We want to hear from you! Hollywood Burbank Airport is hosting a series of public workshops (called charrettes) to gather community feedback and help shape the design and functionality of the 14-gate replacement passenger terminal (RPT) and replacement parking structures. We thank the hundreds of community members who have participated so far. Your continued feedback is extremely important to the Airport, and we are very grateful for your time and input.
The Airport is excited to announce the inclusion of the charrettes program to the communities of Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles, as well as the details of the continuation of the charrette workshops in Burbank. These workshops will focus on design principles and themes for the replacement passenger terminal, the same topic as charrette #2 held in Burbank on May 1.
Charrette #3 in Burbank will focus on large-scale design features and build upon the early alternatives and themes developed by the community at the first two charrettes.
Each charrette will begin with a presentation followed by a series of interactive workshops to collect community ideas for the design of the replacement passenger terminal. It is encouraged that participants plan to stay the duration of the charrette workshop.

The Community Plan Update Committee of the NCVV Board will meet on Monday June 3 at Faith Presbyterian Church.

This important set of guidelines will govern development in our area for the next 10 years
As you may recall over 100 Valley Village stakeholders packed the first meeting at North Hollywood Library and participated in group discussions about preserving character and sense of community in future development. In addition to the original meeting, NCVV’s Community Plan Update Committee helped collect over 250 additional surveys that were submitted to the Planning Department.
The impact of this outstanding public input has given important guidance to the Planning Department. On Monday night we will have a first opportunity to see how this input was incorporated into proposed updates to the Community Plan.
Please join the Community Plan Update Committee on Monday, June 3 at 7pm for this important presentation.
