This document is designed to support the use of the Internet version of the Zone Information and Map Access System (ZIMAS), available through the Web site of the City of Los Angeles, Department of City Planning. By using the latest technologies to link together digital maps and databases, ZIMAS can access and display information from large databases to many users quickly and efficiently - over the Internet. This reduces redundancy and duplication of effort performed by different departments and users.

Property Address (House Number and Street Name)
Street Intersection (Two Street Names)
Assessor Parcel Number (Book-Page-Parcel)
Legal Description (Tract-Block-Lot)
Case Number (Department of City Planning Cases)
Community Plan Area (Select From List of Community Names)
