The Van Nuys Planning and Land Use Committee is focused on promoting quality projects and supporting business owners to generate a pedestrian friendly atmosphere and a safe sense of place in Van Nuys, the Hub of the San Fernando Valley.
The current Van Nuys Planning Document from 2004, Van Nuys Central Business District Design Criteria, describes Van Nuys as architecturally lost, a mix of styles: modern classicism, Monterey style, Mission revival and desert southwest influences. Our committee is working with the City Planning Department as part of their Transit Oriented Re-Zoning effort to redefine and shape Van Nuys. Join us!
