PLANNING AHEAD In anticipation of a future subway or light rail line coming to Santa Monica, the City Council is thinking of amending a zoning ordinance to create a new section that would preserve that Exposition Boulevard right-of-way for long term public transportation uses, including light rail or bike paths.

The amendment also would expedite the approval for temporary uses such as parking and film production.

To move forward with the change, the City Council is expected tonight to authorize a public hearing, when residents will have a chance to offer their thoughts.

Vehicle impounding, junk yards and storage facilities would continue to be prohibited under the amendment.
