Malcolm, review this Procedure to project from NAD 1983 State Plane feet to WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (Los Angeles County, CA): When using the PROJECT utility, make sure to select the Geographic Transformation necessary to convert data between two geographic coordinate systems or datums. Select the Geographic Transformation NAD_1983_to_WGS_1984_5 or a more recent NAD_1983_to_WGS_1984_# 1.
