Business owners should do the following before
signing a lease for commercial space:
1. Verify that your business is a permitted use
based on the property zoning.
2. Check with Regional Planning to verify whether
there are any zoning violations in the center.
Regional Planning cannot accept or approve
your application until all violations have been
abated at the location.
3. Verify that there is sufficient parking in the
center and whether your business will require
additional parking. If the parking needs from
existing legal businesses already reach or
exceed the number of parking spaces allowed,
you need to obtain additional approvals from
Regional Planning.
Any of these issues may delay opening your
business even if you have already signed your
lease with the property owner. To protect your
interests, contact Regional Planning before you
sign your lease.

How to Request Street Lights Through
the Department of Public Works
(800) 618-7575 or write to:
Bill Winter, Assistant Deputy Director, Los Angeles County Department of Public Works,
Attn: Traffic & Lighting Division, P.O. Box 1460, Alhambra, CA 91802-1460
The Department of Public Works (DPW) administers the street lighting program which
is funded through property tax assessments. Southern California Edison (SCE) installs
the street lights and responds to maintenance calls. Upon receipt of a street lighting
request, DPW will:
• Determine if your area is part of an existing County Lighting District.
• If you are not in the district, DPW will prepare a petition for a community member
to circulate among the affected property owners. Annual assessments are $5 per
single-family homes, with higher rates for other land uses.
• Once the petition is signed by at least 60% of the property owners and verified by
DPW, an engineer’s report and a formal ballot proceeding is initiated. The ballots are
then sent out to the property owners within the petition area. If a majority of the
weighted ballots are returned in opposition to being part of the district, then the
proceeding is terminated. Otherwise, the territory becomes part of the lighting district
and street lights are generally installed by SCE within 4 to 6 months.
Note: To report a problem with an existing street light, contact SCE at (800) 611-1911.
