When did the planning effort begin?

In March 1992, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) began the process of receiving public input from various stakeholders impacted by the VNY Master Plan.  In early 1995, Planning Associates Inc. was selected to act as the primary consultant for the project.  LAWA and City Planning Department staff then began an on-going joint effort to identify general plan and zoning classifications for the airport.

The Master Plan timeline to date is as follows (future developments are tentative):

Who will ultimately approve the plan?

There will be opportunities for public comment when the final plan is presented to the City Planning Commission and Los Angeles City Council for approval.
