The US Congressional Districts layer contains polygons for US Congressional Districts. The source for the information in this layer is the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's Precinct Information File (PIF), The boundaries are based on the 2020 Census as provided by the California Secretary of State in 2021.Where boundaries are defined by streets, water bodies, city boundaries, or other features, those boundaries are copied to the districts layer, so that the boundaries and other layer features match perfectly.Last Update: March 2022

The Los Angeles County Waterworks Districts boundary layer was created by the GIS and Mapping Unit of the Waterworks Division from the legal descriptions of the initial formations of the Districts and updated with subsequent annexations (additions to) and detachments (subtractions from) of the Districts. The boundaries are used internally for analysis and planning and are used by the general public to find the Water Utility for their property when accessing the Service Locator on the Public Works website.Click HERE to access the REST end point for Los Angeles County Waterworks District Boundary.Layer Contact Information:Los Angeles County Public WorksWaterworks DivisionJack Husted(626) 300-4774jhusted@dpw.lacounty.gov

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 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 emphatically 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.

Zoned Districts were established when zoning was initially created for the UNINCORPORTED areas of Los Angeles County. They served to divide the County into smaller distinct units for easier record keeping and organization. Zoned Districts remain in use to identify and track records from the earliest period, and for performing queries regarding permits and ordinances adopted over time. For a list of Zoned Districts or other information regarding these districts, please refer to Title 22 of the Los Angeles County Code here.LAST UPDATED: 12/12/24 for annexation to the City of Whittier.NEED MORE FUNCTIONALITY?

The Los Angeles County Flood Control District (District) was established in 1915 and encompasses approximately 2,758 square miles. The District operates and maintains one of the most complex systems of flood control and water conservation in the Country. The District’s current infrastructure includes 14 major dams and reservoirs, 483 miles of concrete and soft-bottom channels, 3,380 miles of underground storm drain conduits, 82,275 catch basins, 48 pump stations, 173 debris basins, 181 crib dams, 29 sediment placement sites, 27 spreading grounds, 21 low-flow diversion structures, 3 seawater barrier systems with 290 seawater barrier injection wells, 1 constructed wetland, and 1 mitigation bank area. Employees of the Los Angeles County Public Works (PW) serve as staff for the District. The District is separate from PW and funds of each entity remain in separate accounts. PW pays the District for the use of District equipment, materials and property used for County purposes. The District is empowered to carry out the objectives of the Los Angeles County Flood Control Act of 1915, California Water Code, Appendix, Chapter 28 (the Act). The objectives are to provide for the control and conservation of flood, storm and other wastewater and to protect from damage such as flood or storm waters, the harbors, waterways, public highways and property within the District. These powers are exercised by the County Board of Supervisors (Board), which acts as the governing body of the District. The duties of the Board include approving the District’s budget, determining the District’s tax rates, approving contracts, and determining when to issue bonds authorized by the voters of the District.

State law requires sellers of real property to disclose "any fact materially affecting the value and desirability of the property". Assembly Bill 2776, which went into effect January 1, 2004, requires such disclosure when the property is either within two miles of an airport or if it is within an "airport influence area". The disclosure notice must state that the property may be subject to noise, vibration, odors or other annoyances or inconveniences "associated with proximity to airport operations". This law defines the "airport influence area" as the area where airport-related factors "may significantly affect land uses or necessitate restrictions on those uses as determined by an airport land use commission". The California Public Utilities Code establishes airport land use commissions in every county to provide for the orderly development of air transportation and ensure compatible land uses around airports which are open to public use. According to the State Division of Aeronautics, the "airport influence area" is usually the planning area designated by an airport land use commission for each airport. Please click here to see the Los Angeles County Airport Land Use Commission portion of our website for maps and documents. You can also review the following document from the State of California for further information: California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook.

US Postal Service ZIP Code boundaries. This layer was created by Los Angeles County eGIS to align with parcel boundaries.ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan.Legal vs. Postal Cities: Many users confuse the name the Post Office delivers mail to (e.g. Van Nuys, Hollywood) as a legal city (in this case Los Angeles), when they are a postal city. The County contains 88 legal cities, and over 400 postal names that are tied to the ZIP Codes. To support usability and geocoding, we have attached the first 3 postal cities to each address, based upon its ZIP Code.The US Postal Service is the authoritative source for ZIP Code data. See their website for more information.

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.UPDATED: 6/20/24 - following the adoption of the East San Gabriel Valley Area Plan, the boundary between this planning area and the West San Gabriel Valley was modified to include three new unincorporated communities (North Whittier, Pellissier Village, and South El Monte).NEED MORE FUNCTIONALITY?

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: 3/19/25 for an annexation to the City of Duarte.NEED MORE FUNCTIONALITY?

California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) ecologists conducted field reconnaissance for this project and Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission assisted with field data collection. Under contract to the DFG, GreenInfo Network digitized a fine-scale vegetation map of the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve (BWER). The mapping study area consists of approximately 600 acres within Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve of Los Angeles County, California. CNPS under separate contract and in collaboration with California Department of Fish and Wildlife VegCAMP developed the floristic vegetation classification used for the project. The floristic classification follows protocols compliant with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and National Vegetation Classification Standards (NVCS).This map study was initiated to assist in restoration planning for the Ballona Wetland Enhancement Project, which aims to restore and enhance native habitats on BWER and provide public access and recreational opportunities. The primary purpose of CDFW’s goal of developing fine-scale digital vegetation maps is part of the California Biodiversity Initiative Roadmap of 2018. The mapping study area consists of approximately 600 acres within Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve of Los Angeles County, California. Reconnaissance was conducted by CDFW ecologists on May 9-11, 2006 to collect a preliminary list of vegetation types to accurately represent the study area. On June 13, 2006, I.K. Curtis Aerial Photography took a true color orthophoto at 1-foot pixel resolution (±1:16,800) under contract to the Coastal Conservancy and Brad Henderson (CDFW) combined the preliminary vegetation list to manually draw polygons overlaid the air photo. GreenInfo used the drawing and air photo for a digitized map draft of polygons to be verified and assessed by field crews for Vegetation Type, Percent Cover, Exotics, Development Disturbance, and other attributes on June 19-22, 2007. Field crews noted 8 exotic, invasive species in the map polygons worthy of special interest in regards to restoration planning decisions. Field reconnaissance enhanced map quality. There was a total of 61 mapping classes. No accuracy assessment of this map has been performed because ecologists visited every polygon in the field.
