GIS and Mapping

Maps and location information are very important to the Community Development Department. The Department was an early adopter of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology and use it on a daily basis to support staff and citywide efforts.

The GIS Team has created applications for:

  • Viewing and investigating zoning

  • Land use policy

  • Subdivision activity

  • Aerial imagery

  • And more about land use within Torrance

These applications also allow the user to leverage the maps in various ways. If you have questions for us, you can send us an email.
