    Description

    Important Note:The metadata description below mentions the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (or RHNA). Part of meeting RHNA Eligibility is satisfying a list of criteria set by the State of California that needs to be met in order to qualify. This dataset contains both RHNA Eligible and non-RHNA Eligible sites. Non-RHNA Eligible sites are those that didn't quite meet the eligibility criteria set by the state, but will be still eligible for Rezoning per Department of Regional Planning guidelines, and thus represents a full picture of ALL sites that are eligible for Rezoning. The official Housing Element Rezoning layer that was certified by the State of California is located here, but it should be noted that this layer only contains sites that are RHNA Eligible.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:12/18/24 - 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. 10/23/24 - 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.

    Description

    For the past several censuses, the Census Bureau has invited people to self-respond before following up in-person using census takers. The 2010 Census invited people to self-respond predominately by returning paper questionnaires in the mail. The 2020 Census allows people to self-respond in three ways: online, by phone, or by mail.The 2020 Census self-response rates are self-response rates for current census geographies. These rates are the daily and cumulative self-response rates for all housing units that received invitations to self-respond to the 2020 Census. The 2020 Census self-response rates are available for states, counties, census tracts, congressional districts, towns and townships, consolidated cities, incorporated places, tribal areas, and tribal census tracts.The Self-Response Rate of Los Angeles County is 65.1% for 2020 Census, which is slightly lower than 69.6% of California State rate.More information about these data is available in the Self-Response Rates Map Data and Technical Documentation document associated with the 2020 Self-Response Rates Map or review FAQs.Animated Self-Response Rate 2010 vs 2020 is available at ESRI site SRR Animated Maps and can explore Census 2020 SRR data at ESRI Demographic site Census 2020 SSR Data.Following Demographic Characteristics are included in this data and web maps to visualize their relationships with Census Self-Response Rate (SRR).1.

    Description

    This EnviroAtlas dataset estimates the intersection density of walkable roads within a 750 meter radius of any given 10 meter pixel in the community. Intersections are defined as any point where 3 or more roads meet and density is calculated using kernel density, where closer intersections are weighted higher than further intersections. Intersection density is highly correlated with walking for transportation. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

