Community members living on the Westside of the City no longer need to drive to Van Nuys or Downtown for basic planning services. The City Planning Department has joined City Departments at the West Los Angeles Development Services Center (DSC) to provide a full suite of development services.

Located at 1828 Sawtelle Boulevard, the West Los Angeles DSC provides a variety of planning-related services for businesses owners and residents, including: information about zoning, filing of entitlements and sign-off of permits.

The opening of the West Los Angeles DSC is the first new customer service center in decades for the Planning Department. It will serve more than 1,000 customers each month, providing a convenient point of consultation for projects requiring planning review.

At the public counter, applicants can consult with staff during all phases of a development project. To provide the necessary technical expertise, the West Los Angeles DSC is comprised of experienced professionals familiar with all types of development cases and their assigned geographic area.

In June, the West Los Angeles DSC services will expand services to include appointments for case filing and condition clearance for City Planning Commission, Area Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, Advisory Agency, and Director Determination cases.

The Office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  (Source:  LA Planning Website)
