Most temporary mud and debris flow devices that are for temporary
protection will not require a building permit.
Temporary is generally defined
as 180-days or less, or in this instance
of flow protection, for the duration of the rainy season which is October 15,
2017 through April 15, 2018.
The City of Burbank will work with property owners to expedite all
proposed devices that require a building permit. Some measures may require
a Hillside
Development Permit for a permanent solution.