    Description

    Summary: This dataset contains an inventory of City of Los Angeles Sidewalks and related features (Access Ramps, Curbs, Driveways, and Parkways).Background: This inventory was performed throughout 2017 using a combination of G.I.S software, aerial imagery (2014 LARIAC), and a geographic dataset of property/right-of way lines. The dataset has not been updated since its creation.Description: The following provides more detail about the feature classes in this dataset. All features were digitized (“traced”) as observed in the orthophotography (digital aerial photos) and assigned the Parcel Identification Number (PIN) of their corresponding property:Sidewalk (polygon) – represents paved pedestrian walkways. Typical widths are between 3‐6 feet in residential areas and larger and more variable in commercial and high‐density traffic areas.Alley-Sidewalk (polygon) – represents the prevailing walkway or path of travel at the entrance/exit of an alley. Digitized as Sidewalk features but categorized as Alley Sidewalk and assigned a generic PIN value, ALLEY SIDEWALK.Corner Polygon (polygon) - feature created where sidewalks from two streets meet but do not intersect (i.e. at corner lots). There’s no standard shape/type and configurations vary widely. These are part of the Sidewalk feature class.In commercial and high‐density residential areas where there is only continuous sidewalk (no parkway strip), the sidewalk also functions as a Driveway.Driveway (polygon) – represents area that provides vehicular access to a property. Features are not split by extended parcel lot lines except when two adjacent properties are served by the same driveway approach (e.g. a common driveway), in which case they are and assigned a corresponding PIN.Parkway (polygon) – represents the strip of land behind the curb and in front of the sidewalk. Generally, they are landscaped with ground cover but they may also be filled in with decorative stone, pavers, decomposed granite, or concrete. They are created by offsetting lines, the Back of Curb (BOC) line and the Face of Walk (FOW). The distance between the BOC and FOW is measured off the aerial image and rounded to the nearest 0.5 foot, typically 6 – 10 feet.Curb (polygon) – represents the concrete edging built along the street to form part of the gutter. Features are always 6” wide strips and are digitized using the front of curb and back of curb digitized lines. They are the leading improvement polygon and are created for all corner, parkway, driveway and, sidewalk (if no parkway strip is present) features.Curb Ramp, aka Access Ramp (point) – represents the geographic center (centroid) of Corner Polygon features in the Sidewalk feature class. They have either a “Yes” or “No” attribute that indicates the presence or absence of a wheelchair access ramp, respectively.Fields: All features include the following fields...FeatureID – a unique feature identifier that is populated using the feature class’ OBJECTID fieldAssetID – a unique feature identifier populated by Los Angeles City staff for internal usePIND – a unique Parcel Identification Number (PIN) for all parcels within the City of L.A. All Sidewalk related features will be split, non-overlapping, and have one associated Parcel Identification Number (PIN). CreateDate – indicates date feature was createdModifiedDate – indicates date feature was revised/editedCalc_Width (excluding Access Ramps) – a generalized width of the feature calculated using spatial and mathematical algorithms on the feature. In almost all cases where features have variable widths, the minimum width is used. Widths are rounded to the nearest whole number. In cases where there is no value for the width, the applied algorithms were unable to calculate a reliable value.Calc_Length (excluding Access Ramps) – a generalized length of the feature calculated using spatial and mathematical algorithms on the feature. Lengths are rounded to the nearest whole number. In cases where there is no value for the length, the applied algorithms were unable to calculate a reliable value.Methodology: This dataset was digitized using a combination of G.I.S software, aerial imagery (2014 LARIAC), and a geographic dataset of property/right-of way lines.The general work flow is as follows:Create line work based on digital orthophotography, working from the face‐of‐curb (FOC) inward to the property right-of-way (ROW)Build sidewalk, parkway, driveway, and curb polygons from the digitized line workPopulate all polygons with the adjacent property PIN and classify all featuresCreate Curb Ramp pointsWarnings: This dataset has been provided to allow easy access and a visual display of Sidewalk and related features (Parkways, Driveway, Curb Ramps and Curbs). Every reasonable effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the data provided; nevertheless, some information may not be accurate. The City of Los Angeles assumes no responsibility arising from use of this information. THE MAPS AND ASSOCIATED DATA ARE PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Other things to keep in mind about this dataset are listed below:Obscured Features – The existence of dense tree canopy or dark shadows in the aerial imagery tend to obscure or make it difficult to discern the extent of certain features, such as Driveways. In these cases, they may have been inferred from the path in the corresponding parcel. If a feature and approach was completely obscured, it was not digitized. In certain instances the coloring of the sidewalk and adjacent pavement rendered it impossible to identify the curb line or that a sidewalk existed. Therefore a sidewalk may or may not be shown where one actually may or may not exist.Context: The following links provide information on the policy context surrounding the creation of this dataset.

    Description

    The 2020 cartographic boundary KMLs are simplified representations of selected geographic areas from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). These boundary files are specifically designed for small-scale thematic mapping. When possible, generalization is performed with the intent to maintain the hierarchical relationships among geographies and to maintain the alignment of geographies within a file set for a given year. Geographic areas may not align with the same areas from another year. Some geographies are available as nation-based files while others are available only as state-based files. After each decennial census, the Census Bureau delineates urban areas that represent densely developed territory, encompassing residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. In general, this territory consists of areas of high population density and urban land use resulting in a representation of the urban footprint. There are 2,644 Urban Areas (UAs) in this data release with either a minimum population of 5,000 or a housing unit count of 2,000 units. Each urban area is identified by a 5-character numeric census code that may contain leading zeroes. This file includes revisions made to the 2020 Census New Orleans, LA Urban Area where the territory originally delineated as the 2020 Census Laplace--Lutcher--Gramercy, LA Urban Area was combined with the 2020 Census New Orleans, LA Urban Area to form the current New Orleans, LA Urban Area. This file includes revisions made to the 2020 Census Atlanta, GA Urban Area and Gainesville, GA Urban Area, where some urban territory originally designated to the Gainesville, GA Urban Area was reassigned to the Atlanta, GA Urban Area.

