Tri-Cities Burbank Cartoon studio Titmouse has leased space at Media Center North, an office building located at 2835 N. Naomi St. in Burbank. According to CoStar Group data, Titmouse will become the sole tenant at the 101,907-square-foot structure, which previously housed Psi, a career excellence center. The move represents Titmouse’s fourth location and will provide space for a 35 percent increase in workforce, according to media reports, which claim that some 250 people will be added to the company’s current 700-person staff. Titmouse, which has executed work for other companies and developed its own content in-house, is based in Hollywood, where it opened in 2000. Since then, the animation house has opened studios in New York and Vancouver. Last month, the company signed a major production deal with Netflix Inc. for original adult animated content on the streaming platform. Hollywood Burbank Airport handled nearly 6 million passengers during 2019, the highest total ever recorded at the Valley’s only commercial airfield. The number of 5,983,737 passengers surpasses the previous record of 5,921,336 passengers in 2007 for the airport. Frank Miller, executive director of Hollywood Burbank Airport, was pleased that the facility reached the milestone. “Since 2007, the airlines have introduced larger and more efficient aircraft on most of their routes resulting in less aircraft operations while allowing passenger growth,” Miller said in a statement. Southwest Airlines led with 4.2 million passengers flown all last year out of the seven airlines serving the airport. Next was Alaska Airlines with 605,303 passengers and United Airlines with 341,205 passengers. Total aircraft operations increased in 2019 with 146,095 total aircraft operations, a 10.7 percent increase compared to 132,023 total aircraft operations in 2018. Aircraft operations include takeoffs and landings of air carriers, air taxis, general aviation and itinerant military aircraft. Spirit Airlines began service between Hollywood Burbank and McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas in June. For the year, the airline served 73,090 passengers from the Valley.

Ventura County Simi Valley A proposed four-story, 278-unit apartment complex has been approved in Simi Valley under pressure-filled circumstances. The city of Simi Valley’s planning commission voted 4-1 on Feb. 5 to recommend approval of a mixed-use development on the northeast corner of Tapo and Alamo streets, in an effort to meet state-instituted housing quotas. Last year, AMG & Associates of Encino had proposed its intention to raze most of the existing Belwood Center and replace the 7-acre site with a mixed-use development that would include the residential units (including 83 apartments deemed affordable), a parking garage and roughly 8,000 square feet of commercial space. Then, after some NIMBY pushback from local residents, the planning commission rejected the AMG project on Dec. 4. However, since then, the municipality has come under pressure from state housing officials, who warned that Simi Valley could risk decertification and face serious repercussions if the city violated the Housing Accountability Act, which encourages the creation of affordable housing and supports infill residential developments by expediting approval requirements for developers. As a result, Simi’s planning commission voted Jan. 22 to reconsider the project, which the commission then passed a few weeks ago.
