Plans & Ordinances
The Department of Regional Planning is continually updating our existing long range plans and working on amendments to our existing ordinance for approval by the RPC and Board of Supervisors on subjects such as ecological areas, senior citizen housing, parking, etc. In addition, the department is preparing an update to the Los Angeles County General Plan covering countywide elements such as land use, circulation, conservation and open space, housing, safety, and noise and community specific plans for other unincorporated areas.
Ordinances
Zoning Ordinances are local amendments to the County Code that establish regulations for the proper development of property that aim to preserve the public health, safety and welfare in the unincorporated areas. Such amendments are usually specific in nature to address one or more issues that may affect a specific community (through establishment of a Community Standards District) or throughout the unincorporated areas of the County (such as a child care ordinance).