    Description

    OverviewThese are the Homeless Counts for 2020 as provided by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), and the cities of Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach. The majority of this data comes from LAHSA using tract-level counts; the cities of Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach did not have tract-level counts available. The purpose of this layer is to depict homeless density at a community scale. Please read the note from LAHSA below regarding the tract level counts. In this layer LAHSA's tract-level population count was rounded to the nearest whole number, and density was determined per square mile of each community. It should be noted that not all of the sub-populations captured from LAHSA (eg. people living in vans, unaccompanied minors, etc.) are not captured here; only sheltered, unsheltered, and total population. Data generated on 12/2/20.Countywide Statistical AreasLos Angeles County's 'Countywide Statistical Areas' layer was used to classify the city / community names. Since this is tract-level data there are several times where a tract is in more than one city/community. Whatever the majority of the coverage of a tract is, that is the community that got coded. The boundaries of these communities follow aggregated tract boundaries and will therefore often deviate from the 'Countywide Statistical Area' boundaries.Note from LAHSALAHSA does not recommend aggregating census tract-level data to calculate numbers for other geographic levels. Due to rounding, the census tract-level data may not add up to the total for Los Angeles City Council District, Supervisorial District, Service Planning Area, or the Los Angeles Continuum of Care.The Los Angeles Continuum of Care does not include the Cities of Long Beach, Glendale, and Pasadena and will not equal the countywide Homeless Count Total.Street Count Data include persons found outside, including persons found living in cars, vans, campers/RVs, tents, and makeshift shelters.

    Description

    Monaco led the ranking for countries with the highest population density in 2024, with nearly 26,000 residents per square kilometer. The Special Administrative Region of Macao came in second, followed by Singapore. The world’s second smallest country Monaco is the world’s second-smallest country, with an area of about two square kilometers and a population of only around 40,000. It is a constitutional monarchy located by the Mediterranean Sea, and while Monaco is not part of the European Union, it does participate in some EU policies. The country is perhaps most famous for the Monte Carlo casino and for hosting the Monaco Grand Prix, the world's most prestigious Formula One race. The global population Globally, the population density per square kilometer is about 60 inhabitants, and Asia is the most densely populated region in the world. The global population is increasing rapidly, so population density is only expected to increase. In 1950, for example, the global population stood at about 2.54 billion people, and it reached over eight billion during 2023.

    TURKEY, Syria, Jazira Region
    Description

    This population dataset complements 13 other datasets as part of a study that compared ancient settlement patterns with modern environmental conditions in the Jazira region of Syria. This study examined settlement distribution and density patterns over the past five millennia using archaeological survey reports and French 1930s 1:200,000 scale maps to locate and map archaeological sites. An archaeological site dataset was created and compared to and modelled with soil, geology, terrain (contour), surface and subsurface hydrology and normal and dry year precipitation pattern datasets; there are also three spreadsheet datasets providing 1963 precipitation and temperature readings collected at three locations in the region. The environmental datasets were created to account for ancient and modern population subsistence activities, which comprise barley and wheat farming and livestock grazing. These environmental datasets were subsequently modelled with the archaeological site dataset, as well as, land use and population density datasets for the Jazira region. Ancient trade routes were also mapped and factored into the model, and a comparison was made to ascertain if there was a correlation between ancient and modern settlement patterns and environmental conditions; the latter influencing subsistence activities. Creation of this population dataset, derived from a 1961 census, was created to compare modern population density patterns with the distribution of ancient settlement patterns to ascertain if patterns are shared. There is a similarity between these patterns with higher concentrations of settlements and population along the banks of rivers until reaching the northern area of the Jazira where both extend across the wider landscape and away from rivers. Derived from 1:1 million scale map produced for the following report: Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), United Nations. Etude des Ressources en Eaux Souterraines de la Jezireh Syrienne. Rome: FAO, 1966.Population map was copied to mylar and scanned to create a polygon coverage of the soil classes, which include land-use attribute information. Each polygon was labelled and attributed with population count. GIS vector data. This dataset was first accessioned in the EDINA ShareGeo Open repository on 2010-07-05 and migrated to Edinburgh DataShare on 2017-02-21.

    This layer represents the Transit Oriented Districts depicted in Figure 6.5 in the General Plan 2035. These are urban and suburban areas with access to major transit and commercial corridors that have the most potential for infill development, and are well-suited for higher density housing and mixed uses. With the exception of the East Los Angeles 3rd Street Specific Plan, and Willowbrook TOD Specific Plan, all of these are 1/2 mile buffers around a major transit stop.

