Los Angeles County Department of Public Works’ Vertical Control Network is composed of more than 1,700 miles (2,720 kilometers) of level runs and comprise nearly 9,000 benchmarks. The basic accuracy of the net is reflected by an indicated field probable error of ± 0.017 feet per mile (4 mm per kilometer) of leveling as determined from conditions of closure. However, because of varying degrees of subsidence and heaving, the true datum is recovered only by obtaining substantial agreement of a number of benchmarks.For each active benchmark, a point representation was created in GIS by locating them based on their description. Parcel data, mile markers, the County Address Management System (CAMS), LARIAC aerials, oblique photos, 2-foot contour lines and/or Google Street View were used in assisting with the location.The creation of the benchmarks in GIS greatly enhances the Vertical Control Network by adding visual context with respect to their representative geospatial locations. With a glance, geospatial patterns can be observed and out-of-place benchmarks can be quickly identified and remapped to the correct location after verification.To facilitate the adjustment, indexing and distribution of adjusted values in the network, the county territory was divided into 33 quads or areas. For identification purposes, each quad was given a name (for example, “Rosemead”, “La Mirada”, “Santa Fe”, and etc.). Index maps, county maps, and other information can be accessed and downloaded on the basis of each of the quads by going to Survey Division’s Benchmark Retrieval System (https://pw.lacounty.gov/sur/benchmark). General adjustments are carried out every 5 to 10 years and the provided elevation data is expected to remain sound during this period. When a quad is adjusted, new elevations will be published and the date of the readjustment will be noted. No historical data is provided, but it can be acquired from Survey Division’s Public Records Counter or via the fee based Optional Technical Research (OTR) program.

This website provides a limited number of Substructure Maps in “pdf” format via GIS polygons representing grids containing URL links. Across various areas of Los Angeles County, paper maps were created by Public Works (PW) and its predecessor Departments to show underground utilities such as cable TV, gas, oil, and telephone lines.

Though most of these maps are no longer updated, they can be useful as a research resource. Every reasonable effort has been made to assure the accuracy of this data and the maps referenced. Some cities may provide substructure information for the areas not covered by these grids. Additional and more accurate substructure data and information may also be obtained through the utility companies. Before digging, it is strongly advised to contact the Underground Service Alert (DigAlert Express) at www.digalert.org/digexpress.html or by calling 811.

This is the zoning layer for UNINCORPORATED areas of Los Angeles County. It does not draw at all scales because there are lots of records (so basically for speed and performance), so it is scale dependent. Also, why only for UNINCORPORATED areas? Because there are 88 cities in L.A. County and they each manage their zoning and land use information separately.

For more complete information, see Title 22 (Planning and Zoning) of the Los Angeles County Code, or visit the Department of Regional Planning's website here.

PLEASE NOTE: Santa Catalina Island is not included in this dataset. It is in a separate data layer since Catalina has specific zoning categories that differ from the Countywide zoning categories found in Title 22. The Department of Regional Planning performs all land use planning functions for the UNINCORPORATED areas of Los Angeles County. Our services include long range planning, land development counseling, project/case intake and processing, environmental review and zoning enforcement for each of our County UNINCORPORATED communities.What is an UNINCORPORATED area of Los Angeles County?There are 88 incorporated cities within Los Angeles County, each with its own city council. The areas that are NOT part of these cities are considered to be UNINCORPORATED County territory. More than 65 percent of Los Angeles County is UNINCORPORATED. For the approximately 1 million people living in these areas, the Board of Supervisors and County departments provide the municipal services.LAST UPDATED: 4/9/25 for several zone changes related to the South Bay, West San Gabriel, and Westside Area Plan updates.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads shapefile includes all features within the MTS Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in the MTS that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

Represent's the outer land boundary of Los Angeles County. Land boundaries are derived from the Los Angeles County Cadastral landbase. Ocean boundaries are drived from NOAA coastline data, modified to conform with LAR-IAC aerial imagery where needed. The most current copy of this data is available at the Los Angeles County GIS Data Portal.

