Contribute your input to the updated draft of the Los Angeles County General Plan

The  Los Angeles  General Plan Update will guide growth and development in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County through the year 2035.  It provides a framework of goals, policies and implementation strategies centered on the theme of sustainability –  basically how to meet our current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their economic, social and environmental needs. Major policies include:

- Expanding Transit Oriented Districts (TODs) to focus growth in areas with existing infrastructure and access to transit choices.
- Promoting Mixed-Use to encourage higher-density commercial/residential development along identified major commercial corridors within proposed TODs.
- Expanding Significant Ecological Areas to ensure long-term biotic diversity in the County without precluding development in those areas.
- Creating Employment Protection Districts to ensure that valuable industrial land remains available for quality jobs-producing industries and businesses.
- Protecting Agricultural Resources by recognizing the importance of local agriculture and protecting it from incompatible surrounding development.
