Dear Stakeholder,
Today, Los Angeles City Planning is releasing updated draft land use designations for the three Community Plans of the Southwest Valley:
Canoga Park-Winnetka-Woodland Hills-West Hills,
Encino-Tarzana, and
Reseda-West Van Nuys-Lake Balboa.
You can explore the proposed land use designations in detail via the online StoryMap. The StoryMap tool is a guided experience that contains interactive maps and online feedback forms to make it easy for you to review the proposed content and share your comments.
As part of this release, the Southwest Valley team has developed a three-part video series to provide background information and answer questions you may have regarding the Community Plans Update.