    Description

    As described in the Executive Summary below from the Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element, these are the parcels from the 'Rezoning Program' as of 7/26/21. For more information about the Draft Housing Element, please click here.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (from Draft Housing Element):The County is required to ensure the availability of residential sites, at adequate densities and appropriate development standards, in the unincorporated areas to accommodate its share of the regional housing need--also known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The unincorporated areas have 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:Very Low Income – 25,648Lower Income – 13,691Moderate Income – 14,180Above Moderate Income – 36,533The Sites Inventory (Appendix A) is comprised of vacant and underutilized sites that are zoned at appropriate densities and development standards to facilitate housing development. Other strategies to accommodate the RHNA include projected number of ADUs, specific plan capacity, selected entitled projects, and capacity or planned development on County-owned sites within cities. The remainder of the RHNA is accommodated by sites to be rezoned to accommodate higher density housing development.MORE DETAILED INFO ON METHODOLOGY: ((PLACEHOLDER for Appendix G from BOS Consent posting))UPDATE HISTORY:1/5/21 - Coded Supervisorial District for each parcel2/4/21 - Added four fields that show the proposed / existing Land Use Policy / Zoning that display the category + brief description + density range - done mainly for the Story Map. Also, renamed the GIS layer (removed 'Adequate_Sites_Inventory' from the name).3/16/21 - Added 'Status Update (2021)' field to flag those parcels for removal following findings from Housing Section and EIR consultant.3/31/21 - Began making edits based on QC done by Housing Section in March, 2021 and exported this layer to an ARCHIVE version so we have the original data if needed. Made the following updates in AltadenaCoded all 'GC' categories as 'N/A' for RHNA Eligible and removed proposed LUP / Zoning category - THESE CAN NO LONGER BE COUNTED IN REZONE.Downgraded Proposed MU to Proposed CG for all current 'MU / Commercial Zones', and updated min/max density. Nulled out proposed zoning categories. Need to re-do unit calculations!4/1/21 - Continuing with Altadena QC, updating Status Update (2021) field:Downgraded Proposed MU to Proposed CG for all current 'MU / Non-Commercial Zones', and updated min/max density. Need Proposed Zoning from HE Section for consistency with CG category. Need to re-do unit calculations!Coded the ones marked 'Zoe to review'4/4/21 - Coded additional parcels that were condos (missed from before). Updated '2021 Update notes' and condo-related fields (including units). In Altadena, re-calculated units for all that are downgraded from Prop LU MU > CG. Identified those not meeting 16 unit minimum, and of those that were RHNA eligible, were coded as 'No'. Noted in the '2021 Update notes'.4/5/21 - Made the following edits per QC results from Housing Section:Lennox / W. Athens - coded '65 dB' parcels as "N/A" (removing from Rezoning list).Altadena - verified that no additional RHNA eligible parcels removed due to the criteria: “Existing residential buildings 50 or more years old, where the number of units allowed under the new LU is at least 2 - 3 times what's on the ground”All areas - coded Density Bonus of 27.5% as identified from the Housing Section as blank4/6/21 - Continued making edits per the QC results from Housing Section from the Rezoning list.4/7/21 - Continued making edits per the QC results from the Housing Section for Altadena.4/10/21 - Double-checked all Rezone edits. Re-calculated all units for all those that were updated (Status Update 2021 IS NOT NULL) and are on Rezoning list (RHNA Eligible? <> 'N/A'). Exported RHNA eligible to spreadsheet and double-checked unit maths.4/12/21 - Updated last proposed zoning categories in Altadena (confirmed by Housing Section). Updated current / proposed zoning descriptions (removed zoning suffices).4/13/21 - Made additional QC updates to some statuses regarding parcels that overlap with ASI.4/14/21 - Updated current zoning for the recently adopted By-Right Housing Ordinance Zone Change (all of these cases have the status of "N/A" - or, not considered for rezoning)4/15/21 - Researched 11 parcels that were coded as 'Yes - Rezoning Program' for RHNA Eligibility AND were flagged as not RHNA eligible for the model runs done previously 'Filter 2b'. Confirmed they should all remain RHNA eligible with the exception of 2.4/27/21 - Updated status for additional sites during week of 4/19, and on 4/27. Updated 107 parcels to the RHNA Eligibility Status of "Yes - Moderate Income"4/28/21 - Updated 310 parcels to the RHNA Eligibility Status of "Yes - Above Moderate Income"5/4/21 - Updated RHNA Eligibility Status to "No" since