Designed, created and shared by the Los Angeles County Enterprise GIS (eGIS) team, the Los Angeles County Base is designed to be overlaid with data layers. The basemap features roads, city and communities boundaries, national hydrographic data, shaded relief imagery, along with land cover and land type classifications. As you zoom further into Los Angeles County the aerial imagery layer is displayed at around the scale of 1:18,056. The basemap covers the extent of Los Angeles County, and has been designed to show different levels of detail based on zoom levels. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

This dataset contains the information for the transit lines in Los Angeles, California. The file contains left and right alignments for five Metro lines to include: the Red and Purple Line, the Gold Line, the Green Line, the Expo Line, the Blue Line. The alignments were created from coordinate points extracted from the Record Drawing. The Record Drawings included spiral curve, circle curve, and alignment data. The Record Drawings were created at various time from 11/1985 to 04/1999. Only tangent lines and circular curve data were used to create the alignments. Spiral data and crossover data were estimated and do not reflect the actual curvature of the tracks.

This feature layer shows major watersheds in Los Angeles County. It is a copy of Los Angeles County Public Works' DPW.Major_Watersheds except for the Antelope Valley Watershed feature, which was added to match the watersheds shown on the https://waterforla.lacounty.gov/watersheds/ website. Considering the fact that there is already an "Authoritative" hosted feature layer by FYin@dpw.lacounty.gov_lacounty that looks pretty much like this except for the extra Antelope Valley Watershed feature, users are encouraged to look elsewhere for a more-authoritative source. This layer was made only to specifically satisfy the needs the needs of staff working in CGRG Division of Los Angeles County Public Works.

This dataset seeks to encapsulate right of way parcel information for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District(LACFCD). It contains polygons representing each parcel and attribute information information that lists the basic identification information of those parcels. There is also information on the underlying right-of-way map that the parcel polygon and attributes are based on--with a link to that map in the Land Records Information Website.This data is maintained by the Right of Way Section of the Survey/Mapping and Property Management Division of the Department of Public Works. It is drawn to be coincident with the county's landbase linework and thus may not be a true representation of a parcel's boundary. It is intended to be used as a general information tool and is not survey quality.Field ListFacilityThe primary name of the facility this parcel belongs to. Typically the name of the river, stream, or drainage project it is a part of.Parcel_NoThe identification number for a particular parcel within a facility. The parcel number is not necessarilly unique.EstateThe type of estate that the LACFCD holds over a particular parcel. This field will list the following attributes:Fee: The LACFCD owns the parcel outright.Easement: The LACFCD holds an easement over this parcel. The type of easement is not listed in this data. It can usually be found in the linked right of way map or by contacting Right of Way Engineering.Quitclaim: This is a parcel which the LACFCD owned or had an easement over at some point but has now sold, released its claim, or transferred its right of way to another party.Other: This is a catch-all attribute for any sort of relationship that does not fit in the other estate types. One example of this is a permit that grants temporary rights to the LACFCD. Map_NoThe primary right of way map that shows a parcel and that served as the basis for the information shown in the dataset. These maps are maintained and are considered to take precedence over the data in this dataset.MapLinkThis is a link to a a scan of the map, if one exists, listed in the "Map_No" field.

Los Angeles County Service Planning Areas (SPAs), updated in 2022. Los Angeles County is divided into eight SPAs for health care planning purposes.Updating SPA and Health District boundaries to align with new U.S. Census Bureau census tract boundaries is performed after every Decennial Census.How was this data created?The 2020 Census Tracts from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2021 TIGER/Line were used as building blocks for the SPA layer. The 2012 SPA layer was compared to the 2020 Census Tracts to provide preliminary information on the SPAs associated with each Census Tract and to determine where SPAs no longer aligned. For the 2022 SPA layer, boundaries were updated to align with the 2020 Census Tract boundary changes with consideration for maintaining effective service delivery. The SPAs were refined to conform with the County boundary and coastline from the Supervisorial Districts 2021 and County Boundary layers.Data Fields:SPA (Type = Text, Length = 1, Alias = SPA 2022): SPA number as text; a numeric but non-quantitative identifierSPA_NAME (Type = Text, Length = 30, Alias = SPA NAME): Full SPA nameABBV (Type = Text, Length = 5): Abbreviated SPA nameLABEL (Type = Text, Length = 10): Descriptive text of SPA for mapsSPA_NUM (Type = Short, Alias = SPA NUM): SPA number as number; field type from earlier 2012 version of SPAsUpdate Frequency: After every Decennial Census or as needed

