§ 1.5

A. Intent

the land use and development regulations outlined in this Zoning code (chapter 1A) provide responsive zoning solutions to many planning policy objectives. typically, these provisions apply in a geographically-specific manner through mapped zoning districts, Specifc Plans, Supplemental Districts, Special Zones, and other types of land designations. this collection of public right-ofway and parcel-specific maps is referred to as the Zoning code Maps. Zoning code Maps enable the city to effectively coordinate the application of regulations by establishing zoning districts, Specifc Plans, Supplemental Districts, or other land designations through which geographic planning objectives can be addressed and further enhance the regulatory tools provided by this Zoning code (chapter 1A).

B. Maintenance and Access

1. Adoption & Maintenance of Zoning Code Maps

Zoning code Maps shall be created pursuant to Sec. 13B.1.3. (Zoning Code Amendment) and amended as established for each Zoning code Map.

a. Zoning Code Maps

the maps established in this Division (Zoning Code Maps) , maintained by the Department, published as layers of digital files that are part of its Geographic information Systems database, shall:

• i. Delineate the boundaries of the various zoning districts, Specifc Plans, Supplemental Districts, Special Zones, and other types of land designations through which regulations in this Zoning code (chapter 1A) are made applicable.

• ii. include all matters, notations, and representations.

• iii. When adopted and approved, are incorporated and made a part hereof, as if fully set forth herein, and collectively constitute the official Zoning code Maps.

b. Record of Changes

All changes to Zoning code Maps shall be made by updating the digital file for each change with the date of the change. All amendments to official Zoning code Maps shall be maintained by the Department, and made available to the public. Zoning code Maps shall be marked pursuant to a system of identification established by the Department.

c. Scale of Map

Zoning code Maps shall be maintained in the city’s adopted datum, maintained by the Department of Public Works, Bureau of engineering. Where a boundary is not a street,

alley or lot line, or where property indicated on the Zoning code Map is not subdivided into lots and blocks, the boundary on the Zoning code Map is determined by the scale and projection contained on the map and any metadata included as part of the Geographic information Systems database file.

d. Land Base Dataset

the Department of Public Works, Bureau of engineering is responsible for reviewing identifying, and updating the city's public and private land records, and establishes and maintains the city's land base dataset used by the Department of city Planning. the Department of city Planning shall make the necessary adjustment to the Zoning code Maps as updates to the land base dataset are issued.

e. Annexations

if the city's jurisdiction is amended, changes in the Zoning code Map shall be identified by updating the Geographic information Systems database file with the date of the change.

2. Accessing Zoning Code Maps

Zoning code Maps can be accessed electronically through the Department’s Zoning information and Map Access System (ZiMAS), or on the Zoning code Maps in the Department’s Map Gallery on the Department website. Hard copies of Zoning code Maps can be made available by visiting one of the Department’s Development Services centers and making a reproduction request with payment of any applicable fees.

Introductory Provisions | Article 1 Div. 1.5. (Zoning Code Maps)

City of Los Angeles Zoning Code Chapter 1A

A. Purpose

1. Zoning Districts

in order to regulate the use and development of property, as provided for in this Zoning code (chapter 1A), land is designated with the following districts for zoning purposes. the zone of a lot is separated into two or more bracket sets [ ] in order to reinforce the separation of the built environment from the types of activities as two distinct permissions on a lot. the first bracket set contains the zoning districts that determine the built environment, and the second bracket set contains the zoning districts that determine the types of activities on a lot. Although the zoning districts may refer, or have standards that are tied, to other districts, each is independent and are combined in response to the variety of planning needs found throughout the city.

[Form – Frontage – Standards] [Use – Density]

• a. Form Districts are outlined in Article 2. (Form) .

• b. Frontage Districts are outlined in Article 3. (Frontage) .

• c. Development Standards Districts are outlined in Article 4. (Development Standards) .

• d. Use Districts are outlined in Article 5. (Use) .

• e. Density Districts are outlined in Article 6. (Density) .

2. Alternate Typologies

the zoning districts established in this Zoning code (chapter 1A) recognize that, in general, the physical form of development need not be determined by its use. there are certain cases, however, in which the physical form that development takes is directly tied to a specific use or activity. in those cases, Article 7. (Alternate Typologies) outlines a series of regulatory solutions that overrides specific regulations otherwise addressed by zoning districts applied to a lot. each Alternate typology establishes eligibility parameters for each option, and what metrics it supersedes from the applicable zoning districts.

3. Specific Plans & Supplemental Districts

in addition to the provisions of Paragraph 1. (Zoning Districts) above, additional regulations may be applied as outlined in Div. 8.1. (Specific Plans (SP)) and Div. 8.2. (Supplemental Districts) . these are represented in a third bracket set of the zoning using the acronym "SP" for Specifc Plans or the acronyms established for the respective Supplemental District. the third bracket set may include multiple Specifc Plans or Supplemental Districts separated by a hyphen (-).

(Zoning Districts) and Supplemental Districts in Sec. 1.5.2.A.3. (Specific Plans & Supplemental Districts) established above. Special Zones respond to unique conditions and stipulate land use and development requirements or incentives tailored to distinctive qualities that may not lend themselves to the regulations established in this Zoning code (chapter 1A), except as outlined within each Special Zone.

• b. the Special Zones outlined in Div. 8.3. (Special Zoning) shall serve as the designated zone, in lieu of zoning districts, Specifc Plans, and Supplemental Districts, where applied.

• c. lots zoned with Special Zones shall have a maximum of two bracket sets [ ]. the first bracket set shall state the name of the Special Zone. the second bracket set may include multiple Specifc Plans or Supplemental Districts separated by a hyphen (-). in instances in which a lot is zoned only with a Special Zone, only one bracket set shall be included.

5. Zoning of Annexed or Unzoned Land

• a. All land or territory annexed to the city after the effective date of this Zoning code (chapter 1A), where applied, is automatically classified [VN1-MU3-3][rG2-1l] unless the city council specifically determines otherwise, including as provided in paragraph b. , below.

• b. the city council may establish specific zoning by ordinance for land or territory to be annexed. the zoning ordinance may be adopted prior to annexation or concurrently with the annexation. Unless the specific zoning is established by ordinance, the Zoning Map shall be amended to indicate the land or territory annexed as [VN1-MU3-3][rG2-1l] without additional proceedings.

• c. Any land or territory in the city not indicated on the Zoning Map as being in any zone shall be construed as being classified in the same zone that exists on a lot on the opposite side of the street or highway of the subject land or territory, and the Zoning Map shall be amended to indicate that zone without additional proceedings.

B. Boundaries

1. Street, Alley or Lot Lines

Zone boundaries occur at street, alley, or lot lines unless otherwise shown on the Zoning Map, using the land base dataset, and where the indicated boundaries on the Zoning Map are approximately a street, alley or lot line, the street, alley or lot line are the boundaries of the zone.
