The Burbank City Council adopted the Burbank2035 General Plan in 2013, which identifies the City’s overall community vision as well as specific goals, policies, and implementation actions that support this vision. The Burbank2035 General Plan’s Mobility Element identifies specific goals, policies, and standards to direct the development of the City’s transportation network. In accordance with the 2008 California Complete Streets Act, the Mobility Element also includes specific complete streets policies to support safe mobility for all types of users, of all ages, all abilities, and all disabilities, and who travel using all modes of transportation.
In 2020, the City Council adopted the Citywide Complete Streets Plan. The Complete Streets Plan provides actionable plans to support the Burbank2035 General Plan's Mobility Element, by providing guidance for all improvements in the public right-of-way.
In order to achieve and implement the goals of the Burbank2035 General Plan Mobility Element and the Complete Streets Plan via objective development standards, in 2023 the City Council adopted the Complete Streets Objective Development Standards (“CSODS”). The CSODS apply to any development project submitted to the City for discretionary or ministerial review and/or approval, if the development project includes elements that connect to or otherwise require access to or within the City’s transportation network.
The documents on this page are provided to assist project applicants in meeting these objective standards. To streamline project review, the City requests applicants submit a completed CSODS Questionnaire as part of the application process. City plans and standards are provided for reference.
