Planning and Land Use

The Valley Plaza Parks are planned to be part of a Stormwater Capture project that will also reduce flooding and improve our parks.

As a result of COVID-19 and the Safer at Home order, StreetsLA is taking this opportunity to pave and sweep major streets through our new Adjusted Deployment to Accelerate Paving in High Traffic Corridors (ADAPT) program. 

This three-story low-rise supportive housing development is planned to offer critical supportive housing in North Hollywood.

One year ago, the intersection of Ben Avenue and Victory Boulevard in North Hollywood experienced severe flooding. Water actually covered the entire floor of the popular Lilit Bakery & Cafe, which was forced to close for several days. This storm water infrastructure project that will alleviate flooding at that intersection and the surrounding community. It is due to be completed in December.

The first Navigation Center in LA has opened in the Valley on Sherman Way near Lankershim. It includes storage, showers, restrooms and support staff to help those experiencing homeless to find a way forward.

This 49-unit project will include 48 permanent supportive housing units along with one manager unit and is located at 11604-11616 Vanowen St. in North Hollywood.

The project at Ben Avenue and Victory Boulevard will enable the DWP to recapture as much as 90 percent of runoff during a 24-hour, five-storm event.
