Title
VAN NUYS CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT COMMUNITY DESIGN OVERLAY
Subject
Motion - Van Nuys Boulevard is a major corridor running through the heart of the San Fernando Valley. This Boulevard has always served as an important part of the economic growth of Van Nuys. Councilmember Miscikowski in 2000 introduced a motion to institute changes along the Boulevard that would eventually lead to the development of the Van Nuys Central Business District Community Design Overlay (CDO). Due to that motion, we have slowly started to see improvements in the quality of the buildings and the businesses along the portion of Van Nuys Boulevard that the CDO covers. The Van Nuys CDO covers the area on Van Nuys Boulevard from Calvert Street to Vanowen Street. There are a few gaps along Van Nuys Boulevard that would benefit from extending the CDO to cover those areas and star a uniform design and upgrade to Van Nuys Boulevard. THEREFORE MOVE that the City Planning Department be instructed to prepare an amendment to extend the Van Nuys Central Business District CDO to include the commercial areas south to Oxnard Street and north to the railroad tracks (north of Keswick Street). FURTHER MOVE that the City Planning Department be instructed to amend the guidelines/regulations on storefront signage, relating to sign square footage, on Van Nuys Boulevard to be comparable with the Ventura Boulevard Specific Plan.
