The Olympia Sign District amendment corrects the boundaries of the originally adopted district by excluding a small residentially zoned portion at 936 Bixel Street. The area in question is currently a driveway apron and remains unaffected by future development, which will proceed as originally approved under the Olympia Project's mixed-use development. The amendment does not affect any other elements of the Sign District Ordinance, which allows for digital displays and signage in the District to support commercial and entertainment uses, contributing to the area's identity adjacent to major landmarks like LA Live and the Convention Center.

Why it Matters

This amendment ensures clarity in the boundaries of the Olympia Sign District, improving zoning practices and ensuring that only eligible areas are included. It helps maintain the character and commercial goals of the Downtown Los Angeles area while regulating signage that enhances the entertainment district's identity.
