Burbank2035: General Plan Land Use
MEDIA DISTRICT COMMERCIAL
(Maximum 1.1 FAR, 58 units per acre with discretionary approval) The Media District Commercial area is a regional employment center comprised of a variety of media‐
oriented and commercial uses. In response to the development of several high‐rise buildings and to limit traffic impacts in the area, the Media Distri ct Specific Plan was adopted in 1991. While much of the
existing development in the Media District exceeds a
1.1 FAR, new development is limited to 1.1 FAR,
consistent with the MDSP, to limit traffic and other impacts to adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Supplemental land use goals and policies are
provided in the Media Dist
rict Specific Plan.
GOLDEN STATE COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL
(Maximum 1.25 FAR, 27 units per acre with discretionary approval) The Golden State Commercial/Industrial area, located to the south and east of the Bob Hope Airport, has traditionally served as the City’s industrial hub. However, in more recent years this area has been developed with a variety of commercial uses complimentary to the airport and media related businesses. New development in
this area will be subject to an FAR of 1.25. The City seeks to introduce additional commercial uses that serve the airport, protect remaining industrial spaces, and introduce the possibility of niche residential (e.g., lofts, live‐ work spaces) that are compatible with the industrial character of the area. The City anticipates developing a specific plan for this area in the future.
GOAL 12 GOLDEN STATE COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL LAND USE
The Golden State Commercial/Industrial corridor continues to support a diverse range of employment opportunities, playing a key role in the Ci
ty’s economy.

Policy 12.2 Maintain a balance between light and heavy industrial uses to ensure that adequate land remains available for heavy industrial uses while accommodating expa nding and
emerging light industrial businesses.
Policy 12.3 Ensure that a balanced mix of commercial and industrial uses is provided in the area.
Policy 12.4 Integrate transit, walking, biking, and other alternative transit modes into existing development where feasible.
Policy 12.5 Future projects with housing shall be subject to a discretionary review process to ensur e that the project supports economic diversity, encourages community arts and culture, and/or provides for affordable housing.
Policy 12.6 Within the Airport Influence Area, encourage land uses that are compatible with the Bob Hope Airport. Projects occurring within the Airport Influence Area should be compatible with the ado
pted Los Angeles County Airport Land Use Plan.
