County SB272 Enterprise System Catalog

[Senate Bill No. 272] approved on October 11, 2015 adds a section to the California Public Records Act requiring local agencies to create a catalog of enterprise systems by July 1, 2016 with annual updates. New information technology has dramatically changed the way people search for and expect to find information in California. This technology has unlocked great potential for government to better serve the people it represents. A recent study estimated that digitizing government data could generate one trillion dollars in economic value worldwide through cost savings and improved operational performance. California plays a vitally important role in moving our nation forward in the world of technology. Just as the state’s thriving tech industry surges ahead in setting new standards for society, so too must California. As several nations, states, and cities have begun to embrace policies of online access to public sector data, they have enjoyed the benefits of increased operational efficiency and better collaboration. Here in California, cities across the state are turning internally gathered and maintained data into usable information for the public to access and leverage for the benefit of their communities. In moving government to a more effective digital future, standards should be adopted to ensure that data collection and publication are standardized, including uniform definitions for machine-readable data. Online portals should also be developed to assist with public access to collected data. With a public sector committed to success in the digital age, the residents and businesses of California will stand to benefit from the greater collaboration and integration, improved accountability, and increased productivity that will result. In making California government more accessible to the people of the state, paragraph (7) of subdivision (b) of Section 3 of Article I of the California Constitution requires local governments to comply with the California Public Records Act and with any subsequent statutory enactment amending that act and furthering that purpose. [Visit California Legislature for more information on Senate Bill No. 272] An "enterprise system" is a software application or computer system that collects, stores, exchanges and analyzes information that the agency uses that is both of the following: * A multi-departmental system or a system that contains information collected about the public, and * A system that serves as an original source of data within an agency.

Los Angeles County Housing Element (2021-2029) - County-Owned Projects in Cities

These are county-owned projects that lie within incorporated cities. They help count towards the RHNA for the latest Housing Element. This layer was generated from parcels and aggregated to form one project boundary. Below is a description of this data from the [Housing Element] (specifically, page [207]): While the County has land use jurisdiction in unincorporated Los Angeles County, it also owns land in cities within Los Angeles County. Through interjurisdictional partnerships, the County has used these sites to increase opportunities for interim and permanent housing. As a strategy to accommodate the RHNA, the County includes the capacity or planned development on County-owned sites in cities, where the County is the authority to approve planning entitlements and issue building permits pursuant to the County’s sovereign immunity, as established by California Government Code §53090 and 53091. Zoning and land use regulations for cities do not apply to these sites.
Trail Slope

This feature class contains detailed trail surface information such as trail setting, trail type, trail width, trail composition, erosional features, use, % slope, classification and maintenance features/recommendations. The trail is broken into small sections based on the above attribution. A change to any one of the attributes listed above results in closing out and starting a new feature. For instance, if a section of trail changes from 5 feet wide to 8 feet, the 5 foot section is closed out and a new feature is created and attributed with the 8 foot width.Since many small trail features make up an entire trail, segment and trail ID's have be created to aid in generalizing each trail. Trails are also broken up into segments. Trails are segmented to capture major trail type and surface changes. For instance, if the initial section of a trail is generally within a flood control channel and then comes out into a natural setting, the trail would be segmented in order to segregate that section of trail as flood control channel. All data was collected using a Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 GPS receiver. Data was post processed using the Differential Correction utility in Trimble's Pathfinder Office software. Horizontal accuracy percentages for processed data are as follows.5 to 15cm - 55%15 to 30cm - 5%15 to 30cm - 20%.5 to 1m - 17%1 to 2m - 3%Linear sufface data was further post processed to align with LARIAC Imagery.

