast Highway, and would lower allowed housing density on some properties.

A NO vote means

Redondo Beach's General Plan and zoning rules for these areas would not change.

Background

According to the City of Redondo Beach's FAQ, the City Council prepared Measure ART after adopting a comprehensive General Plan Update; the City says commercial and industrial uses are an important part of its tax base but are declining and face pressure to convert to housing under state mandates.

The FAQ says the measure would raise allowed floor area on Artesia and Aviation Boulevards from 0.6 to 1.5 FAR and height from two to three stories, support rooftop dining, and also affect the industrial district north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard and a limited number of other properties; it states the measure does not require additional housing units.

The City's election materials include an argument in favor signed by the Mayor and Council members and an argument against that cites the cost of a special municipal election and questions whether added zoning capacity produces economic development.

Put on the ballot by Redondo Beach City Council, 2026 (resolution date and vote not found in posted records).
