What is a Neighborhood Protection Plan?
Neighborhood Protection Plans are a strategy established by the Burbank 2035 General Plan’s Mobility Element, Goal 6:
• Preserve livability of neighborhoods
• Discourage cut-through and spillover traffic and reduce demands on residential on-street parking
• Analyze existing or anticipated regional traffic caused by existing or proposed development near a neighborhood.
