SCAG Sustainability Honorable Mention Award (Plan, Policy, and Programs category); APA Housing and Community Development Award for Housing Innovation; APA Los Angeles Chapter - Award of Merit for the Daniel Burnham - Comprehensive Plan; APA California Chapter - Award of Merit for the Daniel Burnham - Comprehensive Plan

Description

Nestled in the heart of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, Culver City has established itself as a vibrant community with a high quality of life, easy access to transit, and healthy neighborhoods. Culver City’s commitment to transit oriented development and sustainability have also been heralded across the region. While the city's ongoing economic revitalization has contributed to a strong job market, it has also exerted significant pressure on the housing market and put a strain on local transportation infrastructure.

 

For these reasons, Raimi + Associates helped the City prepare a comprehensive update of Culver City's General Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report. In addition to the nine topics mandated by the State, the General Plan Update touches on additional themes such as Economic Development, Health and Equity, Arts and Culture, and Sustainability and Climate Change. Throughout the process, Raimi + Associates supported City staff and residents in identifying and articulating the right path forward.
