The Planning & Transportation Division has prepared a draft update to the City of Burbank’s Wireless Telecommunications Facilities ordinance.  The update is intended to address the potential negative aesthetic impacts of wireless facilities while providing for the communication needs of Burbank residents and businesses.  Planning & Transportation staff invites all interested parties to submit comments on the proposed ordinance.

The draft is attached to this email and can be found on the website http://www.burbankca.gov/departments/community-development/planning-transportation  starting tomorrow.

A summary of community concerns and the proposed code sections which address these concerns are included at the beginning of this document.  Actual changes to the ordinance are noted in bold underlined text and strikethroughs.

Please note the the review and comment period has been extended from: December 9, 2014 to January 16, 2015.

Following the review period a community meeting will be held on January 14, 2015 at 6:00 PM at the Buena Vista Public Library located at 300 North Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91505.

Public hearings with the Planning Board and City Council are tentatively scheduled for February and March, respectively.  There will be additional opportunities to comment on the proposed ordinance prior to and at these hearings.
