Hearing the message, City Hall on Tuesday held a community workshop dedi- cated specifically to the conservation of neighborhoods, which geographically make up about 94 percent of Santa Monica. The meeting was part of a series on the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE), which is the update to the city’s general plan and will dictate development in Santa Monica for the next 20 years or more.
