Living in Reseda
Reseda is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood in the central San Fernando Valley, inside the Reseda-West Van Nuys Community Plan Area, which also covers Lake Balboa and West Van Nuys, spans Council Districts 3 and 4, and answers to the South Valley Area Planning Commission. City Planning's own overlay materials confirm the council-district split, so representation depends on which part of the neighborhood a parcel sits in.
Downtown Reseda's central business district carries a Community Design Overlay, an extra design-review layer on top of base zoning for the affected commercial parcels, worth knowing for mixed-use and small-commercial buyers along Sherman Way.
Sherman Way carries the commercial spine, and the central business district around it sits under a design overlay that adds review on top of base zoning for affected parcels. Construction submittals go to the city's Van Nuys development services office on Van Nuys Boulevard.
