Chapter 1A of the Los Angeles Municipal Code

This Chapter 1A of the Los Angeles Municipal Code represents the new Zoning Code, a comprehensive rethink of the City's zoning system. The new Zoning Code will be implemented incrementally on a geographic basis through the update of the City's Community Plans. In drafting the revised Plans, the new zoning tools provided in this Chapter 1A will be applied to properties within each Community Plan Area.

Eventually, Chapter 1A will serve as the only Zoning Code for Los Angeles. However, in the interim, until all the Community Plans have been updated and properties remapped using the new zoning system, properties in Community Plan Areas not yet rezoned into this Zoning Code will be regulated by the provisions of the Zoning Code found in Chapter 1 of the LAMC. Only when the entire City has been rezoned using the new zoning in this Chapter 1A will Chapter 1 be removed from the Los Angeles Municipal Code.
