City of Burbank General Plan Update!
25. September 2007 by Burbank Real Estate.
City of Burbank has a General Plan that sets out goals and is essentially a policy guide for growth and development. Whatever is in this plan will serve as a blueprint for all future development.
The Planning and Transportation Devision is in the process of updating this plan and will hold a special City Council and Planning Board joint study session to discuss the housing element update.
According to state law this element has to be updated and what’s interesting is that Burbank has to show that it can plan for “it’s fair share” of housing based on regional needs. One of the proposals is to increase residential densities, another is to allow residential in commercial areas and/or a blend of these two alternatives.
Either way, it’s an issue that directly affects our quality of life.
I do think that any proposals to increase housing densities needs to have an adequate transportation plan to go with it. The inability to create a viable and executable transportation plan along with a housing density increase will negatively impact Burbank residents.
If you are interested in attending, here are the details:
Date: Tuesday, October 2, 2007
Time: 6:00 p.m. (regular City Council meeting time)
Place: City Council Chamber, Burbank City Hall, 275 E. Olive Avenue, Burbank, California
If you are unable to attend the meeting, please tune into the local city channel (channel 6 on Charter Cable) for the live feed of the meeting.
