Local News in Brief : Apartment Issue to Go on Ballot in Burbank
- Share via
The Burbank City Council has voted to put a proposal aimed at controlling runaway apartment construction on the municipal ballot in February.
The proposal, introduced Tuesday by Councilwoman Mary Lou Howard, would limit zone changes requiring general plan amendments to once every five years, expand environmental review of apartment proposals to include more social and economic considerations, and require the study of more stringent apartment design standards and higher developer fees for parks and roads.
It also calls for more public comment on development through hearings.
Burbank developers have historically opposed controls.
