Current Planning & Zoning
The City of Burbank has land use and development policies, guidelines, and regulatory documents that guide the physical, environmental, and economic development of the community. The City Council adopts these documents after involvement of the community and appointed and elected officials.
General Plan
Specific and Master Plans
The Zoning Code is Chapter 10 of the Burbank Municipal Code and consists of land use regulations enacted in order to promote the public health, safety, peace, comfort, convenience, prosperity, and welfare of the City and its inhabitants.
