UNIVERSAL CITY : MCA Agrees to Give City Long-Sought Master Plan
After nearly three decades of piecemeal development of its 420 acres in the Cahuenga Pass, MCA Inc. announced Thursday that it will provide city and county officials with a long-sought master plan.
Additionally, MCA executives said they are scrapping plans for a 10-story parking garage--vehemently opposed by neighbors--directly off the Hollywood Freeway.
The action comes at a time when MCA is pressing county transportation officials to relocate a proposed subway station to a site that would be more convenient to Universal’s amusement park and CityWalk attractions.
In a statement released by MCA, Mayor Richard Riordan, City Councilman John Ferraro and County Supervisor Ed Edelman praised the announcement. Planning officials have long been frustrated by the absence of a master plan for the diamond-shaped acreage.
It is expected to take two years to come up with the plan.
