For those areas within the UNINCORPORATED parts of Los Angeles County affected by the Proposed General Plan 2035, this application will help you see how the Proposed Land Use Policy and related layers affects these properties. You can also see basic Zoning and Adopted Land Use information. Its easy-to-use interface provides jurisdiction information as well as zoning data for properties in unincorporated communities.
Our data is for unincorporated portions of Los Angeles County only. If the property for which you need information is in one of the County's 88 cities, you will need to contact that city or try its website for the information you need.
Please check the County's website with a link to all 88 incorporated cities for city contact information. If you need more types of information on unincorporated properties or advanced tools and functionality, please try our suite of GIS Web Mapping Applications.
Please send direct feedback regarding the functionality of this application to the Department of Regional Planning GIS Section.
Questions regarding the General Plan 2035 document should be sent to the Department of Regional Planning General Plan Section.
Each city's planning department develops its own zoning and land use codes. These data are not shared with Regional Planning, which is responsible only for land use planning in areas outside any incorporated city.
If the property is in a city, the data you need should be available through that city's planning department. Please see the County's site for contact information for all 88 incorporated cities.
When you use the 'identify tool' on a layer (see help portion of this document), you get basic information about the Land Use Category. To get a more detailed description about the Proposed General Plan Categories, click here. For more detailed information about the Adopted General Plan or Area / Community Plan categories, click here.
