The Los Angeles City Council last week approved a plan to expand the southern boundary of the Arts District, paving the way for redevelopment of the industrial area between 6th and 7th Streets just west of the river.  This area includes a scattering of modern warehouses amongst mostly older and sometimes multistory brick warehouses built in the 30’s and 40’s.  New residential grown in the current industrial area is expected.  Councilman Huizar proposed the modification to the former boundary set by the Planning Commission and CRA.
