Urbanize LA: "When and Where Does Upzoning Actually Happen?"

With spot zoning now under harsh scrutiny, new research published by the UCLA Anderson Forecast and the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate takes a closer look at when and where this practice actually occurs.

The report, authored by urban planner C.J. Gabbe, tracked the zoning of every parcel in Los Angeles between 2002 and 2014. Properties which allowed for more residential density at the end of the 12-year period were determined to be "upzoned," while those which could accommodate less density were regarded as "downzoned."
