The North Hollywood Redevelopment Project area is located one mile north of the intersection of the Hollywood and Ventura Freeways, immediately north of the Cahuenga Pass in the east San Fernando Valley. The 743-acre project area is bounded generally by Hatteras Street on the north, Cahuenga Boulevard on the east, Camarillo Street on the south and Tujunga Avenue on the west.

The Redevelopment Plan for North Hollywood was adopted on February 21, 1979 and has been amended three times. The Plan sets forth a range of goals including the preservation and expansion of the housing stock, revitalization of the commercial core, improvement of public facilities, and promotion of quality urban design.

Conditions at Time of Adoption
The North Hollywood Redevelopment Project area was found to contain the following conditions of blight:

  • Numerous instances of structural deterioration plus environmental and land use conflicts which deterred significant investment.
  • High population density and overcrowding.
  • Incompatible land uses or shifting uses.
  • Defective design of physical construction combined with increasing age, obsolescence, deterioration and dilapidation.
  • Inadequate public infrastructure and public facilities. Major streets requiring improvements included Lankershim, Burbank, Magnolia and Chandler Boulevards. In addition, many minor streets did not meet City standards. Also, street lighting throughout the area was seriously deficient.
