Chapter 1A of the Los Angeles Municipal Code

Preface

This Zoning Code (Chapter 1A) of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) serves as the new Zoning Code, a comprehensive update of the City's zoning system. The new Zoning Code will be applied 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 Zoning Code (Chapter 1A) will be applied to properties within each Community Plan area.

Eventually, this Zoning Code (Chapter 1A) will supersede and 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 updated will be regulated by the provisions of the Zoning Code found in existing Chapter I. (General Provisions and Zoning) of this LAMC. Only when the entire City has been rezoned using the new zoning in this Zoning Code (Chapter 1A) will Chapter I. (General Provisions and Zoning) be removed from the LAMC.
