Document Description
In the mid-1980s a community-based effort was initiated to create a Master Development Plan to balance commercial and residential growth, thus reducing traffic impacts in the region and providing design and aesthetic standards for the Warner Center area. That effort culminated in the adoption the Warner Center Specific Plan (WCSP - Ordinance Nos. 168873 and 168984) by the City Council in June 1993. Changes and amendments to the plan were adopted in 1997, 2000 and 2001. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Warner Center Specific Plan was certified in 1993 (State Clearinghouse House No. 1990011055). The EIR analyzed 21.5 million square feet of commercial space and 3,000 residential units in Phase I (2010). The Specific Plan required that further environmental review be conducted in 2011 prior to implementation of Phase II. When the Specific Plan was adopted in 1993, commercial growth in Warner Center was higher than residential growth. In order to encourage residential growth and create more balanced development, transportation fees and other restrictions were not required on residential projects as they were on commercial and industrial development. The 1993 WCSP limited Phase I commercial development to 21.5 million sf, however, there was no limit on the residential units allowed - except that the EIR only analyzed 3,000 units and therefore development in excess of the 3,000 units was required to conduct additional environmental analysis.
