Building DTLA an Architectural Tour with WAYNE THOM Sunday, September 23, 2018 Downtown Los Angeles
THEMEGUIDE Building DTLA An Architectural Tour with WAYNE THOM Sunday, September 23, 2018 Downtown Los Angeles ABOUT WAYNE THOM o Wayne Thom is an internationally renowned architectural photographer famous for his shots of downtown L.A. skyscrapers. o He has worked with preeminent architects including I. M. Pei, A. Quincy Jones, and William Pereira on thousands of projects over his five-decade career. o He was born in Shanghai, grew up in Hong Kong, lived in Vancouver, and was educated in Southern California at Art Center and Brooks Institute. o Thom is a fellow of the American Society of Photographers and was given a Modern Masters Award by L.A. Conservancy. BUNKER HILL Bunker Hill was undeveloped until 1867, when a French Canadian immigrant named Prudent Beaudry bought the land, created a system of pipes and pumps to get water to the summit, and built roads to connect the hill to the developed areas below. He then developed modest structures, followed by Queen Anne mansions, and by the 1890s, Bunker Hill was one of the most luxurious neighborhoods in L.A. (named after a Revolutionary War battle fought in Boston, and won by the British, 100 years before Beaudry named one of his new hilltop streets for it). The Angels Flight funicular was built in 1901, and the early years of the twentieth century saw the construction of apartments and commercial buildings on Bunker Hill. Over the next few decades, as the growth of the streetcar system, the building of the 110 freeway, and the creation of new luxury neighborhoods in Pasadena and to the west inspired the original residents to leave the area, their large homes were divided up into multi-family dwellings. -

Central City Historic Districts, Planning Districts and Multi-Property Resources - 09/02/16
Central City Historic Districts, Planning Districts and Multi-Property Resources - 09/02/16 Districts Name: Fifth Street Single-Room Occupancy Hotel Historic District Description: The Fifth Street Single-Room Occupancy Hotel Historic District is located in the area of Downtown Los Angeles that is known as both Central City East and Skid Row. The district is small in size and rectangular in shape. It includes parcels on the north side of Fifth Street between Gladys Avenue on the east and Crocker Street on the west. Within the district are 10 properties, of which 7 (70%) contribute to its significance. The district is composed primarily of Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) hotels that were constructed between 1906 and 1922, but also includes an office building that was constructed in 1922 and two examples of infill development that date to the postwar period. Buildings occupy rectangular parcels, are flush with the street, and rise between three and seven stories in height. Most are modest and architecturally vernacular, though some exhibit some subtle references to the Beaux Arts and Italianate styles. Common architectural features include brick and masonry exteriors, flat roofs, symmetrical facades, simple cornices and dentil moldings, and articulated belt courses. Some buildings also feature fire escapes. Common alterations include storefront modifications, the alteration or removal of parapets, and the replacement of original windows and doors. This stretch of Fifth Street adheres to the skewed rectilinear street grid on which most of Downtown Los Angeles is oriented. Streetscape features are limited, and consist of concrete sidewalks that are intermittently planted with sycamore and ficus trees. -

Section 4.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Issues
Section 4.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Issues 4.1 Introduction The alternatives evaluated for the Regional Connector AA would have direct and indirect effects on the physical environment. This section of the AA describes the existing resource environment and analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with implementation of the promising build alternatives: At-Grade Emphasis LRT and Underground Emphasis LRT. At the conclusion of this document – Section 4.20 – is a summary and comparison of the build alternatives with the No Build Alternative and the TSM Alternative. The specific environmental impact resource areas analyzed in this section include: land use and economic development, displacement and relocation of existing uses, community and neighborhood, visual and aesthetics, air quality, noise and vibration, ecosystems/biological resources, geotechnical (including subsurface and hazardous materials), water resources, energy, historic, archaeological and Paleontological resources, parklands and other community facilities, economic and fiscal, safety and security, construction impacts, growth inducing, environmental justice, and major utilities. The following analysis discusses the potential environmental impacts from the construction and operation of the alternatives. Construction impacts would be temporary, while operational impacts would be on-going. As appropriate, the potential site-specific impacts are described based on available information and the current planning effort. As subsequent efforts become more detailed, revised and/or further assessments of the potential environmental effects will be prepared, evaluated and described in a future (EIR/EIS) for the project. 4.2 Land Use and Economic Development This section examines the existing land uses and associated policies within the Regional Connector PSA, and evaluates their compatibility with the build alternatives. -
