The Cancel the Condos team and broader Rancho community showed up at Burbank City Hall and called in, urging City Council to agendize an Urgency Ordinance before the end of 2023 to enable Jan 1 2024 SB 423 protections of equestrian neighborhoods from SB 35 development. The emailed public comments in the days preceding the meeting were so robust that the item was agendized in the house before the council meeting even began. A win for the Rancho!

The Cancel the Condos team and broader Rancho community showed up to advocate for the adoption of the Urgency Ordinance that would enable SB423 protections for the Rancho community from SB 35 project applications in 2024. The Council unanimously voted to approve - a win for the Rancho!

Cancel the Condos team and the broader Rancho community showed up and advocated for an extension of the Urgency Ordinance adopted on December 10th, to afford the City of Burbank more time before SB 423 sunsets to complete the Rancho Specific Plan, which would protect the Rancho from SB35 development into the future. The council voted unanimously to approve the Ordinance, however disclosed that they had not yet begun work on the Rancho Specific Plan in the past year. Cancel the Condos will continue to demand that the city of Burbank prioritize the development of the Rancho Specific Plan.

Cancel the Condos and the broader Rancho community packed Burbank City Hall until so over capacity that there was a line out the door. Community members gave impressive and formidable public comment, despite being limited to 1 minute each. Burbank City Council insisted that their hands are tied from rejecting SB35 applications, and despite multiple council members verbalizing reluctance, unanimously voted to approve the Mariposa 2 application. Lawsuit #2 to come!
