Analyzing policy, land use and zoning characteristics : understanding the potential to build housing near rail in the city of Los Angeles
No full textThesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. [147]-151).Firstly, the author provides an overview and analysis of the City of Los Angeles political framework and implementation strategies to encourage the housing development near rail stations. Secondly, the author discusses the capacity for Los Angeles' rail system to support housing development. Thirdly, the author presents housing density and land use characteristics for neighborhoods located within a /4 mile radius of the City of Los Angeles' 41 rail stations. Fourthly, the author conducts a more specific land use and zoning analysis for 5 station neighborhoods varying in neighborhood and transit type. Although the city of Los Angeles has made various policy and development efforts to concentrate new development near rail investments, these polices and projects have only recently begun to incorporate housing as a component. The finding in this report demonstrates the range of residential densities within all station neighborhoods as well as highlights the zoning and land use limitations on building new medium-high density infill housing near rail. Although many of the rail station neighborhoods are still very much in transition and residential density is expected to increase especially along the Red Line station neighborhoods, the report makes various recommendations encouraging the city to take a more proactive and comprehensive approach in TOD development in order to address the barriers of the city's current Euclidean zoning code and facilitate further infill housing developments.by Erin M.

Household accessibility to heat refuges: Residential air conditioning, public cooled space, and walkability.
No full textabstract: Access to air conditioned space is critical for protecting urban populations from the adverse effects of heat exposure. Yet there remains fairly limited knowledge of the penetration of private (home air conditioning) and distribution of public (cooling centers and commercial space) cooled space across cities. Furthermore, the deployment of government-sponsored cooling centers is likely to be inadequately informed with respect to the location of existing cooling resources (residential air conditioning and air conditioned public space), raising questions of the equitability of access to heat refuges. We explore the distribution of private and public cooling resources and access inequities at the household level in two major US urban areas: Los Angeles County, California and Maricopa County, Arizona (whose county seat is Phoenix). We evaluate the presence of in-home air conditioning and develop a walking-based accessibility measure to air conditioned public space using a combined cumulative opportunities-gravity approach. We find significant variations in the distribution of residential air conditioning across both regions which are largely attributable to building age and inter/intra-regional climate differences. There are also regional disparities in walkable access to public cooled space. At average walking speeds, we find that official cooling centers are only accessible to a small fraction of households (3% in Los Angeles, 2% in Maricopa) while a significantly higher number of households (80% in Los Angeles, 39% in Maricopa) have access to at least one other type of public cooling resource such as a library or commercial establishment. Aggregated to a neighborhood level, we find that there are areas within each region where access to cooled space (either public or private) is limited which may increase heat-related health risks.Corresponding Author:
