Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:
I am planning on adding 1,220 square feet to an existing fast-food restaurant. Will there be any transportation or traffic impact fees?

Answer:
Dear, Sir or Madam,

Thank you for using our website.

Without knowing any specifics or details of this project, a traffic impact study may be required. Thus, any fees associated with that study would have to be determined at that time. If you have any additional questions regarding a traffic impact study, please contact Mr. Suen Fei Lau of our Traffic and Lighting Division's Traffic Studies Section at (626) 300-4820.

Before we get to this point however, it will be necessary for you to go through the proper channels; as other agencies will/may be involved, and different fees associated with those agencies may apply.

To start, we suggest you work with the Department of Regional Planning (DRP) at (213) 974-6483. Their office is located at 320 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

The DRP will then direct you as to what is required of you and/or refer you to the correct Divisions within our Department.
