lacoplanningIn December 1922, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted ordinances establishing the Regional Planning Commission, and in January 1923, appointed the first Regional Planning Commissioners to provide planning services to the unincorporated areas of the County and to coordinate plans among cities.  It is the first regional planning commission in the United States.

The Commission has pioneered in planning techniques and operation procedure: it adopted the first County Zoning Ordinance in the United States in 1927, Subdivision Ordinance in 1933, and many master plans of land use, highway, coastal development, airports and parks to systematically and comprehensively guide the growth of the Los Angeles County.  Leading the County into the 21st century, the Commission put in place the Green Building Program and is moving forward to complete the Los Angeles County 2035 General Plan, which builds stronger and healthier communities.

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors commends the Regional Planning Commission on its 90th Anniversary for its contribution in shaping the development of Los Angeles County and for its 90 years of dedicated service to its residents.
