Virtual Counseling
Connect with a planner through virtual counseling. There are three main options:
Zoning and Planning Discussion
Choose this option if you have draft development plans or project-specific questions for sites in a special area. Special areas include a Significant Ecological Area, hillsides, and Community Standards District. This is also a good option if you need early counseling on more complicated projects.
Case Intake / Online Application Help
Choose this option if you need help submitting an application through our online permitting and inspections portal, EPIC-LA. You will need to be able to share your screen for this option.
Zoning Enforcement Violation Discussion
Choose this option if Zoning Enforcement referred you to discuss abating your violation. You’ll need to provide your violation case number and detailed list of alleged violation(s).
