AND SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN
Neal Payton, FAIA, FCNU, leads the Los Angeles-based west coast office of Torti Gallas + Partners, an urban and architectural design firm.
Payton said disaster rebuilding is an
opportunity to create a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use environment that can be
served by transit.
This would better serve the 30 percent
of people who do not drive.
“While land-ownership patterns and
infrastructure tend to be fixed, zoning itself is mutable.
Because of the small increment of
property ownership characterizing both Palisades Village and Altadena, rezoning
would allow for a delightfully more robust mix of uses and a finer grain of
development than might be found in large lot efforts that are more the norm in
redevelopment,” he said.
