Your trusted partner for smarter zoning, faster permits, and smoother development in Burbank.
In Burbank, every property has its own story — one shaped by creativity, community, and vision. But before that story can take shape, there’s a maze of zoning codes, permits, and city regulations to navigate.
That’s where JDJ Consulting Group comes in.
We help developers, architects, and property owners make sense of the process. We simplify zoning rules and expediting permits so projects move forward without delays.
If you’re building, expanding, or redeveloping in Burbank, you need a local partner who knows the city — not just the paperwork.
Burbank is known for its creative industries, well-planned neighborhoods, and forward-thinking development. But it’s also known for being one of the most detail-oriented cities in Los Angeles County when it comes to planning and permitting.
At JDJ Consulting Group, we’ve spent years working with the City of Burbank’s Planning Division, Building Department, and Public Works. We understand how projects move through the system — and how to help them move faster.
Our team brings together zoning experts, entitlement specialists, and permit expeditors. Our experts know how to get things done right the first time. We don’t just handle the process — we make it clear, efficient, and predictable.
Every successful project begins with a clear strategy. At JDJ, we take the time to understand your goals, your property, and the specific challenges that come with developing in Burbank.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Custom Planning for Every Site – No two parcels are the same. We assess zoning designations, allowable uses, and restrictions to create a plan that aligns with your vision.
Zoning Made Simple – We translate the city’s complex regulations into plain language. You’ll know what’s possible before you invest in plans or applications.
Streamlined Permitting – Our Burbank permit expeditors work directly with city staff. They keep your project moving and avoid unnecessary corrections or resubmittals.
Collaborative Process – We stay in close contact with your architect, engineer, and design team so everyone stays aligned.
Local Insight – Our relationships with city planners and departments help cut through red tape and keep your project on track.
From zoning to permit approvals, our process is built around clarity and communication.
Burbank’s zoning code is comprehensive — and for good reason. The city values thoughtful, balanced growth that protects its character while welcoming innovation. But that also means even small projects can require extensive review.
That’s why having a zoning consultant is essential.
Here’s how we help:
Prevent Costly Setbacks by identifying zoning or code conflicts early in the process.
Save Weeks of Review Time by ensuring plans and documents meet city requirements upfront.
Maximize Your Property’s Potential by uncovering development incentives or underused entitlements.
Stay Compliant with local, state, and environmental regulations every step of the way.
Whether your project involves residential infill, mixed-use redevelopment, or adaptive reuse, JDJ’s local expertise gives you the confidence to move forward without surprises.
Understanding city approvals shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. Our team handles the details — so you can stay focused on your project’s design, funding, and construction.
1. Zoning Review and Code Interpretation
We analyze Burbank’s zoning map and municipal code to determine exactly what can be built on your site — including setbacks, parking, density, and allowable uses.
2. Feasibility & Entitlement Studies
We prepare detailed reports outlining development potential, restrictions, and possible pathways for approval. You’ll have clear data before committing resources.
3. Permit Expediting
Our permit expeditors handle submittals, plan checks, and communication with the city. We coordinate directly with planners, engineers, and reviewers to minimize back-and-forth.
4. Variance & Conditional Use Applications
If your project needs an exception to zoning rules, we prepare findings, staff reports, and visuals for Planning Commission hearings. Thus, ensuring a strong, well-documented case.
5. Design Review Support
We help you align your plans with Burbank’s design guidelines and prepare for staff review or board presentations.
6. Community and Stakeholder Coordination
When community input is required, we help manage outreach. Hence, addressing concerns early and building support for your proposal.
From start to finish, our focus is on efficiency, accuracy, and peace of mind.
