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.

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.

PRC 4201 - 4204 and Govt. Code 51175-89 direct the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to map areas of significant fire hazards based on fuels, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. These zones, referred to as Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ), define the application of various mitigation strategies to reduce risk associated with wildland fires. CAL FIRE is remapping Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) for State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) recommendations in Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) to provide updated map zones, based on new data, science, and technology. This specific dataset provides FHSZs within SRA lands only, and represents the proposed zones, subject to changes based on local hearings. A subsequent dataset release will provide the actual adopted zones. Maps of the proposed zones in SRA are available at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/fhz.html More information about the project can be found at: http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/hazard.html

© CAL FIRE recoginzes the important contribution of various local government entities that contributed data, maps, and comments that were critical components of the FHSZ mapping process.

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.

Zoning is a locally regulated law that is used as a guideline for land management control and conformity by establishing specific policy that must be followed in the use of land and buildings. Zoning asserts explicit uses that are permitted under varying circumstances. It dictates reasonable development by protecting property from detrimental uses on nearby properties. Zoning also standardizes the size of lots, the building set backs from roads or adjoining property, maximum height of buildings, the population density, and other land use issues.Zoning is used to designate, regulate and restrict the location and use of buildings, structures and land, for agriculture, residence, commerce, trade, industry or other purposes; to regulate and limit the height, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures hereafter erected or altered to regulate and determine the size of yards and other open spaces and to regulate and limit the density of population; and for said purposes to divide the City into zones of such number, shape and area as may be deemed best suited to carry out these regulations and provide for their enforcement. These regulations are deemed necessary in order to encourage the most appropriate use of land; to conserve and stabilize the value of property; to provide adequate open spaces for light and air, and to prevent and fight fires; to prevent undue concentration of population; to lessen congestion on streets; to facilitate adequate provisions for community utilities and facilities such as transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and to promote health, safety, and the general welfare all in accordance with the comprehensive plan.For more information, please refer to Section 12.04 of the Los Angeles Planning and Zoning Municipal Code and the Generalized Summary of Zoning Regulations, City of Los Angeles.Refresh Rate: Monthly

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

This is a separate zoning layer from the rest of the county as it has different categories; referred to as "Land Use Districts." Santa Catalina Island falls under a specific plan, which designates land use districts for the UNINCORPORATED area of the island. These land use districts serve the same role as zones, but supersede the basic zones in Title 22. This has been in effect as of the adoption of the Santa Catalina Island Specific Plan in 1989.For information about the Catalina Zoning Categories, please see Volume III the Title 22 Zoning Code.NEED MORE FUNCTIONALITY?

An Opportunity Zone is generally an economically distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualified as Opportunity Zones if they were nominated for that designation by the State or Territory and that nomination was certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury via his delegation of that authority to the Internal Revenue Service. There are 8,764 Opportunity Zones in the United States, many of which have experienced a lack of investment for decades.The Opportunity Zone tax incentive will spur capital investment and economic development in low-income communities. First, investors can defer the taxation of certain prior gains invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) until the earlier of the date on which the investment in the QOF is sold or exchanged, or December 31, 2026. Second, if the QOF investment is held for at least 5 years, 10% of the gain that was originally deferred is eliminated completely. If the QOF investment is held for at least 7 years, an additional 5% (15% total) of the original deferred gain is eliminated completely. Third, if the investor holds the QOF investment at least ten years, when the investor sells or exchanges the investment, the investor is eligible to eliminate the gain on the QOF investment from any increase in value of the QOF investment during the investor’s holding period

Runway Protection Zone (RPZ): A trapezoidal area at ground level (formerly called a clear zone) extending from the end of a runway and centered on the extended centerline of the runway. Its purpose is to provide a safe, clear space for aircraft takeoffs and approaches, and to protect people and property on the ground. Please click here to see the Los Angeles County Airport Land Use Commission portion of our website for maps and documents. You can also refer to the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook for further information (see Figure 9K – Safety Compatibility Zone Examples; RPZs are shown as Zone 1 in the diagrams).Inner Safety Zone (ISZ - also referred to as “Inner Approach / Departure Zone"): The areas located at the ends of runways, immediately after and sometimes alongside the RPZs. Please refer to the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook for further information (see Figure 9K – Safety Compatibility Zone Examples; ISZs are shown as Zone 2 in the diagrams).SOURCE: Los Angeles County Airport Land Use Plan (adopted 1991 / revised 2004); Brackett Field Land Use Compatibility Plan (adopted 12/9/15).

The City has three State Enterprise Zones (SEZ): Los Angeles-Hollywood; East Los Angeles; and Harbor Gateway Communities. Each Zone provides business owners within the Zone boundaries with State incentives such as tax credits and deductions for hiring eligible employees, credits for sales and use taxes paid on qualifying machinery and electronic equipment, additional business expense deductions, and credits to lenders for loans made to Enterprise Zone businesses.
