Long Range Planning

Long Range Planning is the City's long-range policy and strategic planning activities, which include analyzing and preparing various documents through a public process such as the City's General Plan, Specific Plans, zoning regulations, and other land use studies.

The Burbank2035 General Plan (PDF), a "blueprint" for the City's land use goals and policies, affects a wide range of issues including housing, traffic circulation and mobility, parks and recreation, resource conservation, and public safety. Burbank2035 anticipates and plans for change occurring in the community and should be continually revised to be meaningful and relevant based on the current state of the community, with an eye toward the future.
