Draft Plan
The Southwest Valley Community Plans Update consists of 3 main components: the Policy Text document, General Plan Land Use (GPLU) Designation Map, and Zoning Map. In October 2026, Los Angeles City Planning published the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Southwest Valley Community Plans Update. The DEIR is accompanied by updated drafts of the Community Plans’ GPLU and zoning maps, Policy Text documents, and topical handouts.
The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Southwest Valley will have a 45-day public comment period, through Sunday, November 22, 2026. For information on how to leave comments on the Draft EIR, please visit the Draft EIR webpage.
