Project Description
The South Bay Planning Area (Planning Area) is located in the southwest corner of Los Angeles County and is one of the 11 Planning Areas established by the General Plan. The South Bay Area Plan (SBAP) will be a community-based plan developed to respond to the unique and diverse character of the eight unincorporated communities within the planning area. The communities include Alondra Park/El Camino Village, Del Aire, Hawthorne Island, La Rambla, Lennox, West Carson, Westfield/Academy Hills, and Wiseburn. The area plan will develop policies for future community growth and development. The SBAP will attempt to address issues facing the planning area including traffic congestion, air quality concerns, lack of developable land, goods movement, housing issues, environmental justice, and noise impacts.
The SBAP will be a policy document intended to direct future development and land use decisions and achieve a shared vision on how the built environment in the unincorporated communities of the Planning Area could change over the next two decades. The SBAP provides a framework for the municipal government of Los Angeles County, the development community, business owners, and residents to shape future growth in the Planning Area through 2045.