it overlapped with ASI.5/5/21 - Updated RHNA Eligibility Status to "Yes - Moderate" and "Yes - Above Moderate", and also removed two parcels that were also Historical Sites, per QC requests from Housing Section. SUMMARIZED THIS DATA AS A TABLE TO RESPOND TO SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT 1.5/11/21 - Updated schema:RHNA Eligible now just 'Yes' or 'No' (Rather than 'Yes + Inc level')Added fields for various income levels - to match what is in ASI layerKept 'Realistic Capacity' for the 'Non RHNA-Eligible' sites (these aren't broken down by Income level)Calculated 'Very Low' and 'Low' income levels to be 50/50 of the 'Realistic Capacity' (rounded up for VL, rounded down for L)5/12/21 - PREP FOR HCD TEMPLATE - Added field for Vacant / Non Vacant uses per the Assessor Use Code (ends in 'V' or 'X')6/2/21 - Updated one parcel that had 'Prop min density' blank. Trimmed Site Address field of trailing spaces.6/10/21 - ARCHIVED - exported to an archived layer as this is a snapshot in time from when it was sent to HCD on 6/7/21.6/28/21 - Exported the features (essentially copied the layer) as there was some strange behavior of attributes not selecting and joins not fully working - suspected that the data was slightly corrupted somehow, however a simple copy seemed to fix the issue. Modified several parcels per QC done by Housing Section in June, added some parcels as well.6/29/21 - Added sites per June QC and updated relevant fields - flagged those that need to have units recalculated in a temporary field.6/30/21 - Updated units for added sites. Flagged several parcels in FF and WALP for removal. RENAMED 'RHNA STATUS' CATEGORIES FROM "N/A" TO "REMOVE" (to be consistent with the ASI)7/1/21 - Removed or otherwise modified several parcels due to overlapping with new bldg permits / entitlements.7/6/21 - Updated based on refinements identified by the Housing Section on 7/1/21: Adding back Central Ave in Florence-Firestone and adding/removing sites in La Crescenta-Montrose, and updating some minor things (not related to units).7/7/21 - Checked math on all unit calculations using formulas in Excel - a small number of them were off by 1 unit (probably due to not rounding), and they were fixed. Added 'Planning Areas' field.7/20/21 - Incorporated changes following additional QC and zoning Inconsistencies identified in South and West Whittier following significant shortfall with the removal of Northlake Specific Plan:Added Income Category field and calculated valuesRemoved one parcel that overlapped with an existing Mobile Home ParkRemoved 1,122 polygons flagged as "REMOVED" that overlapped with the South and West Whittier changes (select by location against "Zoning_Inconsistancy_Parcels_SDs_345" layer.Added parcels for Above Moderate RHNA units from "Zoning_Inconsistancy_Parcels_SDs_345" layer and filled in fields as necessary.Added Adj Cluster IDs for 8 of the newly added parcels (adding to the next highest available ID in the whole dataset)7/24/21 - Coded all empty Site Addresses with nearest Street Intersection. See analysis fields starting with "Street_Intersection" in 'Housing_Element_2021_2029' File GDB.7/25/21 - Added ZIP Codes for those that were blank.7/26/21 - re-worded the metadata description (above UPDATE HISTORY)7/30/21 - 7/31/21 - Added Proposed Florence-Firestone TOD parcels.9/13/21 - Slight update to calculate the 'Income Category' field for those with RHNA Eligible = NO - to make those NULL.11/16/21 - Removed Density Bonus from the bottom 15% of sites (71 sites out of the 468) per HCD's comment. For the sites that fell below the 16 units, they were moved to the Above Moderate income category to receive RHNA credit.12/30/21 - Added updated Supervisorial District ID from 2021 update.2/17/22 - Cleared out Realistic Capacity and all income level units for "RHNA Eligible = NO". This is a clean-up measure. Kept all unit calculations for these up until the 'Realistic Capacity' field.3/15/22 & 3/16/22 - Re-allocation of income-level units per recommendation by HCD. New fields were added to indicate the original income level unit numbers (as submitted to the state following the Board Hearing), and an HCD Comments field was added to flag these parcels that changed, and the transfer of units between the income categories.SLA - move units from VL/L to Mod. Added 2,238 to Mod and subtracted 1,144 from VL, and 1,094 Low Income (lots with sf < 5,950). Checked if there were any project-specific allocations to income levels and there were none.SLA - move units from L to AM. Remaining Low Income after Step 1 is 5,819, so take approximately half of that. Selecting from pool outside of those selected in STEP 1, and lot size < 10,000sf, moved 2,566 from Low Income to Above Moderate. Checked if there were any project-specific allocations to income levels and there were none. OTHER SUBMARKET - move units from L to AM. Moved 10,031 units from L to AM (lots < 90,000 sf). NOTE, that this was most of

