If you own, rent, or are thinking about buying in Redondo, here is what the measure changes, in plain words.

What does Measure ART do?

Measure ART amends Redondo Beach's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. It supports more commercial activity in a few key areas, and it lowers allowed housing density for some residential and mixed-use properties while raising it for others.

What changes on Artesia and Aviation Boulevards?

Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) goes from 0.6 to 1.5.
Maximum height goes from 30 feet to 45 feet, or from two stories to three.
Rooftop dining is part of the expanded development potential.

What changes on Pacific Coast Highway?

Some commercial properties move to C-4 zoning.
Maximum FAR goes from 0.5 to 1.0.
Some parcels convert from mixed-use or residential to commercial.

What changes for industrial land north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard?

Maximum FAR goes from 0.7 to 1.0.
A new Industrial Flex overlay allows light industrial and commercial uses, including R&D, tech and incubator space, offices, and hotels, at a maximum FAR of 1.0.

How does housing density change?

In some areas, allowed density drops from 35 to 30 units per acre.
In others, it rises from 28 to 30 units per acre.
The city's FAQ says Measure ART does not require any additional housing units.

The measure also creates a new Mixed-Use Transit Center zone.

When do Coastal Zone changes take effect?

Plan changes inside the Coastal Zone also need approval from the California Coastal Commission before they take effect. So inland and coastal changes may not land at the same time.

What this means for South Bay clients

If the results are certified, the measure changes what owners are allowed to propose on these corridors. It does not change what is already built, and it is no guarantee that any project gets filed, financed, or built.

If you're watching North Redondo commercial strips, PCH commercial parcels, or the residential and mixed-use rules near them, here is what to follow:
