Description: This dataset can be used for two purposes:1. Geocoding addresses in LA County – this file currently geocodes > 99.5% of the addresses in our test files (5,000 out of 8 million addresses) using the County’s geocoding engines.This last statement is important– the County splits the street names and addresses differently than most geocoders. This means that you cannot just use this dataset with the standard ESRI geocoding (US Streets) engine. You can standardize the data to resolve this, and we will be publishing the related geocoding rules and engines along with instructions on how to use them, in the near future. Please review the data fields to understand this information.2. Mapping street centerlines in LA County – note that the street types in this file are not fully updated yet. Use with caution.This file should NOT be used for:Routing and network analysisJurisdiction and pavement managementFor more information, click here to see the Data Portal Entry

Description: This dataset provides the boundaries of LA City Neighborhood Councils.Neighborhood Councils are city-certified local groups made up of people who live, work, own property or have some other connection to a neighborhood. Neighborhood Council Board Members are elected or selected to their positions by the neighborhoods themselves.Neighborhood Council Board size various across the City from 7 to over 30 individuals depending on what the neighborhood believes will meet its needs. They hold regular meetings – at least one every three months. Many Councils hold meetings more often and have working committees as well.Neighborhood Councils receive public funds of $37,000 each year to support their activities. This may include creating events and programs that respond to the unique needs of their community or advocating on behalf of the issues they care about such as crime, roads and streets, the creation of safe spaces for children, gangs, and economic development.

Description: The Los Angeles County Office of Sustainability funded the development of this dataset in order to support the identification of potential locations for the installation of solar photovoltaic canopy modules across the County on commerical, industrial, and government properties. This dataset contains the boundaries of parking lots 5,000 square feet or greater.Pictometry International Corp used the 2014 LARIAC orthogonal imagery to delineate the boundaries of these parking lots. A parking lot was defined as a paved area for parking, incluse of internal median areas. The data did NOT include:rootop parking lots, non-paved parking lots, sidewalks and curbs, school playgrounds, structures that were within the parking lotLandscaping at the edges of parking lotsParcel informationOnce the boundaries were received, LA County intersected the parking lots with the December 2014 LA County Assessor Parcel file in order to add parcel ID and parcel use information. This will enable parking lot square footage to be reported for an individual parcel, as well as by the parcel type.

Name: Metro Local Lines through Downtown (Lines 2 to 96)
Display Field: VAR_ROUTE
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: The bus line shapefiles are generated from basic operating schedules for all trunk lines. Branch lines and short-lines are subsets of these lines. Example: Only Limited Line 344 is listed under Lim&Exp. The other Limited Routes (i.e., routes that skip stops) are branch lines that will be found under their parent trunk line (e.g., Limited Line 302 is a branch of Local Line 2).
The attribute file (dbf) of any bus line shapefile has a column, “Var_Route” which identifies the Trunk Line. A trunk line may have many rows associated with this Line. Each of these represent a trip pattern that may be assigned to a bus.
The attribute file also contains a column “Var_Descr” that further describes the trip pattern. A bus route that differs from the trunk line’s route (enough to be given its own Route number in the bus’ headsign) will be indicated in this column. In order to have a single bus line displayed on a map use your GIS software to highlight and/or export the trip patterns with that bus line’s name.
Description: The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) contains data on lands owned in fee by governments, non-profits and some private entities that are protected for open space purposes. Data includes all such areas in California, from small urban parks to large national parks and forests, mostly aligned to assessor parcel boundaries. Data is collected by Holdings (parcels) which are aggregated to Units (commonly named areas within a county) and Super Units (commonly named areas generally).

Description: These hazard zones depict flooding caused by a coastal storm. The processes considered include (1) storm surge (a rise in the ocean water level caused by waves and pressure changes during a storm), (2) wave run-up (waves running up the beach and over coastal property, calculated using the maximum historical wave conditions), (3) extreme lagoon water levels which can occur when lagoon mouths are closed and fill up during rainfall events, (4) additional flooding caused by rising sea level in the future, and (5) areas expected to erode be the given time horizon (see longterm erosion hazard layers). These hazard zones do NOT consider upland fluvial (river) flooding and local rain/run-off drainage, which likely play a large part in coastal flooding, especially around coastal confluences where the creeks meet the ocean. There are two types of inundation areas: (1) areas that are clearly connected over the existing digital elevation through low topography, (2) and other low-lying areas that don’t have an apparent connection, as indicated by the digital elevation model, but are low-lying and flood prone from groundwater levels and any connections (culverts, underpasses) that are not captured by the digital elevation model. This difference is captured in the “Connection” attribute (either “connected” or “connectivity uncertain”) in each dataset. We recommend these be mapped as separate colors. -------------------------------This feature is one in a series of coastal flood and erosion hazard zones developed as part of the Los Angeles County Coastal Hazard Modeling and Vulnerability Assessment.

Description: These zones represent cliff and dune (sandy shore) erosion hazard zones. The cliff-backed sections incorporate site-specific historic trends in erosion, additional erosion caused by accelerating sea level rise, and (in the case of the “erosion hazard zones with buffer”) an additional buffer corresponding to two standard deviations from the distribution of erosion rates alongshore was added on top of long term erosion distances. , The dune-backed (sandy) sections incorporate site-specific historic trends in erosion, additional erosion caused by accelerating sea level rise, and (in the case of the “storm erosion hazard zones”) the potential erosion impact of a large storm wave event.The inland extent of the hazard zones represent projections of the potential future cliff or sandy shore edge for a given sea level rise scenario, planning horizon, and erosion scenario. Not all areas within the hazard zone are expected to erode to this extent by the specified planning horizon, but any location has the potential to erode to this extent for the selected scenario.

Description: Ownership18_2 is derived from CAL FIRE's SRA18_2 dataset, and GreenInfo Network's California Protected Areas Database (CPAD17a). CAL FIRE tracks lands owned by federal agencies as part of our efforts to maintain fire protection responsibility boundaries, captured as part of our State Responsiblity Areas (SRA) dataset. This effort draws on data provided by various federal agencies including USDA Forest Service, BLM, National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Inidan Affairs. Since SRA lands are matched to county parcel data where appropriate, often federal land boundaries are also adjusted to match parcels, and may not always exactly match the source federal data. Federal lands from the SRA dataset are combined with ownership data for non-federal lands from CPAD, in order to capture lands owned by various state and local agencies, special districts, and conservation organizations. Data from CPAD are imported directly and not adjusted to match parcels or other features. However, CPAD features may be trimmed if they overlap federal lands from the SRA dataset.
Description: An accurate depiction of the spatial distribution of habitat types within California is required for a variety of legislatively-mandated government functions. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's CALFIRE Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), in cooperation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife VegCamp program and extensive use of USDA Forest Service Region 5 Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) data, has compiled the "best available" land cover data available for California into a single comprehensive statewide data set. The data span a period from approximately 1990 to 2014. Typically the most current, detailed and consistent data were collected for various regions of the state. Decision rules were developed that controlled which layers were given priority in areas of overlap. Cross-walks were used to compile the various sources into the common classification scheme, the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) system.
Description: For more information, see the Species Biodiversity Summary Factsheet at http://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=152834The user can view a list of species potentially present in each hexagon in the ACE online map viewer https://map.dfg.ca.gov/ace/. Note that the names of some rare or endemic species, such as those at risk of over-collection, have been suppressed from the list of species names per hexagon, but are still included in the species counts.The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) is a compilation and analysis of the best-available statewide spatial information in California on biodiversity, rarity and endemism, harvested species, significant habitats, connectivity and wildlife movement, climate vulnerability, climate refugia, and other relevant data (e.g., other conservation priorities such as those identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), stressors, land ownership). ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.