IntroductionThis metadata is broken up into different sections that provide both a high-level summary of the Housing Element and more detailed information about the data itself with links to other resources. The following is an excerpt from the Executive Summary from the Housing Element 2021 – 2029 document:The County of Los Angeles is required to ensure the availability of residential sites, at adequate densities and appropriate development standards, in the unincorporated Los Angeles County to accommodate its share of the regional housing need--also known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Unincorporated Los Angeles County has been assigned a RHNA of 90,052 units for the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period, which is subdivided by level of affordability as follows:Extremely Low / Very Low (<50% AMI) - 25,648Lower (50 - 80% AMI) - 13,691Moderate (80 - 120% AMI) - 14,180Above Moderate (>120% AMI) - 36,533Total - 90,052NOTES - Pursuant to State law, the projected need of extremely low income households can be estimated at 50% of the very low income RHNA. Therefore, the County’s projected extremely low income can be estimated at 12,824 units. However, for the purpose of identifying adequate sites for RHNA, no separate accounting of sites for extremely low income households is required. AMI = Area Median IncomeDescriptionThe Sites Inventory (Appendix A) is comprised of vacant and underutilized sites within unincorporated Los Angeles County that are zoned at appropriate densities and development standards to facilitate housing development. The Sites Inventory was developed specifically for the County of Los Angeles, and has built-in features that filter sites based on specific criteria, including access to transit, protection from environmental hazards, and other criteria unique to unincorporated Los Angeles County. Other strategies used within the Sites Inventory analysis to accommodate the County’s assigned RHNA of 90,052 units include projected growth of ADUs, specific plan capacity, selected entitled projects, and capacity or planned development on County-owned sites within cities. This accounts for approximately 38 percent of the RHNA. The remaining 62 percent of the RHNA is accommodated by sites to be rezoned to accommodate higher density housing development (Appendix B).Caveats:This data is a snapshot in time, generally from the year 2021. It contains information about parcels, zoning and land use policy that may be outdated. The Department of Regional Planning will be keeping an internal tally of sites that get developed or rezoned to meet our RHNA goals, and we may, in the future, develop some public facing web applications or dashboards to show the progress. There may even be periodic updates to this GIS dataset as well, throughout this 8-year planning cycle.Update History:1/7/25 - Following the completion of the annexation to the City of Whittier on 11/12/24, 27 parcels were removed along Whittier Blvd which contained 315 Very Low Income units and 590 Above Moderate units. Following a joint County-City resolution of the RHNA transfer to the city, 247 Very Low Income units and 503 Above Moderate units were taken on by Whittier. 10/16/24 - Modifications were made to this layer during the updates to the South Bay and Westside Area Plans following outreach in these communities. In the Westside Planning area, 29 parcels were removed and no change in zoning / land use policy was proposed; 9 Mixed Use sites were added. In the South Bay, 23 sites were removed as they no longer count towards the RHNA, but still partially changing to Mixed Use.5/31/22 – Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the Housing Element on 5/17/22, and it received final certification from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on 5/27/22.

Countywide layer which divides the County of Los Angeles into 11 unique areas for planning purposes of the unincorporated areas. This layer is referred to as 'DRP Planning Areas.'The General Plan provides goals and policies to achieve countywide planning objectives for the unincorporated areas, and serves as the foundation for all community-based plans, such as area plans, community plans, and coastal land use plans. Area plans focus on land use and policy issues that are specific to the Planning Area. Community plans cover smaller geographic areas within the Planning Area, and address neighborhood and/or community-level policy issues. Coastal land use plans are components of local coastal programs, and regulate land use and establish policies to guide development in the coastal zone. Please refer to the Planning Areas Framework chapter in the General Plan here.LAST UPDATED: 4/9/25 for a slight boundary change related to the South Bay, Area Plan update (in the community of Del Aire).
