AI-Powered Zoning Assistant
Streamlining property zoning research with an AI assistant that provides instant access to LA County zoning regulations
The Challenge
Construction companies spend significant time manually researching zoning laws and property restrictions for each new project. This process involves navigating complex government systems and documentation, leading to project delays and potential compliance risks.
Our Approach
We developed an AI-powered zoning assistant that automatically retrieves and interprets property information and zoning regulations. The system combines automated data collection from Zone Information and Map Access System (ZIMAS) with an intelligent chatbot that provides instant, accurate answers to zoning queries, complete with relevant legal citations.
Results & Impact
The AI zoning assistant has revolutionized the property research process, cutting research time by 90% while ensuring perfect compliance with regulations. Projects can now move from planning to execution significantly faster, with complete confidence in zoning compliance.
