LA County does not use the LA City TOC tier system; instead, individual community plans add Transit-Oriented District (TOD) overlays under LACO Title 22, while Metro Joint Development sets terms for housing on Metro-owned parcels near rail.
Unlike LA City's Measure JJJ tier program, unincorporated LA County does not have a countywide Transit-Oriented Communities ordinance. Instead, transit-supportive development is enabled three ways: (1) parcel-specific Transit-Oriented District overlays adopted within community plans (e.g., West Athens-Westmont, East Los Angeles); (2) Metro's Joint Development program, which leases agency-owned land near rail stations to affordable-housing developers under negotiated ground leases; and (3) state law SB-35 streamlining and AB-2011 commercial-corridor by-right approvals near transit. Density bonuses under Title 22.140.250 still apply on top of any TOD overlay incentives.
TOD-overlay projects that fail to record affordability covenants or under-deliver income-restricted units face permit revocation, fines, and recapture of granted incentives.
