Single-Family Neighborhood Compatibility and Design
On January 24, 2017, the City Council adopted new single-family development standards and design guidelines for all R-1 (Single-Family Residential) and R-1-H (Single-Family Residential Horsekeeping) zoned properties, including the Hillside area. A copy of the meeting agenda, staff report, and a video of the meeting is available online. With input from Burbank residents, the primary purpose for the regulations are to: (1) address concerns with bulk and mass of single-family home additions and new construction, and (2) provide options for architectural variety while maintaining neighborhood compatibility. Instead of creating a separate design review board or process, the intent is to incorporate this review into the Single-Family Special Development Permit and/or the Hillside Development Permit review process.
