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. These updates took effect on 4/10/25.NEED MORE FUNCTIONALITY? If you are looking for more layers or advanced tools and functionality, then try our suite of GIS Web Mapping Applications.

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.

This layer contains Legal City boundaries within Los Angeles County. The Landbase is jointly maintained by the Los Angeles County Assessor and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works provides the most current shape file of these city boundaries for download at its https://egis-lacounty.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/la-county-city-boundaries/explore?location=34.153321%2C-118.083123%2C9.49.Note: This boundary layer will not line up with the Thomas Brothers® city layer.Principal attributes include:CITY_NAME: represents the city's name.CITY_TYPE: may be used for definition queries; "Unincorporated" or "City".FEAT_TYPE: contains the type of feature each polygon represents:Land - Use this value for your definition query if you want to see only land features on your map.Pier - One example is the Santa Monica Pier. Man-made features may be regarded as extensions of the coastline.Breakwater - Examples include the breakwater barriers that protect the Los Angeles Harbor.Water - Polygons with this attribute value represent internal navigable waters. Examples of internal waters are found in the Long Beach Harbor and in Marina del Rey.3NM Buffer - Per the Submerged Lands Act, the seaward boundaries of coastal cities and unincorporated county areas are three nautical miles (a nautical mile is 1852 meters) from the coastlineURL: cities website current as of 01/01/2023This product is for information purposes and should not be used for legal, engineering, or survey purposes.

Designed, created and shared by the Los Angeles County Enterprise GIS (eGIS) team, the Los Angeles County Canvas Basemap is designed using minimal colors, labels and features. City boundaries, roads networks, land types and national hydrographic data are a few of the layers used to create this basemap. Unlike the Los Angeles County Base Basemap, the Canvas does not contain aerial imagery. This basemap covers the extent of Los Angeles County and may be used for large scale mapping. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

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.

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

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.

The CDP boundary usually is defined by the Census Bureau in cooperation with state, local or tribal officials. The boundaries are updated prior to each decennial census. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. CDPs must be contained within a single state and may not extend into an incorporated place. There are no population size requirements for CDPs. incorporated CDP data is download from Census Bureau's TIGER 2020 website (https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2020/PLACE/) and extracted for Los Angeles County. This data includes LA County 88 incorporated cities and 54 CDPs.Data Fields:GEOOID: ID field (combination of State code and place code)STATE: State code (06 for California)PLACE: City and CDP codeNAME: Place name (City and CDP name)LSAD: Type - City or CDPAREA: Area in US Acre.

This layer represents current city boundaries within Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works provides the most current shapefiles representing city boundaries and city annexations on the Los Angeles County GIS Data Portal. True, legal boundaries are only determined on the ground by surveyors licensed in the State of California. Numerous records are freely available at the Land Records Information website, hosted by the Department of Public Works.Principal attributes include:CITY_NAME: represents the city's name.CITY_TYPE: may be used for definition queries; "Unincorporated" or "City".FEAT_TYPE: identifies the feature that each polygon represents:Land - This value is used for polygons representing the land masses, if you want to see only land features on your map.Pier - This value is used for polygons representing piers along the coastline. One example is the Santa Monica Pier.Breakwater - This value is used for polygons representing man-made barriers that protect the harbors.Water - This value is used for polygons representing navigable waters inside the harbors and marinas.3NM Buffer - This value is used for polygons representing the three seaward nautical miles within the cities' limits, per the Submerged Lands Act.POPULATION: Information in this field is supplied by Mark Greninger (mgreninger@cio.lacounty.gov).Reference Date: 2021

This dataset only contains the projects marked for display on the public internet. Integrating GIS feature classes with flat table data from other databases is a common goal. Previously, this was done using spatial views and DB links; however, the draw and query performance suffered. To work around performance bottlenecks, an ETL (extract-transform-load) process was chosen so that a single feature class is created. It means that the data is no longer live.Users involved in a project typically request SMP for geometry at the following link (replace PROJECT_ID with the appropriate alphanumeric string): https://apps.intranet/prjmgt/piw3/location.aspx?project_id=PROJECT_ID

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.

Designed, created and shared by the Los Angeles County Enterprise GIS (eGIS) team, the Los Angeles County Streetmap Basemap has been designed to show the transportation network and jurisdictions across the entire county. Data included in this basemap but not limited to include freeways, highways, major and minor roads, railways, Metro lines, Metro stations, city boundaries, hillshade, national hydrographic data and land types. Designed to be suitable for large scale mapping, the basemap includes building footprints, address point and LMS data. This basemap is cached up to scale 1: 564.

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.
