SUMMARY Over several years and leading up to City incorporation, land development and traffic growth changed the Mulholland Highway corridor from its original rural character. In 1997 the City of Calabasas completed the Mulholland Highway Master Plan document. The Master Plan identified corridor and community issues, and provided direction to help the City improve the traffic operations and landscaping along Mulholland Highway in the future. In 2002 the City initiated an effort to update the 1997 document because of development proposals, approval of a new middle school and increased community interest in the corridor. This Master Plan for Capital Improvements (“Masterplan”) defines recommended improvements for the City to implement over time, as funding is available. The document describes improvement options that respond to the diversity of views and opinions about the future of this roadway. The Mulholland Highway Master Plan for Capital Improvements is a long-range planning document that provides recommendations for traffic, circulation, roadway, and landscaping improvements along a 1.7- mile segment of Mulholland Highway. The corridor extends from Mulholland Drive to the southern (second) Old Topanga Canyon Road intersection. Figure 1 illustrates the limits of the Master Plan. The Master Plan provides the City with recommendations to respond to the City’s General Plan vision statement for the area, which is to restore the original beauty of the Mulholland corridor by developing a comprehensive Master Plan for the roadway. HIDDEN HILLS LOS ANGELES CALABASAS Master Plan Limits . Figure 1: Mulholland Highway Corridor The Master Plan includes input from the community, which has largely shaped the recommendations of the Plan. These recommendations include detailed circulation and landscaping improvements throughout the corridor. The corridor is divided into three zones that correspond to their existing characteristics. Zone 1 includes the segment from Mulholland Drive to Paul Revere Drive and is more suburban in nature. Zone 2 extends from Paul Revere Drive to the traffic signal in front of the high school. Zone 3 includes the segment from the high school to the southern (second) Old Topanga Canyon Road Mulholland Highway Master Plan for Capital Improvements ii August 1, 2004 intersection. This document presents information and recommendations for Zones 1 and 2 only. Zone 3 is considered to be a “transition zone” – between suburban and rural. The portion of Zone 3 between the two Old Topanga Canyon Road intersections will be analyzed by the City as part of another document. Key

  • FACT SHEET: New Visitor Center at King Gillette Ranch
    FACT SHEET: New Visitor Center at King Gillette Ranch GENERAL A new interagency visitor center will open in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area on June 9 at King Gillette Ranch, the historic heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. Under the terms of a cooperative management agreement, the Anthony C. Beilenson Interagency Visitor Center will be jointly managed by the National Park Service (NPS), California State Parks (CSP), Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (SMMC), and the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA). The surrounding parkland is managed by MRCA. Formerly a horse stable for the Gillette Mansion, the re-purposed building unifies the local, state, and federal parks for SMMNRA’s 35 million annual visitors and is a national model for cooperation and efficiency. Few locations in California offer in one setting the opportunity to understand a cross-section of California’s rich history, including sites that represent Native American settlement, Spanish missions and adobes, Mexican ranchos, California homesteading, and modern movie-making. The new interagency visitor center replaces an existing NPS visitor center located outside the boundary in a poor-visibility area. That center will be closed to promote greater efficiency. Complimentary two-hour parking is available adjacent to the visitor center. A larger parking lot administered by the MRCA is nearby for a $7 all-day permit. HISTORY The prehistoric Native American Chumash village of Talopop covers the western portion of the site. Extensive archeological records are still present today for what is believed to be the largest interior Chumash settlement in California. King C. Gillette, the razor magnate, purchased the ranch in 1926 and commissioned Wallace Neff, considered “Architect of California’s Golden Age,” to design the estate, which was completed in 1928.

Sherman Oaks is one of the oldest communities in the Valley. It is a large community, bounded by Mulholland Drive on the south, the I-405 freeway on the west, Burbank Boulevard on the north, and Coldwater Canyon Boulevard on the east. SOHA has been a part of this community since our founding in 1964. With a membership of several thousand, we see how our community works together on local projects and cares about our community of interest, which is the San Fernando Valley. SOHA’s monthly meetings draw up to 500 attendees, especially when our residents get to participate in debates for hotly contested political seats. We appreciate that the Commission’s redistricting maps have kept the Sherman Oaks community whole within the “Thousand Oaks – Santa Monica Mountains” California Assembly District and “Los Angeles – Santa Clarita Valley” California Senate District (see maps on page 2). Placing the boundaries for both districts at Mulholland Drive is the right answer.

  • From Great Hikes and Movie Locations to Epic Views, Explore the Range of Recreation Options in the Santa Monica Mountains by Matt Jaffe
    into our Wild From great hikes and movie locations to epic views, explore the range of recreation options in the Santa Monica Mountains By Matt Jaffe ate one afternoon many years ago, I headed out for a hike in Franklin Canyon above Beverly Hills. As I climbed the chaparral-covered slopes, a red-tailed hawk wheeled overhead and a coyote yipped in the hills. I had to re- mind myself that this wild landscape lies just a few miles from Rodeo Drive. I first learned this place was part of something bigger after seeing Lsigns bearing the National Park Service’s familiar arrowhead-shaped emblem. Franklin Canyon belongs to the Santa Monica Mountains OXNARD THOUSAND National Recreation Area (SMMNRA), the world’s largest urban national OAKS park. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the park rambles from BURBANK the Hollywood Hills to the Oxnard Plain and protects 150,000 acres. But unlike traditional national parks such as Yosemite and Yellowstone, MALIBU LOS ANGELES SMMNRA’s land is not contiguous; it is an amalgam of federal, state, and SANTA MONICA local parklands stitched together after a decades-long grassroots effort. I’ve been hiking the Santa Monica Mountains for about 30 years now, and in that time I’ve experienced the range’s many moods: meadows For a detailed map of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and brightened with California poppies and lupines, high peaks veiled in information on sites mentioned in this story, go fog, and even a fast-moving wildfire raging at the end of my street.
