Arkansas Street Specific Plan and 11700 Arkansas Street Project

The Arkansas Street Specific Plan and 11700 Arkansas Street Project, managed by the City of Artesia and the Local Agency Formation Commission for the County of Los Angeles, focuses on the strategic redevelopment of underutilized parcels within the City of Artesia. The primary objective is to establish a guiding document that enables a mix of residential and commercial uses to foster neighborhood growth, prosperity, and stability. This comprehensive effort includes the specific development of the 11700 Arkansas Street project and the annexation of the area to County Sanitation District No. 2 of Los Angeles County. The project area is geographically bounded by Arkansas Street to the north, Pioneer Boulevard to the east, Alburts Avenue to the west, and a single-family residential neighborhood to the south. Compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act is a central requirement, with a Notice of Determination filed on September 9, 2026, certifying that the project meets the necessary environmental review standards. Key coordination for the project involves the City of Artesia Community Development and the Local Agency Formation Commission.
