About the Golden State Neighborhood Protection Plan

The Golden State Neighborhood Protection Plan (NPP) area is generally bounded by the Hollywood-Burbank Airport on the west, Cohasset Street and Interstate 5 to the north, Buena Vista Street to the east, Vanowen Street and Pacific Avenue to the south.

Following concerns raised by residents in the Golden State neighborhood near Empire Avenue, the City Council directed staff to prepare a neighborhood protection plan to address potential impacts from new residential development. This NPP effort will be developed concurrently with the preparation of the upcoming Golden State Specific Plan (GSSP). 

At present, there is no NPP that appropriately encompasses the geographical area that comprises the neighborhoods under consideration. When the Burbank2035 General Plan was adopted in 2013, it established the Empire Center and Magnolia Park NPPs. However, neither of their boundaries provide the necessary extent to cover residential streets that could be affected by future development from the GSSP.

The Golden State NPP will be carried out in two separate phases, with Phase 1 currently underway and convering the area north of Empire Avenue, east of Lincoln Street, west of Ontario Street., and south of San Fernando Boulevard.
