The City’s Adaptive Reuse Program works by streamlining the process developers must follow to get their projects approved, resulting in substantial time saving.

"The City’s Adaptive Reuse Program's first component, a set of land use ordinances, relaxes parking, density, and other typical zoning requirements. Through fire and life safety measures, the Program’s second component provides flexibility in the approval and permitting process." (excerpt from the City of Los Angeles Adaptive Reuse Program book)
