Burbank Municipal Code Div. 1 Purpose and Definitions

This article creates the Rancho Master Plan Area which contains a series of zoning classifications for the East and West Rancho as defined by Resolution No. 23,893, which amended the General Plan and Land Use Element to reflect this area. All land use regulations and development standards for the Rancho Master Plan Area augment the land use regulation and development standards of the Burbank Municipal Code. The Rancho Master Plan regulates land zoned single family horsekeeping, commercial, commercial-recreational and existing industrial in the Rancho Master Plan Area for land use, density, height, setbacks, parking, landscaping, and design standards. When an issue, condition or situation is not covered or provided for in the Rancho Master Plans Zones Ordinance, the development regulations of the Burbank Municipal Code that are most applicable shall apply.