Disaster Management Areas

Los Angeles County serves as the intermediate level of government that coordinates and communicates disaster response needs between the eighty-eight (88) cities within its geographic boundaries and the State of California. The County is divided into eight Disaster Management Areas (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) with each city belonging to one of them. Each Disaster Management Area is overseen by a Disaster Management Area Coordinator. Most Disaster Management Areas are comprised of more than one polygon. The polygons are merged in this dataset to form multipart polygons. The Disaster Management Area boundaries follow city boundaries, with the exception of a small portion of Area C. In the northern part of Area C, a small section of the boundary follows the Angeles National Forest boundary and another section of the boundary above Altadena and Kinneloa Mesa follows features of the landscape, such as canyons, drainage, and trails. Fields DMA (Text, 6): Disaster Management Area Maintenance * Dataset updated: 20190327: Revised boundaries to align with most recent version of DPW_COUNTY_BOUNDARY and DPW_CITY_BOUNDARIES. * New dataset created: 20151112 by County of Los Angeles Chief Executive Office/Information Technology Services to match the boundaries of the official DPW_CITY_BOUNDARIES dataset in the eGIS_Boundaries_Political database and portions of the Area C boundary from the original Disaster Managment Areas dataset created 20031113. * Original dataset updated: 20080623 * Original dataset updated: 20050210 * Original dataset created: 20031113 by County of Los Angeles Chief Executive Office/Office of Emergency Management Contact gis@ceooem.lacounty.gov
2010 Census Tracts

What is unique about LA County’s data? It is clipped to the ocean boundary. Raw Census data includes a 3 mile buffer into the ocean, which impacts cartography. IMPORTANT! It has been updated to the 2012 Census Geography Update, which merged Tracts 1370.00 and 9304.01 into the combined tract 1370.00. So the CT10 field actually reflects the 2012 Census update, which is used for all population products 2012 and later. How was this data created? This data was downloaded from Census Bureau website: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/file-download and clipped to the County Boundary using ESRI’s ArcGIS Desktop. Two new fields were added in census tract data – area in square feet and shape length in feet. This dataset has unique identifier field “GEOID10” for each record and the census tract number fields “CT10” and “LABEL” (6-digit number and 6-digit number with decimal point, respectively).
DPSS_Service_Boundaries

This group of layers are a geographic representation of the service boundaries for each of the programs administered by the LA County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS). Each DPSS district office is responsible for tracking and auditing the cases that fall within their boundaries. The following are the DPSS programs that have a service boundary: - CalFresh - CalWORKS - Medi-Cal - IHSS - GROW - General Relief - GAIN - CAPI Please note that these layers are subject to change as DPSS sees fit and without prior notice. For more information on these programs, please visit https://dpss.lacounty.gov/.
SCAG Regions

This file contains the official subregional boundaries for the SCAG region (Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside and Imperial counties). The file has been updated as of 08/13 to incorporate changes in WRCOG and CVAG in County of Riverside. All subregional boundaries are consistent with the 2012 city boundaries whenever they overlap. The SCAG Data Services Program was initiated and organized starting in the late 1980s with the goal of being the preeminent source of information for the Southern California region. The purpose of the program is to derive and promote a model policy for distributing geospatial data and other information developed and maintained at SCAG. We believe so strongly in providing this service to stakeholders that we have incorporated this philosophy into our Ten Year Strategic Plan. Our services are available to government agencies and private businesses without any fees. Our information is used by local government, public agencies, consultants, academia, students and the general public. Our information is designed for use in plans, studies, analyses, and presentations.

Fire Hazard Responsibility Areas

PRC 4201 - 4204 and Govt. Code 51175-89 direct the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) to map areas of significant fire hazards based on fuels, terrain, weather, and other relevant factors. These zones, referred to as Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ), define the application of various mitigation strategies to reduce risk associated with wildland fires. CAL FIRE is remapping Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ) for State Responsibility Areas (SRA) and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) recommendations in Local Responsibility Areas (LRA) to provide updated map zones, based on new data, science, and technology. This specific dataset provides FHSZs within SRA lands only, and represents the proposed zones, subject to changes based on local hearings. A subsequent dataset release will provide the actual adopted zones. Maps of the proposed zones in SRA are available at:[http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/fhz.html]More information about the project can be found at:[http://frap.cdf.ca.gov/projects/hazard/hazard.html]