    Description

    50 year Projected Urban Growth scenarios. Base year is 2000. Projected year in this dataset is 2050.

    By 2020, most forecasters agree, California will be home to between 43 and 46 million residents-up from 35 million today. Beyond 2020 the size of California's population is less certain. Depending on the composition of the population, and future fertility and migration rates, California's 2050 population could be as little as 50 million or as much as 70 million. One hundred years from now, if present trends continue, California could conceivably have as many as 90 million residents. Where these future residents will live and work is unclear. For most of the 20th Century, two-thirds of Californians have lived south of the Tehachapi Mountains and west of the San Jacinto Mountains-in that part of the state commonly referred to as Southern California. Yet most of coastal Southern California is already highly urbanized, and there is relatively little vacant land available for new development. More recently, slow-growth policies in Northern California and declining developable land supplies in Southern California are squeezing ever more of the state's population growth into the San Joaquin Valley. How future Californians will occupy the landscape is also unclear. Over the last fifty years, the state's population has grown increasingly urban. Today, nearly 95 percent of Californians live in metropolitan areas, mostly at densities less than ten persons per acre. Recent growth patterns have strongly favored locations near freeways, most of which where built in the 1950s and 1960s. With few new freeways on the planning horizon, how will California's future growth organize itself in space? By national standards, California's large urban areas are already reasonably dense, and economic theory suggests that densities should increase further as California's urban regions continue to grow. In practice, densities have been rising in some urban counties, but falling in others.

    These are important issues as California plans its long-term future. Will California have enough land of the appropriate types and in the right locations to accommodate its projected population growth? Will future population growth consume ever-greater amounts of irreplaceable resource lands and habitat? Will jobs continue decentralizing, pushing out the boundaries of metropolitan areas? Will development densities be sufficient to support mass transit, or will future Californians be stuck in perpetual gridlock? Will urban and resort and recreational growth in the Sierra Nevada and Trinity Mountain regions lead to the over-fragmentation of precious natural habitat? How much water will be needed by California's future industries, farms, and residents, and where will that water be stored? Where should future highway, transit, and high-speed rail facilities and rights-of-way be located? Most of all, how much will all this growth cost, both economically, and in terms of changes in California's quality of life? Clearly, the more precise our current understanding of how and where California is likely to grow, the sooner and more inexpensively appropriate lands can be acquired for purposes of conservation, recreation, and future facility siting. Similarly, the more clearly future urbanization patterns can be anticipated, the greater our collective ability to undertake sound city, metropolitan, rural, and bioregional planning.

    Consider two scenarios for the year 2100. In the first, California's population would grow to 80 million persons and would occupy the landscape at an average density of eight persons per acre, the current statewide urban average. Under this scenario, and assuming that 10% percent of California's future population growth would occur through infill-that is, on existing urban land-California's expanding urban population would consume an additional 5.06 million acres of currently undeveloped land. As an alternative, assume the share of infill development were increased to 30%, and that new population were accommodated at a density of about 12 persons per acre-which is the current average density of the City of Los Angeles. Under this second scenario, California's urban population would consume an additional 2.6 million acres of currently undeveloped land. While both scenarios accommodate the same amount of population growth and generate large increments of additional urban development-indeed, some might say even the second scenario allows far too much growth and development-the second scenario is far kinder to California's unique natural landscape.

    This report presents the results of a series of baseline population and urban growth projections for California's 38 urban counties through the year 2100. Presented in map and table form, these projections are based on extrapolations of current population trends and recent urban development trends. The next section, titled Approach, outlines the methodology and data used to develop the various projections. The following section, Baseline Scenario, reviews the projections themselves. A final section, entitled Baseline Impacts, quantitatively assesses the impacts of the baseline projections on wetland, hillside, farmland and habitat loss.

Description

Important Note:The metadata description below mentions the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (or RHNA). Part of meeting RHNA Eligibility is satisfying a list of criteria set by the State of California that needs to be met in order to qualify. This dataset contains both RHNA Eligible and non-RHNA Eligible sites. Non-RHNA Eligible sites are those that didn't quite meet the eligibility criteria set by the state, but will be still eligible for Rezoning per Department of Regional Planning guidelines, and thus represents a full picture of ALL sites that are eligible for Rezoning. The official Housing Element Rezoning layer that was certified by the State of California is located here, but it should be noted that this layer only contains sites that are RHNA Eligible.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:12/18/24 - 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. 10/23/24 - 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.
