Council extends Measure One provision

Paul Clinton

CIVIC CENTER -- Burbank won’t see an explosion in new apartments any

time soon.

The City Council on Tuesday extended the provision of a 1989

slow-growth ballot measure that requires public approval of any annual

increase in multi-unit dwellings. The council unanimously approved the

Measure One provision.

Several other provisions of Measure One, approved by 74% of the

voters, have already been permanently written into the the city’s

Municipal Code. The public approval provision was set to expire Jan. 1.

The City Council voted Sept. 14 to keep the measure in tact. On

Tuesday, the council formally approved writing the provision into the

code.
