Housing Ordinances
Update

OVERVIEW

The Housing Ordinances Update (HOU) proposes amendments to Title 21 (Subdivisions) and Title 22 (Planning and Zoning) of the Los Angeles County Code to: 
  • Align local housing development regulations in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County with recent changes in state law;
  • Remove zoning barriers to fair housing; and
  • Simplify language and correct existing errors in the County Code to improve clarity and facilitate implementation.

Visit the Documents page to access the draft ordinance, public hearing materials, handouts, and additional resources. The Regional Planning Commission closed the public hearing and unanimously voted (4-0) to recommend approval of the Housing Ordinances Update on December 3, 2025. The ordinance is now scheduled for a Board of Supervisors hearing on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
