Neighborhood overview
Magnolia Park is in Burbank, California. The Magnolia Park commercial zones and the residential streets next to them.
The code's MPC-1 zone is meant for retail and office uses in a pedestrian-oriented village concept, and it allows homes above shops on the same property. The MPC-2 zone allows businesses that draw on both arterial traffic and the adjacent residential areas, plus offices and mixed-use residential projects. The rules were added in 1998.
The Burbank Municipal Code sets out the Magnolia Park commercial zones (MPC-1 and MPC-2), and the City's zoning map shows which parcels are in them. The City's planning page lists them among the master plans and overlays adopted to preserve and enhance key neighborhoods.
Homes & property types
Single-family homes on the residential streets next to the commercial strip, with residential units above commercial space allowed inside the Magnolia Park zones themselves.
What makes properties here different
A house on a residential street and a unit in a mixed-use building inside the commercial zone are different products. Price each against its own kind of sale, and confirm the zone of your parcel with the City.
Living in the neighborhood
The zoning is written to keep the commercial strip pedestrian-oriented and tied to the residential areas around it.
