Project Review Process
The Planning Division reviews private development applications for conformance with City plans, ordinances and policies related to zoning, design, neighborhood compatibility, land use, subdivision of land, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
The process also includes preliminary review by other City Departments, such as Fire, Building & Safety, Transportation, Public Works, Burbank Water & Power, Parks and Recreation, and Police.
Research and Inquire
Research the property/properties for your potential project to understand the applicable zoning and land use regulations including development standards and allowable uses, and any potential circumstances that could impact your project.
For assistance with property research or to clarify information, please contact the Planning Division.
Determine what process and land use entitlement(s) will be required for your project.
Depending on the project type, a Planning Permit may not be required before submitting for Building Plan Check.
After Steps 1 and 2, complete the required application forms, including plan submittal requirements, fee, and any supporting documentation required per the application submittal requirements listed on the application.
