Identify which design boundary affects the house
Echo Park’s design context changes across mapped areas. Official guidelines distinguish the Echo Park design overlay west of the lake from the Angelino Heights preservation area to the east. Locate your property before deciding how an exterior remodel should be reviewed.
Work from the house’s actual position and visible features. The appropriate discussion may involve a design overlay, historic preservation or a property outside those boundaries.
Distinguish design review from preservation review
The two mapped areas around Echo Park Lake have different purposes. Ask Planning which, if either, affects the parcel and proposed work. Do not apply Angelino Heights guidance to every Echo Park address or assume the design overlay establishes historic designation.
Connect the inside changes with the street elevation
A revised kitchen or stair layout may change windows, doors or the entry. Draw those exterior effects before choosing finishes. For a property within an overlay, use that complete scope in the review discussion rather than presenting an interior plan that omits visible changes.
