Culver City General Plan

The Culver City General Plan includes the Land Use Element Map(PDF, 798KB)  and is the umbrella document that allows the City to plan for future development. The General Plan’s intent is to set the City’s goals for development approvals and the built environment, land use ground rules, and give the public the chance to participate in the City’s planning process. Every City decision and document regulating the built environment, including the zoning code, has to be consistent with the General Plan.

Culver City Zoning Code

The Culver City Municipal Code Title 17 (Zoning) is the local law which contains detailed standards and procedures to implement the general plan. The ordinance divides the City into various zoning districts with different land uses permitted in each district. Zoning establishes regulations governing lot size, building bulk, placement, and other development standards. Requirements very from district to district, but they must be uniform within districts.
