We are a group fighting to STOP the development of 910 S. Mariposa, Burbank CA 

On a 1 lane road cul-de-sac at the heart of the Equestrian neighborhood, within feet of the historic Mariposa Bridge, there is a 1.01 acre lot at 910 S. Mariposa.

Butterfly Gardens LLC plans to build a condo development on this site.

“Mariposa 1” Application (approved by Burbank City Council on July 25, 2023) includes:

  • 3 stories, 23 Condos, 76 bedrooms, 46 parking spaces.

After a lawsuit was filed in October 2023 challenging this approval, Butterfly Gardens submitted a second development application for the same lot on December 26th, 2024.

“Mariposa 2” Application (approved on November 26th, 2024) includes:

  • 5 stories, 40 units, 90 bedrooms, subterranean parking with 45 parking spaces.

Our main objective is to organize the effort in stopping the development of 910 S. Mariposa into luxury condos. This website should function as a hub of information on the issue.

There are many modern threats encroaching on our historic Rancho neighborhood, however this grassroots initiative is solely focused on preserving safe access to the Historic Mariposa Bridge by canceling the proposed condo developments at 910 S. Mariposa. If allowed to build, the community will be critically and literally endangered. Please read on, get involved, and support this fight! We need your help.

The burbank city council and staff failed us at the public hearings on July 25th 2023, and november 26th, 2024, but we are not giving up this fight.

Legal Action

A group of neighbors in the community created Friends of The Equestrian Bridge (FOTEB), a 501(c)(3) non profit corporation, and has filed two lawsuits against the City of Burbank, challenging that the two SB35 project applications do not comply with the statutory requirements of SB 35. There is a Status Conference for “Mariposa 1” is on March 20th, 2025, and there is no court hearing date set yet for “Mariposa 2.” Both cases will be decided by the same judge, who will make a decision in a hearing that will not be open to the public, but we at Cancel the Condos will keep you updated.

Please note Friends of the Equestrian Bridge is a separate entity from Cancel the Condos, however we wholeheartedly endorse its mission!
