Burbank's "Media District" Designated State Cultural Heritage Zone
In a move to protect its cinematic history,the California Historical Resources Commission designated Burbank's Media District—home to Warner Bros., Disney, and Nickelodeon—as the state's first "Living Cultural Heritage Zone." The designation provides tax incentives for preserving historic soundstages and facades and limits redevelopment. Studio executives cheered the move, while some property developers criticized it as an unfair restriction on land use in a prime urban area.
