South Los Angeles Area Planning Commission
The South Los Angeles Area Planning Commission is one of seven Area Planning Commissions in Los Angeles; each hears cases from its region, from certain smaller-scale projects to appeals. Its five commissioners are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council (CF 25-1200-S59), and it meets at the Council District 8 Constituent Service Center (Oct. 6, 2026 agenda).
