Overview
Los Angeles County is preparing Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) for the East San Gabriel Valley (ESGV), Metro, South Bay, Westside, and West San Gabriel Valley (WSGV) Planning Areas, with completion anticipated in 2029. This website provides an overview of the CIPs, including the purpose of the CIPs and the CIP planning process. In addition, the website provides access to Planning Area-specific CIP pages, documents, events, surveys, and mailing list signups.
What is a CIP?
A CIP is a long-range planning document that identifies infrastructure needs, prioritizes potential infrastructure improvements, and explores potential funding strategies to help inform future infrastructure investment decisions over the next 5-10 years. In other words, a CIP is a planning tool that helps identify and prioritize potential infrastructure improvements for future consideration. Each CIP will primarily focus on mobility/transportation, sewer, and stormwater management infrastructure systems under the County’s jurisdiction within each specific Planning Area. Water and energy systems may be referenced at a high level for planning context and coordination purposes but are not a core part of the infrastructure analysis. Long-term infrastructure resilience and climate-related challenges will also be considered as part of the CIP development process.
Why Are We Creating CIPs?
The General Plan organizes the County unincorporated communities into 11 Planning Areas and requires the development of a CIP for each area as part of its implementation program. In recent years, the Board of Supervisors adopted Area Plans for the unincorporated communities of several Planning Areas throughout the County. These Area Plans included land use and zoning changes to accommodate over 56,000 additional housing units to address housing needs and future growth within these communities over the next 10 years. The CIPs are being prepared to help plan for infrastructure improvements needed to support existing communities, future growth, and long-term infrastructure resilience to climate change within each Planning Area.
CIP Development Process
LA County Planning (DRP), in collaboration with the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), Chief Sustainability Office (CSO), Public Works (DPW), and other County departments, will develop an individual CIP for the five Planning Areas to support equitable and resilient infrastructure planning.
The CIP work process includes reviewing available infrastructure data, identifying infrastructure needs, identifying and prioritizing potential infrastructure improvements, preparing planning-level cost estimates, exploring potential funding strategies, and preparing the draft and final CIPs for each Planning Area. Community engagement activities will occur throughout the CIP planning process to help identify local priorities and infrastructure needs.
The CIPs will be covered by Programmatic CEQA/NEPA documents to evaluate environmental impacts of the proposed CIPs. The CIPs amend the County General Plan and will be reviewed through public hearing processes before the Regional Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for final adoption.
