OVERVIEW
LA County Planning aims to make our services accessible to speakers of languages other than English (LOTE) to ensure that everyone can understand and take part in the planning process. By addressing language needs, LA County Planning allows for the experiences and views of all LA County residents to be recognized and valued.
It is vital for the Department to offer better language support to LOTE speakers. This helps LA County Planning gather new community ideas and input. It also strengthens ties with underrepresented groups and improves our public services, supporting the County’s equity goals.
LA County Planning’s Language Access Plan reflects our commitment to creating inclusive, resilient communities and is a living document to be updated as new needs emerge.

RESOURCES
- Planning Library – Our Planning Library has flyers and pamphlets available in languages other than English. If there is a document that is not translated in your preferred language, please contact LanguageAccess@planning.lacounty.gov and we will work on providing the document in that language.
- Spanish Planning Glossary – LA County Planning has developed a glossary with common Planning terms translated into Spanish.
