LA County Code Title 22.06 establishes three agricultural zones for unincorporated areas: A-1 light agriculture, A-2 heavy agriculture, and A-2-H heavy agriculture with hog ranches. These zones cover most farming in Antelope Valley and Santa Clarita Valley.
Title 22.06 of the LA County Code sets the unincorporated agricultural zoning scheme. A-1 (light agricultural) allows crops, orchards, dairies, and one-family dwellings on minimum 1- or 2-acre lots. A-2 (heavy agricultural) permits broader commercial operations including feed yards, slaughter, and packing on 5-acre minimums. A-2-H additionally allows hog ranches with conditional-use permits. Most A-zoned land sits in Antelope Valley (Lancaster, Palmdale fringe) and Santa Clarita Valley unincorporated areas. Setback rules require structures housing animals to sit 35 feet from property lines. Conditional-use permits are required for slaughter, rendering, and similar intensive uses.
Operating prohibited uses outside zone authority triggers Title 22 zoning enforcement: notice to abate, civil fines up to $1,000 per day, and code-enforcement liens. Unpermitted intensive-agriculture structures face building-permit penalties and possible removal orders.
