Project Overview

Project Overview

The Burbank Civic Center Project includes:  

Public assets 

• A replacement Central Library of approximately 65,000 square feet  

• Open space of approximately 52,000 square feet  

• Replacement office space for the City Administrative Services Building of approximately 20,000 square feet  

• Approximately 237 parking spaces for public users. This will support public and staff parking needs in the downtown area in conjunction with existing structures  

Private development 

• Development of opportunity sites (identified in the Downtown TOD Specific Plan and 2021-29 Housing Element update) with approximately 475 units of new housing, of which 20 percent are proposed to be affordable to lower income households 

• Approximately 15,000 square feet of commercial space  

• Approximately 564 parking spaces associated with the residential and commercial uses      

The project will also include infrastructure updates as needed for both public and private uses. The final site plan and design of buildings will follow at a later phase after additional input from the community and City Council.   

The public assets are anticipated to cost approximately $132 million in 2023 dollars, to be funded through the Municipal Infrastructure Fund created after voters approved Measure P in 2018, along with grants and other sources. Costs can be offset by revenue from ground leases for new residential developments.
